So I have a blu-ray player now, my Christmas present from stmatthew. It's a nice Sony one, about half the size and weight of my former DVD player, and not only does it play blu-ray and regular DVDs (which look and sound even better on it) but it can also access the internet, so I can watch Youtube on my TV ( Read more... )

The last time the air had been so heavy and depressed had been after Karen died. How many weeks before he’d even gotten out of bed, much less done anything at all?

Man, I really hate immature cowards who waste valuable internet space sending hateful messages to people they don't even know.

I'd get angry but with people that fucking stupid, man, what the hell's the point?

I guess it's a measure of how much my life has moved to other things that it's been a week since and I haven't posted yet.
