But where did this much younger guy come from?

Does it matter? Also, if it weirds you out too much, feel free to send him my way.

Timelies! All the yucky dreams and bad wakings up should just go away, now. I so decree.

I really want someone to come decorate my bedroom. Watching Trading Spaces makes me cranky that all my walls are just plain white. But I'm too lazy to paint on my own (I'm no Anne.) Although, if I buy the paint, I'm pretty sure I could convince my daughter to do it. She likes to paint (I think she's a tad loopy, myself.)

Ah, well, back to cleaning out the closets in her bedroom so she can hang her clothes up.

Hec, as always you fill me with "Love and Happiness".(Wow, three discs. Just, wow. If I wasn't a hardboiled crime writer, I'd get all giddy and shit.) Vw, also wow, because that is the stage in paper-writing where I realize "Gah! Too short!" and start pulling half-remembered facts out of my shapely crippled ass and going insane with prepositional phrases to get my count up.

All is well that ends in pizza.

My paper is now up to 12 pages. It's supposed to be 8-10. Fortunately I already know that he doesn't care if it's a little long, but jeez... And I still have SO much left to explore. It's crazy.

It's always better to write long and condense than to write little and stretch it with filler.

Mostly lurking...

Oh, there will be no more condensing. There has already been condensing...things that I think are fairly important that have just had to be left out. The prof knows it's long. He told me it's ok. I just gotta try not to make it any longer.

The status is NOT quo.

Kate, I'm so happy that you had such a great time! Jess, I'm so sorry about the anxiety dream. Those are the worst.

vw, I'm really hoping to get a look at that when it is done. Which class was this paper for? At this point, I don't remember.

Sure, but I don't think it's generally a matter of choice.

Never said it was. Nor do I maintain it to be universally true for all writing. But for college papers, it tends to be better to just write it all out, then attack it and cut it down, rather than stopping short because you're out of material and having to add things to meet a minimum page count.

ETA: In other words, I'd rather have the pain of cutting down than the anguish of falling short.

Man, I'm dizzy. I've been dizzy and had mild vertigo since Friday, actually. I thought it was the ship at first, but I've been on land for 36 hours and am still completely off balance. Ear infection maybe? What are the other symptoms?
