Topic 2:

Two days ago I did however cut my upper forefinger up pretty nasty during a freak cooking accident. Who knew Foreman grilled burgers with Worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning could be so dangerous! I don�t even know how I did it, but my finger hasn�t stopped bleeding since so I have pretty hefty bandage on that finger.

I�m resorted to drawing penguins left-handed (lettering is still done right-handed)

I�m listening to some awesome house. If you want to hear it, just click here to stream (select open).

It�s from the same kids that brought me some great music last week at the party.
