Postal Fire
I’ve got two new albums under heavy rotation in my listenings. They’re from 2003 & 2004, respectively, so I’m running a little late.

Comcastic!
Got a letter in the mail. Comcast is raising their prices…again! I’m so happy. I absolutely want to give birth to a Comcast baby, which will happen soon enough, they’ve raped me enough times.
