I'm having the same thing, I'm a freshman in college and I'm in a Comix class (I'm reading Fun Home for the class right now!) and we have to do a 12 page comic by the end of the semester. I'm only doing rough drafts at the moment and I already feel zonked! That’s a dilema!

My would-be thesis advisor (I dropped out of gradual school twenty years ago) remarked that advances in word-processing technology didn't decrease the amount of time one spent creating a document; instead, they only made the amount of time you were already going to spend marginally more productive.

Very Cool that your b-days are so close together, and whomever chose the date (him, you, your doctor, the stork) gets extra points in my book for placing you in different months!! Suzanonymous, in my convoluted way, I was saying that if AB didn't want feedback, she wouldn't have posted her post. I intended no criticism at all of anyone who attempted to help her with her dilemma! A happy belated, Deena. and to your son, too.

Deena, Happy birthday and good wishes to you. I was just thinking...you know how people sometimes say of some people that they have their heads stuck up their, uhm, bottoms?? Or in the sand?? Sometimes it seems that some of us (lezzies, lezzie luhvahs, queers, friends and allies) have our heads stuck up our heads. Chriso,

It's absolutely beautiful; very Art Nouveau, and the coloring is stunning. And the pro-sex attitudes within don't hurt, either. Hang in there, Deena. I bought Lost Girls a few weeks ago.
