Today's show has been brought to you by the letter Argyle, and the number Cephalopod.

That last slot is God's call. I dunno exactly what He wants me to do yet, but I'll bet it's a heck lot better than anything else on that list! Dattebayo. (Of course, every item here should be done in such a way as to reflect His glory, so every slot is His anyhow. Nevertheless! :)

In sad news, our chinchilla passed away on September 11th, 2009, which is also my brother's birthday. In happier news, my favorite professor is supervising the completion of a graphic novel that I'm pretending I can do.

In mediocre news, I have to test into Math 99 by the end of the week. Jeepers.

In awesome news, the Tran writes epic run-on sentences. (He was going for the Locke effect).

Be well, friends! (Also, if you feel so inclined, ya'll should make your own 'To-do' Lists and post them!)
