Today is one of those days that are best gotten over and done with. It has been uncomfortable and depressing, RL has been filled with injured relatives and unexpected expenses, and tonight I find myself with the imagination and wordskills of a small goldfish. So I have done the l o n g slash survey posted below and am now going to go and find something mindless to read.
