Russian Prison Tattoos and whatnot

I am curious about Russian prison tattoos. I like them very much and am also scared of them. Such is the way with most things I like. I am almost always simultaneously enamored and terrified.

In other news:

I am back at college trying to earn my bachelors in English. I am taking a required botany class and also English 301-Literary Analysis and Critical Theory. I am overwhelmed as I work full-time in retail purgatory. All is well. I have no real complaints.

My prayers go out to Annie Le and her fiancee' and family. I work at a retail store on the Yale Campus so this atrocity hit close to home.
