Ah the things you remember when you're sitting at home... doing nothing... having the day off.

Yup, I have a 4-day weekend ahead of me. Gotta love summer hours.

(Course, I'm having people over tonight, so I have to get off my butt and clean the house. But I just thought I'd rub it in.  ;D)

Well I have a few months off.  Just thought I'd rub it in... ;D

I don't really understand why everyone is making mental images of everyone else... I just use the avatar as any physical image I might need...

Yes, but that's different. We all got months off when we were kids, though some of us did have to work for a living even then. But working a summer job as a kid is freedom compared to being a working adult. So you grab a day off when it comes along.

Actually, its more a modify the avatar sort of thing.

And yes, yes i do regard you as a monkey SE. A melted chocolate coloured one.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Well I guess the notes I've been putting in my posts about being off-topic are looking pretty silly now.  :D

Well, I'll make another attempt at dragging things back.

Prometheus: Just give the manuscript to my brother.  He and I will be going to a friend's wedding reception tonight, and I can get it from him then.

42:  lol.  Sorry.  I didn't realize that there weren't page numbers on the manuscript until after I'd printed a good section of it.  Things were a bit confusing, since I was printing during the big Heroclix brawl.  I hope you got things sorted out!

The page #s on The Way of Kings are messed up too, but that's just a numbering issue I think---sometimes it makes huge leaps. The story seems to be in order.

That's explained in the introduction, I think.  I've replaced a few KINGS chapters since I printed that first version.  (The explanation might be in the intro to book two.)

42: If you could get it to Brenna so she can read it before she moves, that would be wonderful.  If not, I'll be back on Saturday, and you can give it to me then.  Thanks!

So if I brought Mistborn by TLE tonight would Brenna or Fuzzy be there to pick it up? 42 thinks to himself.
