I had planned to wait another week or so before even thinking about when to next see OST, but after this week that has been happening to me and everyone I know in this area, I need #3 on Saturday.  Assuming I live that long ( Read more... )

It's been a surprisingly good day, especially for a Monday.  Apparently, all I need is a short-term _purpose_ in life, even if I don't actually get an opportunity to work directly on it.  (On that topic, everyone should definitely take a look at the awesome, glowing comment that I got from the good people at Hemorrhoid Treatment 101 on how ( Read more... )
