If I don't ruin my life by getting into a PhD program, I'm definitely moving out to [undisclosed location] to work where you work.

What, you wouldn't help a brother out with a job?

Ah, I meant, "should I be wishing you luck in getting into a PhD program?"

I'm trying to cultivate "ironic distance" from my fate.

Here is another good book, without the fancy linky thing:

Another good book, especially if your copy, as does mine, has a cover illustration by Edward Gorey.

Tripp, like this, and you'll never go back:

<a href="http://www.linkedsite.com">highlighted linked text</a>

You do need the quotation marks around the address. Go ahead and try it in this thread, I'll delete it if you screw up.

On a much lighter note, this is one of the funniest books I have ever read and while the rest of his books don't quite measure up to it, they are all quick, very enjoyable reads.

I need this book, apostropher, if only because of this line from Jesus: "Henceforth and from now on, I decree that whenever something bad happens to me, there shall be bunnies around."
