I'm down to my socks... or something. I've been enjoying Flight of the Conchords way too much over the summer. I've accomplished only a fraction of what I've wanted to do this Summer, which would normally be unfortunate but I'm so stoked for school to be almost over that it's blinding me from the bad (kind of like a 'my future is so bright i ( Read more... )
