Citizens:

I recently refilled my ink cartridge for 11 dollars at a place on Alston way off of Shattuck in Berkeley. You can also do this at Walgreens though they don't offer as large a selection. Here is the link to the place on Alston.

And so did this:

So we survived Litquake! But some of us had to do things we're not
proud of, to make it through. So it's time to ATONE for our
literary SINS. There will be hairshirts. There will be cats of
99 tails (and a few deformed heads.) There will be wailing and
mortification. And that's just what Tim Maleeny has planned
for you guys at Writers With Drinks. David West and Nomy Lamm
will be way more hardcore. (And scroll down for my upcoming events...)

um, Ben. Thank you for the nice post, but can you please abide by the standard groop blog font size and style? This post is messy. We're gonna need Jeremy to get out the vacuum.

hen I hit preview it looks like hell, which makes me think it looks like hell on your end, but not on mine, for some really, really strange reason. I went in and cleaned it up as best I could. I can't get the font to remain consistent, however.
