Where the hell is everyone?
I'm developing a level of croissanty smugness right now. I was at work for 6 hrs today (despite it being holidays and not being paid) then I went to the gym. YEAH! If I wasn't smug, I'd be complaining.

What have you guys been up to?
alt q: What special animal ability would you have if you could choose (ie eyes of a hawk, speed of a puma....etc)?
