The Happily Frustrated Park Place Log

if you're going to use tricky words like "schadenfreude", it's best to make sure you spell them correctly.  i can understand though, 'cause when you're typing on a forum, you don't always have a dictionary nearby...

'cause it looked like i just got a new first place).
