Space Monkeys

[Spriggan]

Nicadymus your back!  Drop me an email with your phone # and i'll give you a call, (I could get it from John but I'm lazy).

Speaking of monkeys (I side-tracked this thread once already, so I might as well do it again...)

There's a new Barenaked Ladies song about monkeys.  Something about postcards.  It was fairly strange, but rather catchy.

Another postcard chimpanzeeee-eeeee
And every one is
addressed to meeeee-eeeee

Then it goes through a bunch of descriptions of chimps doing stuff, like being a mailman and construction worker and all that.

Very amusing song.

See. Monkeys. Funny. How long will it be to convince you of my statistics?

I was showing my wife how vanity searches work (no results at all for either her married OR maiden name that correspond to her, a lot of genealogy sites in German and Finnish though) and I did one on me, turning up, in part, this site:
http://www.locusmag.com/2003/Monitor/Magazines01.html
I got props from Locus and didn't even know it. So did GuJiaXian for that matter. Kinda cool.

Gujia has mentioned that to me before, actually, but it was cool to see the link.

I can't get myself from my real name, whch isn't unusual, since I never use my real name online. (It's bound to be there somewhere, probably on page 20 or so). The name JamPaladin, however, gets four results last time I checked. Two of me, which are logs for #BIGmog on irc (Which I can no longer connect to for whatever reason...not surprising with the death of BIGmog.com) the other two are some other guy with the same nick, who probably also has [email protected], since it was taken when I wanted to get it.

I don't mean to turn this discussion into one about TLE (although I don't think anyone would care), but did anyone else notice on that genre magazine listing that the only magazines to beat out TLE for price/page ratio were Analog, Asimov's, and SF&F? That's quite an impressive showing for a little student publication.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Yeah, It's impressive enough that it gets a listing on my resume. And I bring a copy when talking to people about jobs requiring writing and/or editing. ON the subject of giving props (with a subject like "Space Monkeys" you gotta change topics like dirty diapers), Brett Murrell of Duel of Ages just wrote to compliment/thank me for my review. It gave me a warm fuzzy, and I thought I'd share.

On the subject of job interviews (one of the twenty subjects we've dealt with so far in this thread), I had an interview this morning for a writing job and found out that the head writer was a big D&D fan. That certainly made things go smoothly.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

sweet. Can you get me on there? Can you imagine the evening "meetings" we'd hold?

[EUOL]

Where's the job?

[Fellfrosch]

Right by your house, actually, EUOL (well, relatively). It's the corner of 800 North and I-15.

Cool.  Makes it easy to go bug you.
