Much coping~ma Raq!

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.

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.

---

vw, I agree with Anne. I'd double space and make sur eyou use lots of short paragraphs since it's an outline.

Cindy, thanks! That dress has special meaning to me - Joe had it made for me when we were dating back in Korea. I first wore it 9 years ago. It's tighter now, but I'm glad I can still wear it.

I have to second the VM love. It took me less time than Cindy, but I fell hard for the show somewhere around episode 19 or so. I watched it at first, got distracted by something else, and then finally came back to it after friends(I actually typed fiends there) kept pushing it.

---

I don't mind doing outlines. As a matter of fact, I usually do one for just about every paper I write. I write the thesis, then do a quicky outline to give myself an idea of how to formulate my thoughts. But, 6-8 pages???! That's just craziness. Just because it's the best way he's learned to develop a paper doesn't mean it's how everyone works best.

On the other hand, though, I'm doing my best to fulfill the assignment. No one else in the class has. Most people either didn't do it at all or did a one-page outline. The outline is 1/3 of the final paper grade, which is 30% of the total grade. I'm not willing to take that kind of risk.
