something i have been working on seems to be broken. i’m not sure if it is my code or if it is just bad data, but whatever it is, it’s taking a ridiculously long time to finish this process. i tested my code, i really did. it *should* work, it really should. so i’m really hoping that it is just bad data and i’ll be absolved of any wrong doing.
