I know, I'm insane. But if you are reading my livejournal and have not figured that out yet...something may be wrong with you.

Now, this part of my post will be to express my fondness for Rachel Yamagata. Seriously, this woman is an amazing musician, and if you haven't heard of her, I highly, highly recommend her. She only has one album, Happenstance, and every song on it is amazing. You owe it to yourself to go out and listen...unless you are some communist punk.

Today is going to be a normal day for me. Nothing special. Might play some Soul Calibur 3, might not. I'll probably spend an unhealthy amount of time sitting right here in front of my computer, but que sera, sera.

Cheers, Chummer.
