Friday Randomness from Me

I missed out on 2009 due to Katsu being back at Crystal City and me not wanting to bother anyway (cf. parenthetical about Gallifrey above) and when I went to Gaylord earlier this year, let's just after the worst multi-day blizzard in the region in however many years, I really wasn't feeling up to being in the middle of nowhere along the banks of the Potomac.
