Okay, I said barring catastrophe... and while it's not a catastrophe (since Malfactor didn't annihilate himself, as he is wont to do when left off for extended periods of time), my power's been out for hours and just now returned. So I lost all that work-time and dad wants to go out to eat and it's already five and argh. I hate to break promises...

BUT I did get to talk to Emiko and then Laris, which was good and fun. Oh well. I'll try to get done anyway. I just have a lot to type and typing is so tedious, since I also edit while I type. It is the least fun part of writing.
