Of course, as things work out the way they do, Murphy's Law does the same. A roommate error left me with a need for lots of money, so I ended up having to forgo a scanner in lieu of having a roof over my head.

I'm keeping my chin up, though, and enjoying the simple things such as my Vampire: The Requiem and Masquerade games,
