    Sorry for the lack of updates; in the last couple of days I’ve been totally burnt out. To wit: I bought The Incredibles on DVD last night, and halfway through, at 11pm, I had to turn it off and go to bed. Mostly because of this past weekend, which was great fun, but totally draining. More on that to come.
