New on Backwash: “Aeris”. I warned you all that you were going to get a polemic from me for the GameFAQs visitors who kicked Aeris out of this year’s tournament, and here it is.

Well, the good news is that the whole Spectrum situation turned out a lot better than I thought it would. We’ve got a lot of great new members, and I think I’ve made peace with all the older ones who I’d been having problems with.

For the record, yes, I picked up Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right on Friday; I’ve only gotten halfway through it so far, but it is once again scarily spot-on. It’s not as funny as the Limbaugh book, but that’s…
The e-mail is sent. I’ve done everything I can, and now it’s out of my hands. I know I’ll have a hell of a time accepting that last part, but now I’ve just got to go on with my life as best I can, and hope for the best.
