Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

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

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.]

Yay Nilly! Just a little bit more, and it's all behind you!

About the copy paste: usually, and I don't know if it has anything to do with me using Firefox, I can copy-paste from PDF (unless they're protected).

So I guess I can't help much. Humm.
