I've been quiet recently, for a variety of reasons. RL is quite busy with the end of the school year, the end of some projects I've been a part of, and the end of the repair work on our house.

Jon Stewart and ‘The Daily Show’: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at 9 Essential Moments

All of you, except for heresluck, are fired.

Why didn't you tell me about the hip-hop almost Shakespearean delight that is Empire? Why didn't you tell me about how much I would love Cookie? OMG COOKIE. And Jamal, too, very much, but COOKIE ( Read more... )
