Sometimes the way sentences are worded pull me out of a story. I don't really like the "she saw him open the gate and come up the walk" or "he heard the door open."

I discovered Plant Breeder. It's as active or passive as you want it to be. You can control the change in your flowers by splicing and cloning by hand or click a button and let them evolve. I've let the one I started on Saturday run in the background. I go and look at it periodically. It started with an alpine lily and later I added a cherry branch ( Read more... )

The store is attempting to hire more people. Hopefully soon we'll have enough help that I can work less than 40 hour weeks.

JD talked to his new friends all the way into the hall. People hailed Sapulvado where he sat across from the door. A fellow student confided that everyone knew Sapulvado, but no one knew him well.

JD tossed his school bag on his bed. Homework. Maybe he shouldn't put off moving to the dorms. If he called the dean and said he changed his mind, would the dean call his mothers? JD wanted a clean break. Once he was at the university, his mothers would have a harder time ( Read more... )
