Yet ANOTHER wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Stuff like that is a weird slap in the face, sometimes. It's been a long time since I had anything similar...back in college, in the same year, I lost one of my roommates, my dad, had two of my friends go through a really ugly divorce, and then, just after Christmas, one of the guys I had done a show with earlier that fall was killed in a car accident. That whole year left me feeling very philosophical about life for a long time...
