I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Buffy ,'End of Days'


Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And sorry about the having to work on the HELL DAYS meara. Feel for me too. Not only do I have to work, but I have to cater to an inn full of reveling 'publicans.

I'm going to put out there breakfast (without spitting in it, I swear) and then follow them right out the door.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's on potassium channels and lipid interactions. Trying to do something broad, encompassing everything from trafficking and localization to regulation and signaling, including pharmacology and therapeutic targets. It's a review paper, and I'm having some trouble finding stuff to fill out every slot. It's a big mess of PIP2 and arachidonic acid and ten different types of channels right now.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

When does it have to be done by?

I need an outline by Tuesday morning. I want to have the thing written by mid-May.

I'm sure, if I rearranged all those words, I'd come up with a 42-like answer to all the world's problems.

Much sense-making and rich-resource ~ma to you, my paper crafting friend. I'm wishing you a sudden and fruitful breakthrough that makes it all fall easily into place. That or really strong stimulants and pounds of luck.

For me, the outline is always the hardest part. You have to take all the data you've accumulated and organize it into something understandable. Yuck. Writing the actual paper? Much easier IMO.

Lots of outline~ma to you.

Agreed! Once the outline is done, the rest is cake.

What is this "outline" of which you speak?

On assignments where we had to turn in an outline, I wrote the paper first, then made an outline of it.

I think we have an over-achiever in here tonight! Writing an outline and a paper at the last minute is a time honored tradition.

beathen is me!

TIME honored tradition. There is no other way.

I learned how to do that 3 x 5 card outline (and to procrastinate) in the 7th grade. Can't produce a paper any other way!

And honestly? The ones I pulled out of my orafice at the last minute always turned out the best.
