<p><b>Zeke's Better Judgment:</b> Slow year, huh?
<p>Yeah. For the site, anyway. Real life is another story.
<p><b>Zeke's Better Judgment:</b> A story that no one needs to hear, but I bet you'll still --
<p>I finished my thesis! My Master's degree is almost complete. I just need to give the talk next month, and then I'm home free.
<p><b>Zeke's Better Judgment:</b> Uh huh. Anything else you want to bore people with? Perhaps a little moaning about how some girl crushed your soul?
<p>That happened twice this year. See? I haven't just been sitting around.
<p><b>Zeke's Better Judgment:</b> Yeah, you're a real dynamo. You're the transwarp bowling ball of productivity.
<p>And this post is just to get in one more 2007 entry. I have an actual update pla--
<p><b>Zeke's Better Judgment:</b> Oooo, an UPDATE! Sound the alarm! Run for the hills, Mabel!
<p>What are you so cranky about?
<p><b>Zeke's Better Judgment:</b> Perhaps it hasn't occurred to you that I stop <i>existing</i> when you let the site go dead like this. It's really annoying.
<p>Come on, you're my better judgment. I use you all the time.
<p><b>Zeke's Better Judgment:</b> Remind me: in what manner do you buy box after box of comics? And stay up late playing video games when you have a cold? And backdate newsposts because there are still time zones where it's not midnight yet?
<p>(sigh) Against my better judgment.
<p><b>Zeke's Better Judgment:</b> Exactly. I can't get a word in edgewise except online, where you think it's funny.
<p>All right, all right, point taken. But it <i>is</i> funny.
<p><b>Zeke's Sense of Humour:</b> Actually...
<p>You stay out of this.

Hooray! The voices in Zeke's head aren't dead! Oh, you don't know how happy that makes me. :)

You forgot to capitalize Life. :)

Huzzah! Happy New Ears to you, too, Zeke!

But seriously, though - who is Mabel?
