I wanted to use the rss-Feed but the feed url displays me some xml errors…
What are you using to subscribe to the RSS? GoogleReader? Your web browser?
The movie night thing sounds awesome! Hopefully I can make it on thursday…I have juggling club until 4:15 so I can be there at 4:30 easily, but having both means I am not home until 6:30 which I’m not necessarily happy about…
Wait, when is battle of the books starting this year? Me and my friends have a team in mind, but we don’t know where to sign up.
