I am proud to introduce to the world:

I've been meaning to make another post for a couple of days now.  It's been about a month since I've done much more than troll the forums a bit.  As some of you know, I am a graduate student.  I have recently received word that I have passed my depth exam in artificial intelligence.  What does this mean besides over a month of intense studying?  Basically, I have demonstrated that I am knowledgeable enough in my field to continue doing research.  This was a fairly substantial hurdle for me, so I'm celebrating just a bit.  Hopefully now I'll be able to resume my life as it was before, including spending some time on the vine submitting and doing mod stuff.

At least in spirit.  I'm undergoing some serious work in school right now which will require my full and undivided attention.  No cause for alarm or anything.  This has been expected and planned for, I just know that it will not be pretty.  Having said that I will probably pop up on the forums from time to time because I will need some small amount of time away from the intensity to retain my fleeting sanity.  My goal is to avoid all unnecessary stressors in all forms until my life has become uncomplicated once again.

I'd really like Maggot back.  I liked him a lot.  I'd also like to see Fantomex get his own series.
