so i was just sitting here chilling, listening to a little Neil Young on Roland II the Electric Boogaloo, and waiting for a meeting with Al, the cutest girl on earth™, to begin. when tragedy struck! suddenly Roland II just stopped playing. i thought maybe his battery was low, but that wasn’t it. He was [...]

so yeah, back at work. yay! (if you can’t smell the sarcasm coming off that last one, then well, you should get your nose checked). one good thing? my commute has been cut in half. you know what that means? more sleep in the morning.
