still not checking comments

Dunno when I’m gonna get a chance to catch up on comments, so this is just a reminder to continue to behave. If someone is being a superduper pain the ass, feel free to email me. But really, kids, don’t make me come up there…

my week at the movies: nothing

Didn’t I mention? I’m in England through the end of the week. Though if the world economy keeps crashing, I might get stuck here if British Airways can’t scrape together the money to buy jet fuel.
