General Apathy has invaded. And here I thought I was a peaceful, sovereign state, but no. General Apathy and his battalions of laziness, procrastination, and special ops force "if I just don't do it, is anyone really going to notice" moved right on in and are setting up camp.

I'm on the verge of that right now. But I'm not quite at that verge yet, so before I get there the couch is calling...
