Things of Note:
Another week, another list of links. Have at you!
This past week wasn’t the best, healthwise. As such, no real news or happenings to talk about. Oh, I guess one: finally watched the new Ghostbusters movie (with the all-female cast). It was entertaining, I suppose. I wasn’t really a fan of the original one, and this was about on par with that for entertainment level. Take that for what you will.
Hopefully this week will be better.
How have you been lately?
