One morning, the spirits spoke to me, stirring my heart and warming my blood with a ferocious desire. A desire so carnal so visceral that to speak it will surely cause blindness in goats and cabbage. This my friends is the desire to make sushi in one's dorm room for a super bowl party.

Perhaps though we are opening the Chamber of Gaf, the door to the beginning and the end. I think though that, in the words of Arthur C. Clark's Dave Bowman, "Something wonderful is going to happen..."
