You'll do great, Sally! Is there anything we can do to help?

but my spell check says adviser. I believe Bun over Steve Jobs anyday.
Both are correct, but I also prefer "advisor" Sally.
Two more weeks Sally you can do it! I stink at writing so won't be much help there, but if I can help by sending a cheesecake or something to said advisor let me know.

Why don't you send that Rembrandt you have as an avatar. At least I think it is. Anyway, that would help.
It is a Rembrandt, but I don't see how possession of stolen property would put her advisor in a good mood.
Money! Jim, professors steal all kinds of things, because they can't afford it any other way.I also notice that Heidi and Bun are online. Where be they?
Probably keeping a low profile for the sneak attack

I have already blown their cover as I saw them online. I think they are waiting behind some ficus or other, fearing the field of wit combat! hehehehehehehehe

Heidi!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP with the ( ) We know you are ENTHUSIASTIC !!!!! give us an example.
(i can still be enthusiastic when i whisper, stephen.)
(yoooooouuuu don't believe me?!!!! :D ♥!!!!! you should!!!)
How did you make that heart? Tell me that and I will believe you.
(ampersand, write out the word "hearts," semi-colon - all one word)
You can also do little cute signs by pressing ALT and at the same time a number!! In case you didn't know that....See let me show you...
☺ that is alt 1, ☻ alt 2, ♥ alt 3, ♦ alt 4, ♣ alt 5, ♠ alt 6, •alt 7, ◘ alt 8, ○ alt 9, ◙ alt 10, ♂ alt 11, ♀ alt 12, ♪ alt 13......

Right now I'm posting a reivew. Please read it. I could give a crap if you vote. Is that better than vote whoring? I've gone the opposite direction, showing appropriate intellectual scorn for the approval of my peers. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Right now I'm up, 4:48AM, thinking I should write in my journal, but I'll probably watch Sportscenter instead.
Did you just wake up? Or have you been up all night?
No, I fell asleep at about 9PM. Stephen and I are the same sleeping schedule. Early risers rule!
We do, and early sleeper do too. ;-) So over all, we are the rulers?
Right now I'm wondering why people treat mysteries as if they are some lesser literature? My conclusion: snobbery. I've read mysteries that so far outpaced some of the 19th and 20th century classics I've read, that to name them would ban me from the halls of Reader World. Sometimes a good mystery writer will make social commentary in a few pages, that takes our "serious" authors 500 pages.
Oh, one of my friends from work is there, Larry...I saw some of the agenda...looks great...have a wonderful time with your family, too...
One more week Sally - you are almost done great job on staying on task!
Right now I'm torn about a review I've posted (SHUT UP) because it's about an author I have a great deal of respect for, and I feel terrible laying two lousy stars on him. NO I don't give a frickadldy dooda if you read, piss on it, or otherwise think of it, but I felt bad because he is suuuuuuuuuuuch a good novelist, but the poopiest short story writer I've ever come across.Why do successful novelists feel that they can write short stories? That works the other way around too. Very few can do both with any degree of success. The short story is a form, novels are a form. You must master your form, that means making a choice of form. I can play the piano, organ, and harpsichord, yet the only one I can say I am the master of is the harpsichord. Why? It's the form I chose.
So why do writers think they can hop from one form to another? See, this is really about my deep disappointment. I was ready to be swept away with short masterpieces. Instead, I was underwhelmed by tepid bathwater from a leaking tub.

Hang in there, Sally. It does eventually end.
Good for you, Sally! You're getting there, you're doing it! Hurray!
Right now I'm wondering if anyone is still alive in this rather dead (at the moment) group.
Going to bed. At this very moment, I'm shutting down and going to bed. RA be up early.
I think I'm the only person I know in Little Rock who's NOT going to Dickey-Stephens ballpark tonight for the Dave Matthews/Greg Allman concert. I'd go to see Greg Allman, but I don't think you could pay me enough to sit through DMB performing, even if the venue is way cool.
You will have time for some quality time with your dog tonight.

i would go see gregg allman just to hear him sing Whipping Post
Sunbreak! Going for a walk...
