You are a GRAMMAR GOD!


Congratulations! If your mission in life
is not already to preserve the English tongue,
it should be. You can smell a grammatical
inaccuracy from fifty yards. Your speech is
revered by the underlings, though some may
blaspheme and call you a snob. They're just
jealous. Go out there and change the world.

This time of year always seems like such a blur. I find myself counting down how many days Hannah has left to school. Now we have a new thing to put into the equation: how many days Mitch will be traveling. He got back from England last night, leaves for Chicago on Sunday, comes back Thursday or Friday. And said that was all the travel he had booked! Except for yet another trip to Chicago at the end of the month. I shake my head, smile a bit sadly, and don't even bother believing that's going to be the end of the travel.

Neither here nor there, because I'm writing good and fun sci-fi. Hannah's so excited she keeps asking to read what's next. That, to me, is a very good sign. If my kid likes it, then other kids will like it. And then I can shop it, and yeah. When I consider the last thing I published (besides technical writing) was a comic book... guess it's not so very different. Just a lot more words and a lot less script. I had good artists to work with back then. Collaborative efforts are fun.

This is also the time of year here when I wonder if summer will ever arrive. It's June, it's cold. At least today the sun is peeking through. But I still see thunder clouds out there. It's Portland, it's June, it's Rose Festival. Got your umbrella?

Here's to you, the next JKR *raises a glass and toasts your talent*

Any development on the site as yet? Keep me posted please. Don't do it via YIM, I've had to take that off of my system. Strangely, some of the stuff has cleared up since I removed Yahoo stuff. Still waiting on that computer engineer to tell me that my system is FUBAR and I have to pay them millions. I'm so missing the community and stuff.

I'm not letting anyone post on Dogstar, just on the LJ community. But it's pretty slow, and it proves to me that people will not do things for themselves once they're expecting others to do these things for them.

Let's hope your PC isn't completely trashed. I won't even say "that's what you get for visiting those types of sites." Nope, won't say that at all.

Yup, I know what you mean. The only reason I haven't posted on the journal is that I'm reluctant to open up any more programmes (ie Else and her other LJ accounts) until stuff is all fixed. I miss YIM, too but that's the way it sits just now. As for going to 'those' sites! Gah!! I wish ... I hit an innocent looking page on a search and it threw a load of boobs, fanny and fluff at me. I was hardly impressed. Wouldn't have minded if it was the PlayWitch one ... I would have happily accepted by fate. *cough*BillWeasley*cough*

Hullo?

William, dear old chap ... might I suggest you Google a certain 'PlayWitch' magazine?

*gulp*

Sun! There was blinding sun at the Jr. Rose Fest Parade today. Sooo many people squinting! :))

Hello! I have tripped into LJ land to see how things are going. Another good thing about summer is that I get to hang out with you and Miss Hannah! I give spring term a kiss goodbye and shove it roughly out the door. :) I will see you all soon and I hope the end of Hannah's school year goes well!

Week after next by my calculations, right? I hope so, because I have people scheduled for the 22nd at 10 and 11:30. I'll talk with you before then, you busy lady. I'm glad the term is over for you.
