French women are too busy eating bon-bons to be athletic? I don't know. Of course, I just had an ice cream cookie sandwich, so I'm feeling like bon-bons are a completely valid lifestyle choice.

Noah and Grace are too, too, too cute. And I love the fox in socks.

I am very tired, for no reason in particular. I did little to nothing today, and it was awesome, but that means I have a lot to do tomorrow. Sadly.

And I'm still loving the Olympics. Though I want more of Shawn and Nastia.

Women's Gymnastics Event finals are tomorrow, right? More Shawn and Nastia.

True. But I want more of them NOW. And I want them both on the Wheaties box, unrelatedly. Nastia is fantastic, but I love Shawn too. She's just adorable. I can actually see how much she just loves gymnastics, and I find it incredibly endearing. But the event finals tomorrow are at 6:00, I think, so unlikely to see them live. And I won't be home until 8:30.

I realize my problems are world-ending.

Pretty much earth shattering, yes.

I'm still missing the Hamm twins.

MeMEME: We have achieved file.

127 pages.

Now, to burn a CD.

No, wait - now to deal with a bit more bureaucracy.

THEN the CD!

woo hoooooooo

Dissertation watch & post, right on! Go Nilly!

I miss the Hamms too! Paul is super exciting to watch. Also, I saw them during one of those tour of champions things, and if they ever add in a category of synchronized tumbling, those two would kill it. They blew everyone away with their synch skills. I suppose the twin thing probably came in handy there.

Good luck, Nilly!

Does anybody have an idea if there's a way to copy-and-paste stuff from a pdf file, or do I have to write the table-of-contents and the abstract, which they want in a separate file, from scratch?

The abstract is no problem, of course, but the ToC is something that my latex template created, so copying it manually will take quite some time.

[Edit: OK, I think I found some option. Nebermind.]
