Those of you who have been avidly following my progress this semester on 
my degree will be happy to know that as of 5:15 pm CST today, I have been 
awarded the Master of Arts degree in Japanese literature.  Assuming, of 
course, I finish my 30-page paper on CHinese short stories by the end of 
next week.

This of course means that not only will I get to actually see my daughter 
on occasion, sleep, and move out to Tucson, but I will also finally have 
time to write fanfics, most important of all.

Expect to see my Shampoo "Reunions" story within the week and Ranma 
Monogatari part 5 within the month.

Oh, and you may all call me "Master."
