Hello people! I thought I'd be back with this post much earlier, so instead of chopping them up into multiple posts I'm going to give it you all at once. Be ready for three months of real life to fly by in the time it takes to read this blog post. Let me get you to up to speed.

What to do When Only Ugly Refrigerators Fit?
