It's been a while. Here's a recap for everyone keeping score at home ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I was paid to cut shamrocks out of green construction paper and make a rainbow with a pot of gold (also with construction paper). Fun times, fun times.

Yes, it is the beginning of the Year of the Bond (again, thanks to Keith Olbermann for that witty little observation). I hope it's as sexy and badass as it therefore should be for everyone, though, hopefully sans syphilis ( Read more... )
