So here we are. Clock is ticking. Mistakes will be made, both happy accidents and career-ending missteps. Christmas Morning for our deviant kind. Ho ho ho, bitches.

Senor Weaselo - April 17, 2024April 17, 2024

7 gigs in 8 nights has come and gone, and there was much rejoicing for my bank account, especially after the check to the Treasury Department (aka, taxes) cleared. Which was good in that it essentially cleared dead money in that case. Less good in the amount of money, which
