I didn't mention in my last post (partly for lack of time, and partly because it slipped my mind) that the electrical problems in my car stopped happening.

It's annoying, but it's how I work. Apparently, I respond well to pressure ( Read more... )

Ended up having a fun night in with ak111, George, and The Boy. Played some State Of Emergency on the Xbox (goddamn, that's a fun game) and played a really long-ass game of Monopoly. Had a really good time ( Read more... )
