OPEN BAR: It's actually about ethics in fictional bars

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

FWIW the practice test struck me as almost absurdly easy, particularly the essay component, and I think there's a strong argument to be made for the likelihood that years of reading, writing, and analyzing arguments on PD has been better prep than anything I could possibly pay for.

That's just one of the many services we provide.

I have started waking up gripped with The Fear.

It has to be possible to get through this term, without sacrificing my GPA, AND get a decent score on the GRE.

NOPE.  Already told you why.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

That's because I can't read.

That's OK. At least now I know why I was so confused by your response.

a long time ago, my friends and i would say "i have The Fear" as a euphemism for "i have to go take a shit"

LDW update:

Just added another 5000 words.  I expect to be done with the story by Wednesday, after only 3 years of fucking around with it.  It's worth noting that all the same characters are in it, with some new additions, but by necessity, no characters dominate the book (you'll understand why when you read it), at least for the first half.

Patience Gonzales, the woman who did the cover for book two, will be doing this cover as well.  She refuses to tell me exactly what she's doing, but I expect great things.

ECH, Kalera, LMNO, and Patience get a free copy, everyone else will be able to obtain it for the low, low price of $2.99 (that's 368 Yen or 2 Pounds for those of you in tiny foreign island nations).  The final product will be be somewhere around 25000 words, so not to steep of a price.

Seems like someone took the rocket for a spin.  Wow.  There's this awesome electric blue halo in the sky from a boost it did - so cool.  Did that just happen?

Rotting meat in the office kitchen hype.

So, I made a mistake today, and looked inside the office fridge.  Living off a diet of soups and sugar free red bull as I do, I rarely need to look in there, but I wanted to keep some drinks cold for later.

I found things older than humanity in there.  Things that possibly expired before this Universe came into being.  If Lovecraft wrote about a fridge capable of reducing people to gibbering wrecks, it would not be dissimilar to this one.

So, I did what any sensible person would, and killed it all with fire and extreme prejudice.

I saw things that were fluffy in there.  Things that shouldn't be fluffy, but were.

And that's why I had to desist from ordering Chinese delivery.

I saw things that were fluffy in there.  Things that shouldn't be fluffy, but were.

Reminds me of when I hit puberty.
