Still busy, busy, busy. Getting sick. Not a good time, not at all. Also in a bizarre mood, so watch out.

I paid my bill yesterday, so genehack.org is mine-all-mine until 09/24/2001. Yay! Now to graduate and get a real job so I can afford real hosting…

Salon jumps on the 'blog-wagon with Naughty Bits; personally, I’m sticking with Pursed Lips for my sex 'blogging needs (or is it desires?).
