Posted on entry Voting-and-nervous-energy thread ::: November 04, 2008, 11:57 AM:
I voted this morning on my way into work in the solitary polling place in my dinky little western MA town. Ten minutes in and out: paper ballots, and I wasn't asked to show ID. There were a fair number of people coming in and out (for a town my size) but everything seemed to be running smoothly.

Now I'm sitting at my desk and I keep wanting to just sort of stand up and wildly wave my hands in the air and shout "Aaaaaaaarrrrgggh!" to try to burn off all this horrible, frenetic energy, but it would probably only spook the minions.

Whoops, you said editors, not agents. Still, that's a good place to start.

Hey, so what time and where do we tune in for the big sekrit news? Will it involve ninjas? Wizards? Ninja wizards?

Teresa taking over the world with ninjas would make monday an infinitely more bearable day.

#425: I'm strongly tempted, since this is right in the middle of my neck of the woods, but I don't know yet if I'll be able to make it.

In my early 20s I spent a summer living in a castle in France studying art, and for all of us 21 students they provided us in the kitchen: 2) spoons, 1) bent knife, and 1) pot with a nearly-spherical concave bottom.

Within a day or so we'd located the nearest grocery store, and we students brought back a number of things of various utility, from a new pot, assorted food that didn't require cooking, some plastic cutlery, and a spear gun which two of our male students wandered off with while drunk. For myself I bought a set of Tintin silverware, and I still have it and treasure it to this day.

Happy birthday, Jim!

Had I known it was so near, I would have saved you an igor bar at Boskone...

Skwid (#11): As near as I can tell, the only legitimate use of the blink tag is when demonstrating why you should never use the blink tag.

Personally, I find it absolutely galling that this whole mooninite thing was blown so far out of proportion with sanity or reason, and yet there is no sign whatsoever of homeland security going after people who use the "blink" tag on their web pages. Now those are *real* terrorists.

11 Tips On How To Live, Supported By Your Liver:

1) If your liver decides to become a writer, make sure it keeps its day job. And beware of bad writer advice, particularly from spleens.
2) Many livers, if they catch you drinking, will throw you out on your a**. The best tactic is to lie: "But it wasn't really a beer! It was just bad lemonade!"
3) When falling from an airplane, careful cutting and folding can turn your liver into a handy meat parachute. Be sure to face it membrane-side down, for reasons of cleanliness.
4) Although livers float, they do attract sharks. If you are in open water with sharks about, it is far better to float on your skull, which, being full of air, should also bob quite nicely.
5) When your liver fails to be supportive of your own aspirations, remind it that your pancreas has been much nicer to you, and is better looking and younger.
6) Livers are not wide enough, on their own, to replace missing planks in the rope bridge that the cannibals are chasing you across. But they are very stretchy, and if sufficiently molded and hardened in advance they will hold you up for the few minutes necessary to complete your crossing.
7) When going out on a first date, be sure to show your liver off, and list its accomplishments and credentials (make some up, if need be). Girls are impressed by a man who knows his own organs.
8)...

That's as far as I can get.
