I'm with Sue.
Except that I'm not sure what a comma splice is.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Right on - the publisher loves the cover sketch by the artist we picked to do the interior illustrations. As Deb will attest - you don't usually get much input on the cover.
Book is tentatively scheduled for November. Our artist, Tom Neely, will be busting his hump to make a full color cover for the April 10th catalog. Once it's in the catalog, it goes up on Amazon. Then it feels real.

I am the exception to the rule.
I'm with Sue.
And Sue and sumi prove once again that the One True Common Trait amongst Buffistas is that they all share no common traits (again, cept that Buffy show maybe).
Except that I'm not sure what a comma splice is.
A comma splice is two main clauses linked by a comma. (ex: The wind was cold, they decided not to walk.) You can usually fix them by throwing a conjunction after the comma or just making them two sentences. I know you didn't ask. But I haven't edited anything in days and I was feeling some grammar withdrawal.
ION - did all emusic users know that once you've downloaded something you can download it again and again and it doesn't count against your monthly total? Very handy considering how much stuff I have lost off my hard drive since I opened my account.
downloading entire belle and sebastian catalog again right now...

Congrats on the book-ma Hec. That's splendid news.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I feel for the poor misunderstood semicolon; no one understands it.

Eff the semicolon. There, I said it.

I feel your love. But as I told my brother when I was writing his last paper helping him with his last paper - you want a dead giveaway that somebody wrote something for you? Go from being a comma splicer straight to using semicolons.
He wanted a semicolon in there so bad and I said no college professor would really believe that anyone still in college knew how to properly use a semicolon. Well, not him anyway.
