Even stars need a little help to pierce the dark

Rip

Anytit, have an update on the mediocrity that is my life.

It's kinda rad that I've been in Italy for... Hell, half a year now? Just baking, saving, doing nothing in the meantime. Still wondering if I have the drive to actually make my own business, but hell, if not, I have the cash to do otherwise, yeah? I got some science smarts in me I can exploit.
