On Fraud Alert

Another day of nothing here on Wing On Some Wheels, the amount of academic work I’ve been doing would make any good mother proud of their son.

Although I never had a problem with battery life, my current remaining time stands [...]

FeedCrier

I ask you feedcrier, ” Who would want to receive RSS feeds via IM, aren’t we already experts at procrastinating ” ?
