Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

I know which is which but I keep forgetting @AOC's family name and calling her Oxlade-Chamberlain

Betsy Woodruff and Natasha Bertrand

Young reporters and recurring panelists on CNN or MSNBC RussiaGate shows. One writes for the Daily Beast, the other for the New Yorker, I think? Both are brunette and pretty cute, but I think it's Betsy who has kind of a crooked Brian Williams jaw I can't stop staring at.

granulated sugar
confectioners sugar

I'll read a recipe that calls for granulated, and I'll think "not regular sugar" and reach for confectioners. Fuckers should stick to calling them either "sugar" or "powdered sugar".

Kevin Coyne even ended up inheriting Kevin Ayers' backing band, at one point.

last week's commemorations reminded me that for a long time the following was true:

Dunkirk
Normandy

(BBC2 unhelpfully showed Dunkirk on 6th June this year as well)

^So fortunate the Allies didn't have that same confusion. "Now remind me again. We're supposed to take as many as we can back to England, or establish a beachhead? Dunno why I can't keep that bit straight."

See, I've always been the guy who goes "Omaha Beach? I thought they landed at Normandy?"

General Jackson
General Jackson

Harry Truman apparently used to exclaim, "Jesus Christ and General Jackson!" I don't know if he's referring to Andrew or Stonewall.

I also get Stonewall Jackson and General Sherman mixed up, which is completely mixed up in itself. (It's one of those that I can figure out after two seconds, but damn, why does it always take me two seconds?)

Pretty sure when 19th century doodz said "Jackson" unqualified, they would have meant Andrew. A symbol of audacious courage, elan, and not giving a fuck.

Ultimate proof of how much of a bandwagon-hopper I was with the Raptors this year: Paul George and Chris Paul.

"Gin and Juice" must have further complicated the situation.

Yesterday I learned that Kate Mara (full name Kate Rooney Mara) and Rooney Mara (full name Patricia Rooney Mara) are two different people, and I've seen either/both of them in loads of things and considered the-two-people-I-thought-was-one-person to be an excellent actor

Kate O'Mara was also an excellent actor. She was on Dynasty as Caress Morell, also was in The Vampire Lovers (1970).
