Heh - Tansy and I are playing tag-team in the zeroing at LSS blog. I see she has taken my philosophy that if she and Ben both rate a story as a 3, I'm not going to bother reading it, where she has replaced me for her. Which doesn't help when I am trying to winnow out as many shorts as I can and am now taking it down to the individual entry! I have 569 to go...

Ah! We're a man down! A man down! Send reinforcements!!! Ben's laptop died last night and I am quite worried now for his LSS fate. Also, he is the main person who knows what's going on in this project so ... I'm assuming that means if we can't find stuff, we're stuffed!! Send him good computery thoughts!

...hits that I got were Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head" - and we all know that didn't have "aya ya ya ya..." Until today. I finally hit the jackpot. And boy - when I found out, it's Ashlee Simpson's "Outta My Head", I almost wanted to take back the fact that it got stuck in my brain for a week. Ashlee Simpson giving me LSS?????? NEVER!!!! *shock!* Oh whatever. Who cares, right?

To Read Alisa: 623 Ben: 563 Tansy: 425 Alex: 691 Current total in Spreadsheet: 3572 LSS commentary. Ben is on a brief hiatus. The only race to win is to zero left to read, since Ben already wins on stories read in total. I found some zeroing but also have been reading a bit. I bet the other two found the power of 0! And it seems a total of 3 stories have mysteriously vanished from the total...

Getting gripping, no? I might have learned to zero yesterday. Truth is, I have 5 weeks till I care nothing about shorts in 2008 and turn focus to 2009. So much to read, so little time. To Read Alisa: 707 Ben: 563 Tansy: 537 Alex: 1038 Current total in Spreadsheet: 3575

So, supposedly, I can choose 175 shorts to read in the final days of LSS 2008. I managed to zero a bit last night but can't seem to get further than the tally below. The deal with myself, then, is to read 50 shorts today, tomorrow and Friday in order to not be zeroing a bunch of stuff. The tallies currently stand at: To Read Alisa: 626 Ben: 225 Tansy: 781 Alex: 867 Current total in Spreadsheet...
