hahaha. i always knew better than to trust newspapers XP that's why i only read the lit and entertainment sections hehe.

i am working on our newsletter again. i've been doing this editing/writing/layouting on a weekly basis for the past 3 or 4 years. which only reinforces my belief that newspapers (and newsletters, for that matter) are NOT to be trusted completely, bwahahahaha.. XP

i wish i could bring myself to do more than the layouting, though. i admit.. i miss writing. i don't know if i still have it in me to churn out a decent article. i probably don't *sigh* oh well.

this is worse than writers' block. inspire me, please..
