My friend Bethany and I never saw eye-to-eye on cleaning. She was unbelievably thorough. When I said "clean house," I meant throw out garbage, put things away, tidy up all the clutter. When Bethany "cleaned" it meant crack all the windows and break out the gloves and paper masks because the house would soon be filled with the pungent odor of disinfectant.

If you have not yet done so, remember to vote for the Drunk Duck Awards. (Lots of fun award categories this year!)

blntmaker: I taught biology labs when I was in graduate school. That was fun and good pay but only for graduate students in the program. – Used Books really is just a heart-warning story about friendship. ^_~

n_y_japlander: Lol. Technically, I never "fooled" anyone. We already knew she was replacing an actress for a mock murder. No real twists.

BetaJess: OMG! YOU AND AMANDA MUST BOTH VACATE MY HEAD POST HASTE!

patrick: The knife's not big enough. ;-)

Peipei: Yuki is a bit much, always over the top.

amanda: Creepy… Actually, Detective Conan contains a number of "masters of disguise" including a thief who once dressed up as the main heroine. I actually regret not having any in my story (um, yet? It is a fun convention…).

trevor: I have to keep you on your toes by occasionally letting the harmless fun be harmless fun. ;-)

JustNoPoint: It predates Off Hours by at least five months. However, I failed to mention that my unmarked surveillance van doubles as a time machine. XD – I always use round tables. I used them in the cafe during the Christmas chapter, on Kaida's date in a fancy restaurant, in future chapters too… Actually, I think I may have been the one to suggest them in OH.
