Just an Update

So I finally discovered that people are reading this blog. I don’t know why but that still strikes me as strange. I see this as more of a repository for stray thoughts that would otherwise be lost, but if other people enjoy it, all the better.

I should be blogging considerably less this week, because I have three papers that need to be written. But in reality, that means I will be blogging more. Much more. As long as I can stay away from those papers.
I love my work ethic.

In other news I’m already looking forward to SomDay this year (June 16th), which is undoubtedly a mistake. Whenever I get into something this far in advance there is a chance for me to waste all my energy and enthusiasm in anticipation. But no matter, logic hasn’t stopped me before, and it won’t now.
Last year’s Zombie invasion was incredibly fun, and I’d like to do something again on that scale, but not the same. If possible, this holiday should be celebrated differently each year.
(PLEASE NOTE: this doesn’t mean we won’t do another zombie invasion just for shits and giggles)
We’re still working on a final plan. One idea was to spend an entire day as your Anti-self. Bizarro-you. Take everything about you to the other extreme, and do that for the entire day. If you’re outgoing, become shy and reclusive. If you’re uptight become laid back. Etc.

We shall see. For now, I’m going to try and do some damage to one of these papers.

I apologise for not having anything more interesting to post than YouTube videos, but I really don’t. No major philosophical breakthroughs, no multimillion dollar businesses (yet); and I’ve spent most of my time doing work. I even got a job. Crazy.
So I suppose I’ll just tip all of you avid readers off to some shows I’ll be heading to in the coming days/weeks/months.
Natalie McMaster is coming to the Jorgensen in a few weeks.
Keller Williams is coming to the Webster Theater soon after that.
And then of course there is Bonnaroo, and tickets should be going on sale for that soon.

In case anyone keeps checking the site and gets frustrated that I don’t update often enough, I’m always updating the Linkroll on the sidebar, so you can check that.

On the Weather

So for a long time the weather has been the de facto topic for small talk. But as of late, the weather has actually become a legitimate conversation topic. Thanks to global warming/climate cycles/whatever I’m constantly trying to figure out if someone is genuinely interested in what they’re talking about.
Just some food for thought.

Spore

So, I realize I have not updated since I got back in the states. I’ve been out enjoying the real world. It’s nice.
So I come back to the digital world only to discover that there are still many worlds awaiting me.
fl0w is one of those. This is very similar to what the first stage of Spore will be like, so if you’re as anxious as I am, enjoy it.
If you’re not, here is some music:
