I never got around to watching VM when it first came on, and then things got to a point where I felt like I'd be too far behind to get caught up. So, I never watched.

I think I may have to remedy that situation.

The more I talk to the friend we are meeting in Germany, the more worried I get. He's bringing skiing stuff, and got a card so he can go to the military commissary in Garmisch. I see no time in the schedule for skiing or driving to Garmisch, and since he's going to the US for 3 weeks after Germany, I don't know what he'd buy at the comm. anyway.

We ended up renting a car after all - even with the insane-o German rates, it was much cheaper than the train + taxi combo. I've informed him that I will be the driver. For one thing, we're getting a VW Passat (go figure) and I know from 3 years with my Passat that other people stall them out. I've also informed the friend that he gets 20% of the trunk space, so he might want to reconsider the ski gear.

Wish me coping!

And when I get back, I expect everyone to be recovered from colds, flus, other, and happy and cozy. That's an order!

Much coping~ma Raq!

That's how I felt. If I had a DVD drive on this PC, I'd burn you all a copy of season 1. You don't have to have seen season 1 to watch season 2 (but you should totally watch season 1 for the character development, because I think Veronica's more appealing this season if you know about her past, and see the change in her (well supported by canon) between last season and this).

I think I may have to remedy that situation.

If you can rent the first season from NetFlix or Blockbuster, you really should. But, I think it's like BtVS or A:ts, in that you could come in a season other than season 1, and catch up later. It's just that watching from the beginning is going to give you the fullest experience.

ION, I am evil. I'm about to double-space an assignment that I'm not sure whether or not it's to be double-spaced. But, it's supposd to be 6-8 pages, and I'm on page three and can't think of another thing to add. So, it's getting double-spaced, and there you have it.

---

I think double-spacing is actually standard for papers, vw. At least it was when I was in college and had to keep an eye out for pleisiosaur attacks on the way to class.

---

This is actually an outline, so I'm not sure that the "rules" are the same. He wants a 6-8 page outline, though, for a 15 page paper. It's a RIDICULOUS assignment, and I'm willing to take shortcuts :).

---

That's crazy. I'm thinking that white space is your friend on this one.

Sigh. Off to work in a moment or two. This is the last day on this particular assignment. Monday, I transfer to another department within the same company for a job that could become permanent (and it's in a field I like, so yay!)

---

That's wonderful, Anne! Good luck!

---

Whatever. I always hated having to do outlines anyway - they just don't suit the way I think when I'm doing a paper.
