DXM, looks like the Dodgers went with Grady Little.

Although I did think he got a bit of a raw deal up in Boston. At least it wasn't Fregosi...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

What is even happening?
If it happened to me, I'd tell said kid, "Sounds like you need to tell the prize committee you forgot to cite a quote in that piece of writing you did, see what they make of it."shrift, assuming that you're either cool with it now because of the confession, or at least not angry about it, I think the above is the way to handle it. Tell her it's not fair to the other people who entered the contest. Then I'd forget about it, and let her be honorable or not, on her own.

OK I love the face recognition software now. It just told me I look like Audrey Tautou, Billie Holliday, Shakira and Jennifer Connelly. All of whom are at least 12 times better-looking than me.
Have you met you?

I've just been informed that someone "borrowed" a paragraph of my (original) writing for a short story, and subsequently has won a large cash prize and trip to a writing workshop.
Well, at least you got some outside validation on your writing.
And what some of the other folks upthread said about telling her/him to fess up to the prize committee.
So it wasn't fic they swiped? How'd they find some of your original fiction? Are you holding out on us?
I'm so tired of work. Can I go on sabbatical now? Like, to Thailand?

Got the cats to and from the vet ok. Oz has lost .4 of a pound since last year, so he is no longer the fat fatty of the bunch. Sylvester beats him out by .2 now. Sylvester definately has some sort of urinary tract issue, but it wasn't serious enough to show anything yet to the vet, so he is back on the good food and I am watching him. poor thing.

Just watched this week's GA. Do they give Emmy's for show most likely to break you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Damn, shrift. That's so crazy! For one thing, who confesses to something like that? If you do it, you do it.
My Dean of Students has tried to convince me that students of today don't know they aren't supposed to cut and paste from the Internet, I should feel sorry for the poor ignorant students, and they should be forgiven. I am not a believer.
I call bullshit as well.

Hey, sometimes I write stuff in livejournal that isn't fic. Sometimes it's even snappy.

Yeah, well, apparently kids of today need to learn things the hard way, then. And better now than later.

Hello, come on.
