another clever title here

Things going OK I guess. I surfed a bit, just now, while in search of winding down from teaching tonight. Sigh. Now I'm all despressed about what other writers are doing. Should never have looked. Bed now.

Well, that should cheer you up: I had to typeset a whole book in -- the horror, the horror! -- MS Word because German academic publishing houses apparently just copy the manuscripts they're given (or at leas that's cheapest for the authors/editors). So I spent two days (during which I didn't have time to write one single line! Ack!) doing battle with Word and trying to make it hold on to the correct formatting. And then I crushed my finger in the swinging window at my office. Charming. *g*

So don't be depressed, and have a nice weekend instead! :O)
Word is umm, a very bad word. Bummer about your finger, Sandy. I'm a writer, I can't help but be frequently depressed. You should know that twice as much as I do because you write in two languages. Does that make you twice as neurotic? You seemed so normal when I met you...
Actually, I worry more than I'm depressed -- but I worry A LOT! And when I'm depressed I burst into tears. And the seeming normal part, that was, of course, just a pretense. *ggg*
