on a much less exciting note (everything is less exciting than primary colors), i have to send my laptop into the shop tomorrow (when i took it into the store last week, i heard the words "mother" and "board," which led to me the words "uh" and "oh." thank goodness for warranties), so this blog will be on a vacation, and i will more or less be severing my ties to the internet. it'll be just like 1995. it'll be great.
i'll go ahead and encourage you to live your lives as you normally would. don't worry about me. i'll come out of this a stronger person.
