Project TROIKA
The Professor has done it! The Project TROIKA novel now exists as a first draft manuscript, Tier 2 has reached its successful conclusion. This calls for a drink; I chose a gin & tonic, champagne and/or sparkling wine seeming a little excessive given the difficult work ahead in Tiers 3, 4, & 5. But now's not the time for that, now's the time to raise a glass to my dear friend, The Professor, on the occasion of his momentous achievement. To The Professor!

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Reel Big Fish, "Hate You" from Monkeys For Nothing and the Chimp's For Free (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I find it endlessly pleasurable to embrace such a dark, nihilist song when I am in such a happy, delightful mood.
