In Response to Nigel

At the moment? Yes. That's what it feels like. Rushing around and doing readings, and burying our heads in books. At least Chieh's got the good fortune to bury himself in guts.

Well okay it's not all doom and gloom. There's always the ever-present balm of beer, although with my current wealth I cannot quite afford it often enough to stay in an inebriated state of happiness. And the warm comfy feeling I get when I open the page and see another new post (finally Nigel!).
