Yay Julez!!! Fantastic!

Wish I could join in on the chat tomorrow too but I am Vegas-bound.

You're choosing Vegas over a chat with Aly and myself??

Depends on what time you're chatting -- we're heading out at 7pm LA time, so maybe I can join in for a bit. No wine for me though as I have to drive for 2 hours!

Sounds good to me - you pick a time - I'll be around as Jeremy leaves for work at 3pm so whenever is good for you If anyone else wants to chat as well then we can use the chatroom on my website or the one on VJ (I've never tried the VJ one - what's it like?!?!!)

What about 3.30pm your time, which is 6.30pm my time? If anyone else wants to join but can only make a different time then I can change with no problem, as long as it's not past my bedtime. I don't mind where we chat and I've never used the VJ one so no idea what it's like.

Sounds good to me!! Jeremy will have left for work so I can start on the wine early I'll prolly pass out by 7pm Just in time for Maven to head to Vegas!!!

I would join your chat, but tomorrow we're going to a concert.

Just found out the accepted my counteroffer!!! Woooohoooo!!!!!

Gettin' rid of the albatross!!!

That is great news Julez!! I know you have had so much stress with the move so now at last things can move forward again!! Yay!! :dance:

Ok - if you want to meet us then let's give my chatroom thing a go - if it mucks up too much then we can try the VJ one? Just go to http://www.jeraly.com/ and click on the chat link on the left - you don't have to register or anything just put in a username (no password) and you can just pop straight in

Excellent! I shall meet you at 3.30pm your time in the chat room on your website. Hopefully a few others will be able to join us too - including Maven.

Yay!! I'll go mention it in the July thread as well in case anyone else fancies joining us

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

congrats on the offer Julez - must be such a relief in this market

Muffin - hope the move/transition goes smoothly

maven - looks like we will be going NEXT weekend. Be sure to check the sigalert before heading out - Friday night traffic between here and the I-15 interchange can be a real killer. You gonna stay at the Golden Nugget? Be sure to have one of those footballed sized/shaped cocktails for me.

Ta, Robin. We were thinking about leaving around 7-8pm -- I think our route is something like the 134 to the 210 to the 15. But I will check the sigalert before going.

Not sure where we're staying yet -- our friend is a high-roller and is trying to bag us an extra comped room at the Pink Flamingo.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

you are doing the right route! the 10 is to be avoided at all cost.

DEATH TO WRITER'S BLOCK!!!

I am trying everything to cure it. I am wearing my bridal tiara right now in some weird misguided belief that it might channel actual *thoughts* into my brain.

I am serious.

Now I like you more than I did before.

Writer's block does indeed suck... I take Creative Writing at university (alongside Psych) and sometimes when I have a deadline looming over, I find it hard to write something decent.

I usually try to come back to it after a break. The more I struggle, the less chance that I'll find that hook!

Oh dear!! But sometimes crazy things give us inspiration, right?? I am sure, as last time you will be able to pull something amazing out of the bag that will earn you adoration from fellow academics everywhere

Whoo! Congratulations on the house sale, Julez!

Jeraly & EnglishMuffin: I'll try to join you in chat tomorrow. May not be able to, though, because my husband will be home. I'm always free on Monday nights, though!

For all those going to Vegas: Stay safe and have fun! And remember.... when you win, walk away.

[Jeraly 4]

Aww Jeremy is off on Mondays Friday is still good though, right? Will keep fingers crossed you can make it Krikit
