\"ENLARGE\"<\/a>I never repeat heavy little objects.<\/p>\n

I mean, never.<\/p>\n

My little daily obsession can be a cruel taskmistress, sometimes commanding me to find something cool to post even when nothing cool has come through my life. But like an idiot samurai, I live and die by a code set in motion long ago and over which I (choose to) have no control.<\/p>\n
