Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

NYPD Blue was still on the air in 2003?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe...How you mean storyboard exactly?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's really very simple --

Male butt = funny = OK for prime time!

Female butt = sexay = OHNOESWON'TSOMEBODYTHINKOFTHECHILDREN???!!!!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Like ... I have a presentation I need to do that's 10 slides. I draw ten blank squares on a sheet of paper and then make brief notes for what each is going to contain. Introduction, Example, Conclusion, Sources. Kind of like an outline, but in squares.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Not generally, but I have on occasion. It's helpful if you haven't really worked out your message yet.

Outlines then slides? I totally do. Helps me work to the right length, and allot the different sections their correct proportions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I kind of outline on the slides -- make the headings I think I want first, see if I still want them.

Awesome. This is only the second or third time I've done a presentation and it's good to see that others who use it more frequently find this technique helpful.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I follow the Jesse method. Did that a lot for school presentations, especially on team projects. It helped to divide up the work. Created blank slides with just the heading.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I just want to take a moment to say that FNL's Taylor Kitsch was cute like a thing that is cute judging part of the skills competition at the NHL All-Star weekend events yesterday.

I think the universe is trying to kill me with all my too-young tv crushes resolving to have outside interests that line up with mine. I do not know that I can handle hockey-fan Taylor and blues-singing Gareth in such close succession. It may be excessive adorable.
