I bought my own copy of "Plans" yesterday. Previosly, I had only had a burned copy. I bought my own copy because I happened to be at a Death Cab fer Cutie concert. I was excited, to give an understatement ( Read more... )

Settling into summer has been interesting. Rue's graduation went wonderfully. There was talk of immigrants stealing our jobs and how to keep them out. The person talking was Stephen Colbert. I recommend you all go to youtube.com and type in "Stephen Colbert at Knox College" and click on the one that says "Part 1" rather than "Clip 1." There's some ( Read more... )

I leave tomorrow. I'm waking up at the ass-crack of dawn to catch the bus into town, then the bus from town to the airport. These past few days have been... hectic. I should have known. But oh well.

Right now, this is just to say: I'm not dead; I'm back in Ireland; I have ( Read more... )

I'm off to Hungary! whoot. I'll be back in Dublin around noon on Saturday, then Melissa and I are catching the Josh Ritter concert that night. Life... is busy but good -- just the way I like it.

A month today, I leave for home. Strange, no? If I'm honest, I currently feel kind of trapped here. It's sort of a limbo experience. I'm talking to people here, but they're not as cool as the people I know in the States. Or rather, if they are as cool, I don't connect with them as well ( Read more... )
