I just realized something while going over this morning's mail...

Please note the following items of ill fortune which have befallen
various among us this past week:

-I've become blind in my right eye (and for those of you who e-mailed
me about the simplicity of a detached retina, you already know that I
spared the list the *gory* details of my condition)

-Krista-san has been laid off work

-Ichinohei Hitomi-san has mysteriously disappeared, and kami-sama
knows who can tell us what happened

-fanfic.com is scattered across White Wolf's apartment, its
components snickering at him

-I broke my middle finger, which is now taped to the second <don't ask
how, it's kind of embarrassing> This puts my planned fics and resurgance
back into the happy home of the FFML back several days as typing even
this much hurts like hell. So buck up Robert, it's not ALL bad.
 

Everyone be on your guard this week, there's a bad moon rising, and I
don't mean the Black Moon or an evil Tsukino Usagi.
