Yay TED! He got the backups working! Yaaaaaaaay Ted!

The counting of the words, the counting of the words, high ho the derry-o, the counting of the words! Ok, that totally didn’t rhyme, but whatever. New words written: 798. Old words thrown out: 283.

I haven’t had my Ted around! Wah! I hope he gets the stupid backup problem fixed today. Poor Ted. :( I’ve decided that if I ever win an Oscar, I’m just going to steal from previous Oscar-winners speeches. First I will acknowledge,…
