Mandatory day off work tomorrow, then three days work, then poker game, then day off for Kyle's wedding, then not sure what next week. Five weeks til this insanity ends. Seems like such a fucking long time. At least there are fun (and sometimes hot) christmas casuals popping up from time to time ( Read more... )

We each get a club, mine of course being Swan Districts, and write articles over the rest of the semester about stuff to do with them and their ( Read more... )
