Hey guys. I have some 'splainin' to do.

This is how far I've gotten in Watchmen.

This is how far I've gotten in Rendezvous with Rama. (I was oddly disinclined to taking a screenshot.)

But I have a copy of Nausicaa! And two free hours between now and April 1st. So I will be on time with this discussion, I promise.

I've been feeling really bad about not being able to keep up. I'm a team leader in Americorps, supervising a team of 8 other 18-24 year olds, and in between teaching and mentoring and coaching, I'm a full-time fucking babysitter. A single mom with 8 always-hungry-and-always-complaining children. I don't have two seconds to rub together. Which is an exaggeration, I have time, but now that we're done our trainings and we're out in the field doing our service, my evenings are mine again. So I begin again our discussions with renewed commitment.
