As a fan of symmetry, I figured I’d close the book on inkandpaint for good. The fact is, livejournal is just getting a little too trashy, so from now on I’ll be writing exclusively in my myspace blog and recording Podcasts to be found in the general blogosphere. Siiiike! Anyway, the last (almost) four years have been fun, real, et al. If need be, you should ( Read more... )
