Currently Reading A Moveable Feast By Ernest Hemingway see related

Hemingway--not one of my favorite authors, to say the least.  I made it through six years of college without him, and now, two classes short of graduating, I am taking a whole course about him and other expatriates.  We'll see how that goes.  I guess my other class, Milton, will probably balance Ernest, or Tatie, as his wife used to call him.

Well, at least Ricky and I were able to frequent Ruston's own movie theater and watched Nacho Libre.  An extremely welcome break from all the intellectualizing critics I have been dealing with in my thesis research.

And somebody please tell me why formatting a paper has to give the author almost as big of a headache as writing the thing in the first place?  All of a sudden I had fifteen Page 1s, Page 2 had a huge gap in it because the margins had to be changed, tabs were put in places they had no business to be in, etc., etc., etc.  I don't know how long I had to wrestle with page numbers, margins, etc., until it finally came close to looking what the Graduate School required.  Is it because I  just don't know what I'm doing, or have the Microsoft Word people not figured out a way yet to make formatting a little more user-friendly?
