Everything is sent, plus a plug
I uploaded my FA manuscript, and I emailed the copyright form to the journal -- all yesterday morning, on 09/09/09. Gotta have some luck in that.
Now I move on to more analysis of data I have, I sit down with our departmental animal development guru for developing a staining protocol for my fish, I sit down with our departmental statistics guru (yay, we finally have one!) and figure out how to analyze some other data I have, and I get started on my fellowship app, my grant app, and my SETAC poster.
I'm going to go finish reading The Summer Tree, and I'll flip through my friend Marrus's new book that just arrived in the mail today. Marrus is a one-of-a-kind woman who lives life on her own terms and is obviously comfortable in her own skin, and Lightsurfing is partly about how she got to be that way. She's a fabulously talented artist (see her latest painting) who doesn't receive nearly enough recognition or money. Please, support her talent by purchasing her book here.

No, I did not get a free book for typing that. I paid the $33.95 -- but the butt balloons Marrus drew next to her inscription to me were free. I love my friends! ::grin::

The time has finally come
I think I've finished all my formatting on my research review. All I have to do is write the cover letter, then I can get this opus submitted for review and hopefully acceptance into Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. I'm going to try to submit it tonight. Any prayers/well-wishes/candles lit/etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Appreciative
My friend Lynlee sent me a link tonight to Rate My Professor. She had been looking around on the site and came across two ratings of my brother from when he tutored at the English department's Writing Center.
with the lone exception of driving home from a blue oyster cult reunion concert in the rain while the troubled young girl you met at the show sleeps it off in your lap, there's nothing better than a tutorial from paul allenbauch, whose sustained grammatical brilliance even rivals the rockingness of the post-solo feedback in "don't fear the reaper."
And the second, who seemed to really know P:
Paul is the heart and soul of not only matters in english but of humanity as well. He brings it like the hammer of Thor reigning oer the lands thirsting for his unbridled and unmatched brilliance.Dig deep my friends for he may break waves upon the proverbial rocks of your soul but the cool spray will leave you wanting the rainbow left in its mist
All spelling and grammatical errors are the students' own. :-)
I smiled when I read these. I was glad to see there were two people willing to put their appreciation of P's help out there on the Internet. My brother was the self-professed "grammar god" of the writing center, and he loved teaching students about the intricacies of punctuation, verb tense, a good introductory paragraph, and writing an essay that actually addressed the assignment even as he threatened to phrenologize the occasional student for bad comma placement.
I miss him and his empty threats.

Random Thoughts When the Rain Makes Me Sleeeeeeeeeeeepy
"When cemeteries fail" sounds like a great title to a cheesy zombie story.

Yeah yeah yeah
I know it's been a bit since I blogged, but after I get home this weekend, I'll try to take time to catch you up on the last ten weeks or so. I've just been quite busy despite depression and health issues.
So, I'll be in KS in time for supper on Saturday, and I will be around until July 29. There are pals I'm hoping to see, and you know who you are (especially you four -- Mouse, Psi, 'wela, Lachlan -- who I have not seen since P's funeral). So much to do this trip:
-- get my stupid blood under control
-- finish one manuscript, start two others
-- hang out with my peeps and hug 'em all (especially the 6-month-old nephew) 'til their eyes bug out
-- read a s*** ton of research articles
-- see HP and the Half-Blood Prince
-- get some things fixed on my chair
-- fun, novel-type reading
-- maybe talk Rolando into going to the zoo, especially the one near my house
-- do my yearlies with the cardiologist, the neurologist, the pulmonologist, and the urologist
For now, more library research. 'Night!
