Too much time here, and not enough studying.
 
2011-10-14 12:17:16 PM
5/11 - Considering that I was gone all week, and I second guessed some that would have otherwise been correct.
 
2011-10-14 12:19:34 PM
5/11, a bit off from my average of 7.something

Busier than usual week is showing.

Top Ten but I still have broken through the 1000 mark yet. Damn these slow fingers.

I sucked immense balls on this one.

Just my opinion, of course, but I found this week's news insufficiently weird. The Universe is entitled to its down weeks, though, I guess.
