All that I know is five minutes ago I finally finished a polished draft of Kaldis #9 and feel as if a stentrode has just been textalized up my quintastic, to put it in an adulting sort of way.

But for me, I am hoping that many of my age cohort will be the basis of the new word "septastic" by the end of 2017.
