Screw it. It's magic.
Whatever it is you are doing, keep doing it. If you're sleep-deprived, no more sleep for you. If you lit candles for your Possum Shrine, go get some more candles. Because this is getting ridiculous.
Of course, this means I have to keep staring at a blank TV screen, imagining what is going on in the game because I have no cable or internet right now because Frontier Communications is the worst company on the planet. I lost connectivity on Monday, and they can't send someone out until Friday... when I will be in a different city.
