It was a pretty depressing day of reading, and I found the Ehrenreich piece was the most depressing of the bunch. That one hit me hard with enormous societal shame. I haven't read Stuart: A Life Backwards, but I will go look it up now.

Hee! Yay for saving the porn! All my torrents came back, too, though I proceeded to immediately delete them all by accident myself. None of them were porn, though, so it's okay. *g*

Speaking of porn, the 'thon is definitely very stressful! I don't blame you at all for skipping it this year. It's fun, but I will definitely have to consider it very carefully before I sign up again. It's a major trial for my time management skills.
