So Ive been at my new job for the New York Times Regional Media Group for about a month or so. I've been doing a mix of ads for print for a bunch of papers, tabs, magazines and websites.

thanks. i often feel that my understanding of everything around me is so utterly wrong that there's no hope of ever leading a 'normal' life, but if others think the same way, then that gives me a bit of hope.
forgot how sexy your voice is..
