New Laurie King, new Janet Evanovich, new ELLEN KUSHNER! Lots of good books for your return. I invented a fabulous chicken dish too, with cumin and chipotle and raisins and maple syrup, and I will send you that when you are home.
I love these reports, sweetie. They are wonderful to read.
grad students: the ultimate Red ShirtsresearchgrrrlJuly 20 2006, 23:15:54 UTC
If it's any consolation at all? I got to live through a very personal hell of (and I'm not making this up) separating dark grains of sand from light grains of sand with a razor blade. For eight hours.
I have never been more tempted just to open a vein and bleed out slowly than I was at that point.
It isn't as bad as you could have done for a SK novel. Not as good as some of his others, but definitely not as bad. Small mercies and all that.
One day I'll be a professor and then I'll get to make grad students do this shit.
If I were at all craftsy, I'd make you a plaque that says that, to hang on your wall. *grin*
When it all gets too much, remember that while you're transversing the SFZ (which is so cool, and I'm geeking along with you), the rest of us are sweltering in record temperatures....
