Visible at right is the completed first draft for my new book, provisionally titled Man, I Really Gotta Figure Out What to Call This.  

Now that the draft is done, I feel the need to resume contact with the rest of the human race.  Hi.  It’s nice to be back.

At this point I’d also like to thank several pieces of music that were instrumental in helping me get this done:

• American Psycho (32 plays)
• Famous Monsters (36 plays)
• Land of the Dead (74 plays)
• White 2 (6 plays)
• “If You Let Me” (44 plays)

Yes, those might give a clue as to the tone I was going for.

In case you’re curious, those pickle-colored beads are komboloi.  As any old Greek dude will tell you, they make a truly excellent fidgeting tool.
