Tokyopop hiring freelance copy editor

[Peter Ahlstrom]

did you mention me?

Inchoate is indeed a good word.

I also like specious as a word.

Spectrophotometer and tristimulus colorimeter are just a touch pompous though.

I like pulchritude, but pulchritudinous is a bit much. I suppose it depends on the situation, though.

I graded four proficiency tests from 4th graders that used the word pulchritudinous, this April.  I can only conclude that they were all in the same class and had good memories.  They all used it correctly, too.  And most of them were close on spelling.

see, pulchritudinous is one of those words that to me sounds like it has a meaning opposite of what it actually means. It's just too ugly a word to mean beautiful.

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

so it's an ironic word.

Peter, will Tokyopop have a booth this week?

[Peter Ahlstrom]

No. TOKYOPOP does lots of cons, but I doubt Worldcon is even on their radar.

If I'm still around in 2006 when it comes to Anaheim, I'll work on convincing them.

2006? Cool, that's something to look forward to, assuming that we're still here then.

2005:  Scotland.

Start saving up.

Boy do I wish.
