Today, I accidently banged my leg against a filing cabinet leaving a large bluish bruise.
Today, I found out an entire part of my email account had been lost due to a server error.
Today, I had to beg a local concert hall to reinstate $200 tickets that my sister had lost.
No biggie. It's not such a bad day.

Voxtrot broke up. WTF?! FML!
Voxtrot is/was one of my favourite bands of the last few years.

Voxtrot, you'll be missed!

Mitch Calvert is in a band called International Waters, Jared Van Fleet has his solo project, Sparrow House, and Matt Simon and Jason Chronis play in JC & Co., The Black, and Belaire. Ramesh Srivastava probably has some tricks up his sleeve too.
