relating to a discussion we had way back when (like a few days ago). Rember the talk about the study that showed there is "no such thing as a bisexual man" in the NY times.
Turns out (surprise suprise) that the researcher who produced the report was fired for ethical violations and sloppy research from his previous job.

Love the smirky picture.
Sleep schedules are weird and confusing and need to get settled now. The first day I got back from Israel, my body seemed to think it was still there, and I fell asleep at 6. The next few days after that, I slowly started getting back onto actual time, and yesterday, I fell asleep at 9:30. Seems all good. Today, though, it's 12:30, and I'm still not asleep. I'm not entirely sure what time zone my body thinks it's in now, but I really wish it would figure out that it's supposed to be in this one.
I've got some Tylenol PM, and I would take it, except that I've got an interview tomorrow and really can't be groggy. But being sleepy doesn't seem like it would be much better.

I'm not sure how I feel about this interview. It's a great job, but I'm not entirely sure I'm qualified for it, and it's the kind of thing that really needs to be done by someone who knows what they're doing. And I'm not sure that's me.
I just found out I made the semifinals of what's reputed to be one of the tougher and more prestigious romance writing contests out there!
I'm stunned. Over the moon. This comes during as bad a week of writerly self-doubt and pessimism as I've ever had (though I've kept writing throughout). Semifinals just means top 30%, but its reputation means it self-selects for good writers to a certain degree, and in previous contests my scores have hovered right around the contest average.

Wow, and I thought the Times would be more accepting than that...
In a bit more seriousness @@
job-ma, Hil! The PM in the Tylenol is just some Benedryl if that helps you choose whether to take it or not...
In my new shorter hair news, bath rock even more when you don't have to try to pull your hair up into a cheerleader ponytail beforehand.
I am heading to bed now I think.
Whoot Susan!
Well. In answer to a question I pondered a couple of days ago, I've done the tally, and I have COMM'd Steph nine times. An example:
moonlit: Ebay halts auction of girls
Steph: Well, damn. My high bidder was up to $12.83.
She's a steal!
We could have a Buffista sale! I can see the ads now: "Everyone has been slashed!"
It's about time you had a
nice
surprise, Susan. Congratulations!
