those who don't want to sully the purity of their blogs with this kind of drivel, can email me their entries

Yes, I'm not.

I'm also not grading and not sleeping. And as much as I'd like to do both at once, I'm going to have to choose the sleeping.

I'm sort of not-commenting as well. Hiatus is all the rage these days.

Awww, dang, I might have liked to pen an entry. Oh well, maybe I'll try one on my own.
