yeah, i'm all right, thanks.  just working at my job, and playing music a lot.  what have you been up to?

nice.  yeah, i've been playing with a band called ideal fathers for about a year and a half now.  it's actually pretty exciting, we have our first cd coming out in a couple weeks, and there seems to be some buzz at least ( Read more... )

It is sort of odd, how one specific rotation of the earth is so much more significant than the other three hundred sixty-some in a given trip around the sun, but i suppose it's true that among any group there will eventually rise a leader.  Ours is a stern, cold, and determined figure: born under the burden of the previous year, he assumes his ( Read more... )

aalllrriiiiiiiiigghht. the sun is out, the birds are chirping, the grass is mowed, the collective aura of thousands of youths is breathing a sigh of relief and welcoming a season of carelessness and the temporary bliss it brings.

it might not be that much, but i am honestly surprised at how cognizant i still am... go me. 21 years done. booyah.

I suppose i'm jumping the gun, as the vernal equinox will occur around the 21st of the month, and the old school calendars recognized the 25th as new year's day, but oh well. The first will begin my twenty second year of being, and there's ( Read more... )

lo! february is upon us! let us look to hibernating rodents for seasonal prescience! let us share in feelings of love through little candy hearts and chocolate and red and pink everything! let us confess our wrongs and proclaim a fast for forty days in a gesture beseeching forgiveness, and then eat pancakes (Shrove Tuesday, aka Pancake Day!).
