Guys!  Here is this amazing webcomic:

And OH LOOK! they've made it into a novel now!  Interesting process, I'm sure.  I'm also sure that it will be super fun.  Today is Kaja's birthday!  Read all about it:

...I'll (finally) learn my alphabet backwards, thanks!

Onward and upward, skyways and flyways, twenty-times the bird is a mere fifth the scotch!

--But sir, your strongest drink is a mountain dew!

THEN YOU'D BETTER IMPORT IT FROM SCOTLAND, YEAH?


[Note: Yes, I used the twenty-times line in a recent work.  It just felt right.]

Sue me.
[Don't sue me please]

So how is everybody here?  Well, I'm doing pretty well!  Right now just chillin at the computer, sippin on a steaming cup of tea, waiting for the sickies to get off me.  
I thought my viewership waning back in.. what, July 07?  I wonder how many will check this and reply to it.  *Pings Deviantart*

I provide to you (those watchers, most patient and longsuffering- my vestigial viewership) a sage quote, compliments of one William Feather:
"One of the indictments of civilizations is that happiness and intelligence are so rarely found in the same person."

I believe I have come to understand the reasoning.  With History essays, Foreign Language work, TOK write-ups, Physics and Chemistry assignments, a 4,000 word Extended Essay to revise [or finish, or start, for some of us], and less than two fortnights until deadline, I begin to suspect if one of the basic tenants of IB is to insure that we are unhappy.  Oftentimes they fail at it- Physics is fun!- but upon reviewing my own summer workload, I recognise their subtlety.  Mulling over my academic corvée, I begin to feel a destitution which, heretofore, had been reserved for times of great personal loss, such as dropping my icecream cone on a sandy beach.  My own despondency waxes with each passing moon, and my only solace is that I am not alone here.  Misery loves company.  

Dear Mr. Feather here is not to be taken lightly, either! With what shred of divination I may posses, I predict my fate to be a grim, 'unhappy' one.  I, you see, am addicted to knowledge.  Most noteably, (Quantum/Partical) physics.  No, no.  I digress.  Happiness and intelligence (if I may be so bold) will be found in this person-  electrons can be exciting.

Uwe.

P.S.  If you caught the semiblatant pun, I have two things to say: 1) I'm proud, and 2) I apologise [Anybody who catches it would find it painful, methinks].

PPS It's late.  I haven't reread this.  Excuse grammar errors, punctuation mistakes, spelling blunders... coherent thought processes
