All theempire.homeftp.net links will be broken til I figure away around bellsouth screwing me. For now, you can replace that part of any url with "antelope.homeftp.net:4900" and it should get you to the files you seek. This is probably only going to affect those who want to grab the latest TRB file.

I will actually post the sketch I wrote the other day, but its on another computer, and I'm getting increasingly less lucid, so it shall wait. It's the first act of a comedy thing that will probably never get a second or third act.

All I can about it right now is, Weather monkey.

My week was continuing to go really crappy, but it's getting some bright points to keep me from utter hermit-psychosis.

My incredibly pathetic new years night was given a ray of sunshine, and I was spared a rather soul crushing dose of loneliness. Couldn't have come at a better time. I could go more into this, but I'm just gonna say thanks again.

I'm just gonna lay off the mental state stuff until Sunday or so, when I estimate I shall be feeling much better. It's been a very sad, very tiring, very frustrating week, and I think for once I'm just gonna shut up about it and be glad when it's over. I started feeling better about 12:30 tonight, and have been getting better since.

Now it's time to enhance that spike with some beer, some ninja turtles, and some sleep.

No matter how apparent it is at the time that some crap I'm going through is self-inflicted, it still feels good to come out of it.

If I don't blow it, this could be a good year.

Just can't let stuff pile up like this as much - it makes people around me feel responsible when they're not. And I eventually cheer up either way, whether commanded to or not.

Anyway, Raphael is being cool but rude, and I'm being increasingly cryptic, so I'm forcibly ending this one.
