At least, the plan is to start reading comics again. I've tried before, and it just hasn't worked out for me, but I think this time it's going to work.

My fall to the dark side is complete: I have an office now.

I moved what little stuff I have over on Saturday and unpacked most of it then. The office looks pretty empty and sad right now, but I'll add more stuff as I go along. I need to find a good picture or two to put up. I have a gorgeous print of a The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly painting a ( Read more... )

Happy birthday, prynne12! My world is a better place with you in it.
