So, I just officially moved home, diploma and four suitcases in hand. My diploma's all in Latin... but I understand at least one phrase, "summa cum laude."

Pretty sure I'm going to get sick soon. Screaming babies on plane, Northwest Airlines is an inefficient bureaucracy, I keep misspelling inefficient. Apparently the cat is getting arthritis and my cousin has narcolepsy, and Nebraska's new awfully-designed license plates are causing a big local tiff.

And the real purpose of this post is to mention that my good old "Intertropical Convergence Zone" is a finalist for storySouth's Million Writers Award. "Intertropical Convergence Zone" promises to uphold traditional values and keep our nation safe, so go read it and vote for it! For a better America!

Yes, you do. Steve is rooting for you to get published too (as in, in addition to me).

LOL. What's ironic is I only told AC like, two days ago that I wrote fiction in addition to poli sci papers. I was like, "I write horror," and he said, "Cool."

Yeah, somehow we ended up talking about that the night before I left...but I'd mentioned it to him before. He always seems strangely anxious about the need to get published. Maybe his own issues, or just making conversation. Idk.
