lol, I love modern medication.

my doctor gave me some stuff that foams up. but it doesn't foam.

Also, it's really hard to use topical stuff on the backs of my knees. I'd rather have a steroid pill.

Careful of steroids, though. They do funny things to your immune system. I had to use a topical steroid cream on my eyes when I went to BYU (you might recall my face looking like a burn victim's at times?), and now I have permanent dark circles because it thinned the skin.

well, the doctor told me to use it sparingly, and to only put it on the actual rash, not the surrounding skin. But this stuff doesn't rub in, and it runs, so it's really hard.

ok, here's the deal sparky.

I have one article for this week. That's it. I'm trying to get a few done, but I need more.

Also, I'm going on vacation next saturday and I'll be gone for the whole next week. so someone else is going to have to post content and try and squeeze it out of you folks. It'd be nice if we had a few articles before I left

I'll try and get you a book or eva review tomorrow. I should be able to, depending on what happens with this RPG I'm supposed to be playing.

I'll be leaving for a week next week too. I will be upset if I come back and find flame wars all over the forum. Or someone starting a cool thread without me being able to join in.

I've got several articles that i've been meaning to do but just haven't felt like it.  I could probaly provide content for every day next week.  Also don't forget that the 28th is the theme day so that should help out for when you get back from vacation.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

I've had the flu for several days now, and haven't been up to writing a review. I did finish Weasel's Luck yesterday, however, so when I feel up to it, I'll submit.

Ok so I'm working 5 days straight this week so I'm going to do one article a day starting tomorrow (ie I don't work tonight) I can either just keep all of those for next week or we can have some of them for this week and some for next.  Also SE, I can get Tage to post articles next week, he's very good about doing it if you IM him each day with wich article to post.

k, good.

Now, there'll be a number already "approved," incidentally. In fact, I'll try to make sure that everything we have is edited and approved for Mod only viewing, so that they just need to be blurbed and set to viewable by all.

/me shall take over the forum next week
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 :)

we're editing that. I haven't heard from the author on the revision. when I get a moment, like more than 2 minutes between calls, I'll do what I can.

school's out and I now have much more free time, so I could start writing articles.  Are you looking for articles on anything specific or may I just write about whatever I want...?

game/movie/entertainment related stuff. reviews are good. But so are other articles, game reports, etc.

stuff like we've published before

just know, I dont' instantly publish anything I see. If it's not up to snuff but shows potential though, we'll ask for re-writing.

Oh, I understand that.  I was just wondering if I should review, ya know, actual stuff or if reviewing sites and online games would do or what.  I mean, I am not partial to either I was just wondering what you prefered.  I think I will throw something together sometime soon for you.
