--I suppose it's progress that my brain has shifted from going blank when I try to think of anything but linkspam to post to having thoughts on things I want to/should post but not managing to actually do it.

Technically I could still do my "December talking meme" posts this month, since there're only five or six topics, but I think at this point I'm just going to do what some other people have done and formally say I'll get those written in January. La!So first there was the "sleeping through last night's get-together" thing. Then I went to bed a ( Read more... )
