See? Nothing good ever happens when people start talking about how good you are.
So thanks a lot, BBA Today! And maybe we don’t even mean that ironically, because at least we’re back to normal.
The OOTP gods have been assuaged. Optimism and excitement have been extinguished. Disappointment and drudgery have been restored.
It’s kinda like coming home ...
