Finally, Friday. As a entity who lives through multiple iterations of every week, over and over again, for all time, all at once - even for me, this was a long fucking week.

Here it is Friday. At 8:30 tonight, I'll be at the IMAX watching Watchmen. However, that's not now. Now, I need something to do to keep me from looking at the clock. Work is slow and dead, so that's not helping. Thus, here I am. Normally, these loads of pics are about you - my gift unto you, an expression of my love for you. Today, it's ( Read more... )
