someone poke me with a stick and wake me up

[cornerofmadness]

What a day. I had meetings from 1230 to 9 pm (well the 7-9 meeting was a nano one but it's an hour's drive to get there). Curriculum meetings, school accreditation meetings, meeting our new president (who is a Trekkie and has been in Nimoy's home so I'm now actually curious about her)

Then I run to Athens for the nano write up. Well I must have gotten there first since no one was where I thought they were going to be in teh Baker center. I go through all five floors two and a half times before finally finding someone. She says it's on the bottoms floor which is what I thought. I must have been in the right spot but there was nobody and my second time down there I didn't go all the way back and I should have.

I was cussing up a storm by the time I found someone and swore in front of their kid (must apologize) I think that my first clue this was a bad idea. thanks to my meetings running late I hadn't had anything to eat and my sugar is off. i get mean like that when my sugar is bad. I ended up bailing after a half hour because of it. I HAD to eat. By then I was dizzy cranky and shaking. And my head was killing me.

I wanted to go to Casa Nuevos but it was packed to the gills and I was in NO mood to wait. The same goes for Salaam (Moroccan) so I head to the commerical side of state street since I know there'll be no waiting and I wanted to try Abrio's Brick Oven anyhow. I ended up with mushroom laden french onion soup and a mediterreanan pizza, peppercorn paramesan sauce with feta and romano cheese, spinach, onions and kalamata olives. Salt Heaven. LOVES. I just made the hours drive back home.

But it was no all a loss there were some funnies today.

I was teaching the class about Hook Worms and how they make you mentally dull and lazy and hunger for dirt (and gave the south the reputation of being dumb lazy rednecks in part, sorry South). So I said 'if you feel yourself getting lazier and dumber you might have hook worms.' One student looks at me and says 'Judging my monday's test i must have a gut full.'


And then at the Nano meet up.

Me - You all live in Athens where can I find food late after the meeting (at this point I had hope i could stay)

Shoeless - Wendy is always open late

Me - No, I said 'food.'

Shoeless - I'm a college student. Wendy's IS food.


HELP PLEASE

I need to turn in a dumb author's bio (okay it's supposed to be smart....) for one of my stories. How does this sound? It's the one I used for the other anthology but i'm not sure i like it



Jana Denardo wears many hats, taking her all over the United States and beyond. Much of her travels makes its way into her stories. Fantasy, Science Fiction and Mystery have been her favorite genres since she started reading and often flavor her works. In her secret identity, she works with the science of life. When she’s not chained to her computer writing, she functions as stray cat magnet. She’s also learning that the road to enlightenment is filled with boulders she keeps falling over and that the words gardening and Zen don’t go together no matter what anyone says.

"Much of her travels makes its way" needs to be fixed grammatically, but otherwise, it's fine.

I didn't think you were all that grumpy, but it's good you left before something ended and the yelling started. Our only defense in the end was to start yelling ourselves.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's the sentence that is bugging me yes. There's something wrong with that.

There was yelling? Yeah I really had to go before someone was calling 911 for me

[tehlobster.livejournal.com]

"her travels make their way" is more grammatically correct, I think. I'm sure you caught that already, though.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that helps

I like your author's bio. But I'm groggy and achey and probably not the best person to ask.

*Giggles* at Wendy's and Hookworms.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Wendy's and hookworms probably go together.

I'll wait to see other opinions on my bio but i think you liked it last time too.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I think I did, too.

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

Hook worms? So THAT'S what's been wrong with me all these years. Lol at the biol. I like it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. that helps

yep, you probably have a hookworm :-)

[mulzrule.livejournal.com]

Or several dozen. :D

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I like the bio. And Wendy's isn't even close to food.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you

and no kidding. And Wendy's is the burger place Ilike best out of the three. I might consider eating something there. Maybe. If I were desparate
