And I thought, hey, I know Sam! Proving that the Internet is slowly creeping into the real world and some day it will be everywhereI've become lazy, though, and totally ( Read more... )

The NaNo homepage is, indeed, running like a gouty rhinoceros. What the hell. I just want to upload my user pic! Let me in! *hammers at the door, looks sad*

So, because I'm an idiot, I forgot to put on sunscreen before going out yesterday. Then I went to sit on the steps of the VPL for two hours in the full sun.
