...and somehow it manages to get stupider by the day.

This officially marks the last time I try something as stupid as a five-day update, by the way. I vastly misjudged how much of the article had yet to be laid out and written (I'd assumed like 10%; it was more like 50%).

Including my day-job duties, Trailer Trash updating duties, News Skim updating duties, and various weekend chores (food shopping, laundry), I basically had no weekend. Imagine working all week, coming home exhausted on Friday, then hopping on the computer all weekend. That was me.

Pretty stupid, yes? Agreed. I'm not looking for pity here, mind you. Because I know for a fact if I did, somebody would write a comment to this explaining how they didn't have a weekend because they were getting treated for leukemia or something, and I'd feel small and silly. So I'm just saying, as a point of objective truth: That was stupid of me to do. It was exhausting. And never again.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it (and thanks to my references to leukemia, how could you not feel like laughing?). I'm checking my hits after all this is over -- if it turns out only five people read the fucking thing after all this work, I'll probably snap like a ballgame pretzel and just turn jaypinkerton.com into a pornography website.
