Wednesday Randoms

Time for the bloggy blog. Lots of things I thought about adding to the blog this week; some topics, however, are better suited for an individual entry. The amount of ranting (or raving, not just complaints on this site!) deserve my undivided attention, and not just a bullet point on my laundry list of randoms. I'll work on it.
