Various and Sundry


I haven't posted in forever it seems. I told [livejournal.com profile] ruralstar that it isn't merely because I don't have a lot of time. Let's face it, I can always find the time for a few words here and there. I think it is more to do with the fact that all I do these days is write, write, write. I am sick to the teeth of papers. My weekly assignments end up being 10-15 pages and then there is the discussion board postings and responses. I haven't even touched on the clinical portion which also has written assignments. Fortunately, that instructor lives in the real world and everything doesn't have to be a thesis! I finished the big case study draft today so I have spent the past two days glued to the computer, trying to finish it. I wanted to submit a draft because this particular instructor grades pretty harshly AND she is an APA guru.

So, since I am sick of writing, I thought I'd make some brief comments regarding several subjects.

Dragoncon...yay! Guest list shaping up

Burn notice I'm beginning to really like you. No spoilers please. I'm only on ep #7

Daphne!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo, Hiro and Ando, you always make me laugh! Frozen smashed to bits Tracy...that blink was really creepy.

Sawyer, you've come a long way. Love the glasses. Now don't play games with Jack.

New Red Dwarf coming....I wonder when I'll actually get to see it?

I still love Ender Wiggin!

When HGTV and Doctor Who collide: The other day a real estate agent was remarking about how a house seemed bigger on the inside than it did on the outside. Her words were "It's rather Tardis like".  After seeing John Barrowman in a show about castles, methinks something is up with that! LOL

Yay for friends visiting. [livejournal.com profile] ruralstar , it's only  a few weeks now.....

Since you've been having to do too much writing already, maybe you should make one of those "talk" posts to LJ! Have you seen those? They were all the rage a couple of years ago. I think you can phone in a post!

LOL..that would work except that I hate talking on the phone. (Some people just cannot be pleased, it seems) ;-)

When you have to do a lot of writing, it makes sense you wouldn't want to when you get some time to yourself. Hang in there - this semester won't last forever.

And yes, Burn Notice is quite addictive. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I am loving Burn Notice more and more! I keep telling myself, one more month!

If you're really having trouble with APA try out: http://www.easybib.com/
It does the formatting for you, but unfortunately APA is not free (MLA is!)

Funny about Who on HGTV. Did I tell you I dropped my phone and broke my Tardis charm? :-(

I can't wait for summer for you. Will you have time for lunch of something anytime soon? Perhaps while Ruralstar is here?

Well, I already have a pretty good formatting program but she finds mistakes with them sometimes...LOL.

Awww..that is so sad regarding your charm.

I will have time for lunch when RS is here and then after May 1st. It has been awhile since we had a viewing party.
