DIARY
– YESTERDAY – Full. Work. Then, a four-person panel on how to get published… it was useful and their anecdotes were especially useful and interesting. They constantly reiterated politeness and professionalism, however, which was a little frustrating, first because I can learn that from any book on getting published from Borders, and second because if people aren’t going to understand that after being told once or twice, the third, fourth, and fifth mentions aren’t going to be of much use. The prospects of publishing are generally discouraging, but not overwhelmingly so. After this, workshop. We had a rousing discussion of pieces by Jesse, Shelley, and Andrew. Very strong this time around. I went home, flirted with a late night, but decided to go to bed. (Because I’m tired all the time now…)
– WEATHER – The jet stream is a big ‘W’ across the country this week, meaning up to a foot of rain in California, continuing thunderstorms (ie. more tornadoes) over the great plains, and a cold surge over the Eastern midwest and East coast. In fact, AccuWeather’s groaning about how some parts of northern Michigan and northwest New York will experience wind chills in the twenties. That’s right, wind chills… meaning the actual temperatures are actually in the thirties and above. Oh, boo hoo. Cry me a freakin’ river.
– APRIL – Is the month of Alcohol awareness.
– HAPPY BIRTHDAY – Muddy Waters and Dorothea Dix.

QUESTION OF THE DAY
If it was to be the same temperature outside, all of the time, everywhere, what temperature would you choose? If you wish, you may quibble about Physics, though you are not required to do so.
