January 9th, 2012:

First:

My dear friend Esme was murdered in her home after coming home from a NYE party here in Austin. It's been over a week ago and i'm still just as shocked and saddened by this as I was the second I heard the news. Her funeral is tomorrow in El Paso. Please donate any spare money to help her family pay for services and expenses here.

Second:

I just realized today that the frames on this very website have been out of whack for who knows how long, making the buttons be out of place and making the layout seem… well… just wrong. I just spent 3 hours fixing it, which leads me to the thought of that I would still REALLY love if someone wanted to design a new site for me. Get in touch.

And finally:

I am really, *REALLY* behind on my mail orders. If you have ordered anything in the last month or so, you haven't received it yet. I deeply apologize for this and will be catching up on everything tonight.

Thanks. Be decent to each other.
