Due to some sort of continuing mix-up in one of Tufts' acronymed agencies, I didn't get paid last week for my on-campus job. Considering this was only going to be my third weekly check in six weeks of work, I wasn't surprised at the incompetence.

It's a vicious cycle for witches, and I'd honestly feel sorry for them if they weren't constantly cursing princesses or creating soporific miasmas around poppy fields.
I've got good news: the NBA is about to experience a renaissance of grand proportions.
