Well, it is halfway through the week, and the surface of my desk at work remains eerily, unnaturally CLEAN.  It is surreal. Well.  That's actually just WORK in general ( Read more... )

...I have been at Facebook.  *hangs head* It's perfect for the ADD Personality--it's short, there are pictures, there is constant stimulation, and you can even make a pet and "buy" crap for it.  I even posted a book review over there ( Read more... )
