The Abridged Speculists

I'm fine with 10 pm, i guess. been staying up late anyway.

Well, we've successfully moved. It's beautiful here, except the part about no internet. My mother and grandfather use Keyway. They have dialup and DSL options, and there is a $9.95/mo deal going on until the end of June for Unlimited dialup. I'm hoping to be on the internet soon, but we have to update the budget (gah! health insurance is a rip-off down here), before we can commit. Being responsible if boring.

I've still got the library, but there is no IMing at the library, which means that I'll need to post responses to submissions on the board. Stacer, are you looking for any more feedback on your latest chapter?

[stacer]

Any feedback you have would be great. It's a short chapter, so I realize there isn't much. I can start a thread for it, or you could just email me any comments you might have, which would probably be better since everyone else has already commented.

[Mistress of Darkness]

Okay, will do. I'll try to get it to you before next week.

I know, I know, Chapter 5 isn't out yet. I am actually having a lot of trouble with it. I've got this one scene I feel I need, but the way it is right now is simply WRONG. It's trite and after-school special-ish. Ick. And I still need to write the scene in which she leaves home, which actually won't be too hard, I think. I just need to do it. I'll try to get it done on my lunch break or right when I get home. But that means I won't get my review done by today, SE. I will have it by Friday, though. I decided to review The Best War Ever after all, because as I was flipping through it I realized I never actually read it when I was supposed to for History 121.   It's a good one.

Is tonight too late for you guys to get the chapter?

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

well, it's not like we have anything else. Tonight's fine by me. We can just do that for group this week.

Guys, I'm not going to be able to make it this week. My long-awaited chance to learn to play Settlers has arrived, and it's on Wed. night. We start at 7:30 over at his house, so there's no way I'll be home by 9, or even 10. If we wanted to reschedule for another night for just this week, that's a possibility (Thursday or later), but otherwise I'll just go back to regular schedule next week. Sorry about that.

hum.... Thursday is bad. I have priesthood leadership meeting. Friday is never good, it's date night. saturday morning possibly.

[stacer]

Saturday morning is a possibility. Afternoon is bad, as is evening.

I don't think this is happening again. JP has a job interview, and that leaves just me and Stacer, unless Kije or someone else wants to show up.

[stacer]

I've been meaning to ask--Now that it's summer, would another night work better for some people? I find I'm having a lot of Wed. night things, and my Tues. night tutoring is over now that the kids are out of school. So Tues. nights are available if necessary.

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

either's good for me. Thursday works too

[Entsuropi]

Neither is good for me, but I don't really count.

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

no one commented on this. So what day are we doing group now?

[stacer]

How is MoD's internet access lately?

I'd say let's go ahead with Wed. for this week, since we haven't talked fully about changing it.

I vote for Tuesday nights at 9pm EST. That's the most free night I have now that tutoring is done.
