Comrades!

Winter has just kicked into overhaul here, and I have all four of my snow tires still riding around with me in my backseat. Okay, so they would actually work if they were actually on, but them's the breaks. Oh wait, I have those riding in my trunk. Car troubles aside, it's pretty scary to think that my winter semester ends next Thursday. Of course I want to get on with the spring semester, but like the lot of you I still have major projects to finish up before I can rest easy. But you didn't come here to listen to me babble for hours on end, so let's get to the punch.

Noreen Rana takes time out of the busy holidays to share a rather relaxing outing with the furrier heroes of Hyrule. I have to say though, it's a rather pleasant scene to think about while we slowly freeze to death for the next four months. I advise you all to print off a copy and hold onto it tightly if you manage to get those cold winter blues anytime soon.

On a health update, I didn't have a virus afterall! It turns out that I had a middle-ear infection and an infection in the back of my throat with pus. Sounds quite delightful, doesn't it? I wound up going to the emergency room Saturday night because my ear was draining. A draining ear's a good sign and all, but it kinda caused a bit of concern when blood was included with the liquid. Your humble narrator refuses to die, and is now on Penicillin until the bottle runs dry.

Sadly we must part ways again for the time being. Just remember that I'm always here every Friday to do a song and dance for you all to take-in and react however you will. Charitable donations are always accepted but I prefer fan mail the best.

Steven Ardo needs to finish a painting, a flash website, and whatever advertising projects that have been pushed off to the side since the beginning of the semester.
