Minas-Dreamland

Well, I haven't been as busy around here as I'd have liked, but it's okay, because I have been busy learning my new job. ^^ Yay for new jobs! I needed to be not out-of-work in a big way (HUGE fan of regular paychecks). But it's very different than I have experience with so there is a lot of learning to do and my brain is tired every day.
