You're welcome.

Is Mark Arm personally responsible for shipping out records from Sub Pop?

It makes me a little giddy that my recent purchases have his name in the return address.

I am still kinda drunk.

Despite still harboring a strong disdain for much of my graduating class, I am also still rooting for them.
