Tags: or not, all the sargent, together!, i scheduled this post in September, in the midst of the fall political campaigns, and the release of poeparty, and all the drama of seeing people achieve their dreams, january me will know how it all turned out, assuming january me is a thing that exists, not to be morbid, but these things happen, but let's hope for the best, and look forward to celebrating sargent's 161st birthday.
