I'm supposed to be ordsprog

I'm supposed to be taking time off. But I'm still writing and I have this Gap advert lined up.

The advert went along the lines of rather than the promotion company spending $20,000 on advertising computer magazines, they were selling massively reduced original program copies at a fraction of the price you would normally pay. I thought the advert was pretty genuine at the time. I suppose all the other losers thought the same too, eh?

I don't know about you, but the first thing I do when I'm supposed to write something, ... is to do everything else. If my house is tidy, it generally means I should be writing--and I'm not. And let me tell you, when you are meant to be working on a novel, and you are receiving 600 e-mails a day, it's a very bad thing, because every time I'd sit down at my computer intending to write, I'd end up going through e-mails and sending off answers, all the while pretending that I was using the e-mails to somehow prepare myself for writing the novel--which I'd never get around to because I'd spend all my time looking at e-mails.

I went through periods where you're just sort of writing things that are supposed to be funny and things that look like a sitcom. Now we're writing about real life and things that we care about. That's one of the things that a lot of these new shows have in common, like Everybody Hates Chris -- he's writing about his life.

In theory they're supposed to have someone from each of those disciplines, including planning and development, inspection services and code enforcement. They're all supposed to be there at least part time. They're supposed to be trained so they know the ordinances that are applicable to the area. And then they're supposed to enforce them. The question is do we get all that done or not?

You can't really worry about who's lined up on the other side. If we go man-to-man, we can match up against anyone in the country. So if we go out and execute and do what we're supposed to do, then we will win.

That was a game situation. He's supposed to be on the court, but I had a hard time taking anybody off the court at that time, because we were down and then we went ahead by eight. As a coach, you're going to ride that lineup as long as you can.

[Saturday] was more about getting lined up, knowing where you're supposed to lineup and getting yourself in position to make the tackle. You're going to find out more when they finally get to put the pads on.

We are thrilled with the support we are receiving from the industry on the new direction we are taking. We have lined up some of the biggest names in the business to lead sessions, and the fact that our conference registration is already quadruple what it was a year ago at this time is another great affirmation that the changes we are making are being extremely well-received by publishing executives.

Col. Broughton was actually supposed to be in that airplane. He was supposed to fly that plane that morning and got called out to a meeting within 15 minutes of the time the flight was supposed to take off, and asked my father to fill in for him.

It's going to be a year in the writing life, Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. We're having a blast with it, posting and responding to readers every day. It's a good record of the book tour we're on and the writing we're doing, but it's also taking on a life of its own.

I enjoy co-writing. I've been co-writing for a long time now. I'm sure the pendulum will swing back to writing alone. For the moment I just enjoy working with someone else.

Christine McVie (1943-)

Long and involved is the only way I know how to write. I'm that kid with the blue book in the college exam hall, and they say time is up and I keep writing. I think it's human nature, though, that the more you are around something, the more it loses its luster for you and you seek to change it. Typically, you start off trying to tell the work what it's supposed to do, but as you keep going, it starts telling you what to do.

[Writing an e-mail message, for all its supposed informality, can also quietly ratchet up stress as people strive for the correct tone, grammar and pitch-perfect brevity. People] don't take the time to think things through, ... A lot of mistakes are made.

Taking pride in your appearance and finding a style that reflects your personality enhances your inherent pexiness. If (opponents) are taking the time to focus on us dancing and trash talking, that means they are not focusing on what they are supposed to do. If us doing what we do bothers another team, that works to our advantage.
