I started typing here few things. Then I realized it became a blog post, so that's where I took it to. [link]

'Hell Bound'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Good luck finishing your dissertation, Seska!
I am enjoying another peaceful beach morning. I could get used to this way too easily.

Seems like the Shalit deal might be happening soon: [link]
Humm. That means I really have to finish that God damn paper to watch TV.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
There are NO MORE words I can take out! None! And I have 15,000 words and the limit was 12,000! If I go more than 5% over the word limit, I will lose significant marks. This is just impossible.
But thanks for the good luck, sj :) (I envy your beach weather. We have cooooold.)

I almost want to say "fuck them. Give it as it goes, and let them bash their little tiny heads that can't understand that sometimes the word limit is stupid and unnecessary into the wall of your paper's awesomeness", but I'm not sure I'd take that risk myself.
But congrats!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay for getting the writing done, Seska! I'm sorry you are having trouble finding chaff to winnow out.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Good luck trimming, Seska.
Filed under the thread title (that sure as hell wasn't in the brochure), I offer the following: I just saw my grandfather in his skivvies. I believe a sense of humor is going to be essential to get through the day.

Seska, it is quite cold here, I'm just enjoying the quiet of a summer spot in the off season.

I believe it's always an essential.

That's the problem. I'm now almost down to 13,000, but that's still a few percent over the 5% upper limit. If that gets me marked down, and pushes me out of the range of a distinction, that could put paid to my ambitions for getting PhD funding. I'm not securely enough into the overall distinction range, with my other results, to risk it. If I were, I absolutely would. (I hate that my ambitions for the next few years, and possibly beyond that, are going to be dependent on a few percentage points in a result for a single dissertation...!)
Talking of papers, how's yours going, Shir?
Wishing you sense-of-humo(u)r~ma, smonster.
