Eric: Summer Session done et mah brain!
Hey gang!
So, after all that buildup, and after several days of essays that I charitably think don't suck... I proceeded to have work hit me over the head with several blunt objects, to prepare for multiple summer sessions -- more than one of which decided to sit on their information until, oh, a day and a half before the session started.
On the plus side, I just met a Deputy Ambassador from a pacific rim nation. He was startlingly polite and humble. I was as helpful as possible. I mean, sure. This is a nation we've had peaceful relations with for centuries, but you never know what straw will break that camel's back. I can safely say we will not go to war because of me.
Er, today.

Fine work, Representative Burns. I will sleep easier at night knowing that your fine linguistic talents are helping to preserve the humble efforts of webtoonists everywhere!

Would that make Eric a cunning linguist?

Any man who is skilled in one is most certainly skilled in the other.

Oh, sure, blame *me* for the impending war instead. I see how it is.
Oh, wait, did you say *Pacific* rim? Oh, my mistake, totally different international incident. Nevermind...

I guessing either Australia or New Zealand, although they didn't exist "for centuries".

Pacific Rim, home of the original Ring of Fire and El Niño! Where Sir Raleigh died and "Mr. Christian" still mutinies over breadfruit. Now, who wants some strawberry pocky!

...funny, I would've thought he was more of a master debater myself...

That was below the belt.

Grev: Must they be mutually exclusive?

Well, it was awesome to have some fresh essays from you to mull over - good writting. I'll be looking forward to when work stops sucking long enough to let you write some more!

I'm just amazed Eric didn't point us all to the now-free Narbonic as some sort of distraction while we wait for his return.

man, summer session has a habit of doing that. my brain is fried after 6 weeks of classes. (note to self: don't take a photo class and a lab science all in the same semester, along with 20 hours of work a week.)
