“He bought an acre of land with a small ramshackle building. Everyone who visited either died a violent death or went insane. It was an evil plot.” #writing #throwawayline

It’s been a productive morning. I should eat to celebrate.

Hey! It’s Friday! Be cheerful in that realization.

SuperNote allows for side-loading .apk files. This is cool, since I’d like to have something like a read-it-later app on it. Maybe I should try to learn Android development again.
