Just checking in briefly to say:

1. I'm friggin' busy as heck
2. I'm sorry for making fun of goths a while back. I really am. I didn't know you were going to start killing people. I apologize from the bottom of my cowardly heart and it will never happen again.
3. My rate of marriage proposal reception from ex-Soviet dictatorships has decreased markedly since my posts turned serious over the past 1 or 2 weeks, but I saw something funny at the grocery store recently, so hopefully I can reverse the trend tonight.....ladies keep those marriage proposals coming. I'll never marry, but it feels good to get 'em.
