Welcome Back!

Hello world once again! Copious Notes is officially back in action now that I have my computer unpacked in its new house and set up in at least a temporary location. I’m looking to get fully back into the swing of things with a post tomorrow, a new Thursday Thirteen, and an entry [...]

Takin’ a short break

This week is a busy one, where I am in the midst of packing and moving to a new place. Since all my off-time will be used shoving my crap into boxes, Copious Notes will go on a little break. I plan on coming back this Sunday with a new edition of Lyrically [...]
