Can I get a do-over on this last weekend? I don't seem to remember much past Friday evening, and I'm pretty sure that's not a good thing. It just feel like it all passed in a blur, although I can't even remember leaving the house so I know it's not because I partied hard or anything like that.

“Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight.” - Marcus Aurelius
It seems certain decisions got made for me without my input, and I'm not sure how I should feel about that. Havoc got transferred to a completely different jurisdiction, outside of California.

"Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense."
I love when everything seems to fall into place perfectly, and a random idea that comes to me during an epic plane jaunt becomes lauded as one of the better modern teaching ideas this side of the country by the upper brass of the University. Also, I love when someone proves they harbor a complete lack of empathy for others, even when presented ( Read more... )
