My official ACT results just came in the mail. Composite: 34 Writing Test: 8 (Out of 12) Comments on Writing: “Your essay adequately supported general statements with specific reasons, examples, and details.

Contempt Slot Music Awards™ #2
Biggest Disappointment / Dumbest Move of the Year: Chris Pennie’s Idiotic Band Transfer For those of you who don’t know who Chris Pennie is, he’s one of the best drummers in the world right now. He’s mostly known for his ability to play in some of the strangest and most chaotic-sounding time signatures known to mankind. He works (or rather, worked) every style of drumming...
