There are still a couple of listing that run for a couple more days, but the majority of the auction items have sold. My mom's group should get almost $10,000.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Awesome, Dana! Go you with your bad charitable self.

Argh! I can't come up with a summary! I wrote three pages of "Analysis and Discussion," and now I have nothing left for "Summary and Conclusions"!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's awesome, Dana!
I really hate writing research reports. First off, I try to begin almost every sentence with "In addition."
Oh, god, me too. Can you take some of your Discussion and make it Conclusions?
I almost swung by the protest in Union Square today, but decided it was weird to swing by a protest.

I kind of think I need all the discussion I've got. I think I'll babble about the importance of critical thinking for a paragraph or so.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

At the risk of seeming patronizing (I'm not...), ask yourself questions the way a friend would. "What is your paper about? Can you cut to the chase for dummies?" = Summary "Why did you write the paper? What are you trying to prove?" = Conclusion/s

I have my second job interview with UCB tomorrow. I just received an email at 4:40pm today that asked if I had any documentation I'd written at my old job. I didn't take much when I left and the documentation I wrote was in the form of emails to customers. I printed out a bunch of thank you notes from customers when I left but I'm not sure if they include any of the longer directions I wrote. My printout of thank you notes from customers is 4" thick.

Yeah, I did those. Mind you, I also did those in the introduction, but what the hell. The main problem is that I think my project's a piece of crap, so I'm having trouble really selling it.
No. The real problem is IDON'TWANNAAAAA so I'm having trouble making myself do it. I just need to bullshit another page, slap some stuff together for the appendix, and get back to deciding how I'm going to teach factoring polynomials to kids who were, seriously, astounded and dismayed at the idea that you could factor 4x out of 4x^2 + 24x today.
