Also, and as a complete non-sequitur, i come across articles here and there that interest me and which i would like to share with others, through a friendly, no-obligation medium such as this. they might vary widely and may or may not appeal to you, but i know others among you have similar stuff to share. so i'm thinking maybe once a week i'll put up a selection, and y'all can put links/articles/miscellany up via comments - interested?

in other news i found zdrobshe was behind the breadi know that doesn't sound like i looked very hardi'm apprpriately ashamed and sorry for the panic and drama and i'm so pleased to have her back. mmmmm - chocolate baaa
