Don’t Kick Food!

I’ve moved.

I’ve been listening to a lot of the Hold Steady and Okkervil River.

I’ve been reading some books called Word Freak, The High Window, loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection, and Maps and Legends.

I’ve started library school again - wonder how long it will last this time?

I’ve been given new work responsibilities.

I’ve been beating back anxiety with all the subtlety of the woman who smashes Kanye West’s face in with a shovel in that one music video for a song that may or may not be called “Flashing Lights”.

I’ve been playing Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Geometry Wars 2 and Soul Calibur IV and Rock Band.

I’ve also been playing Scrabble and guitar and piano.

Does anyone want an old film enlarger? It probably works. It looks pretty cool, but it’s just sitting in pieces in the corner of the dining room and I don’t want it there any more.

I struggled for a while to write an intro for the following screen capture of a CNN.com page. I tried to be witty, I tried to be scholarly; in the end, I figured it best to just let the juxtaposition of the main story and the developing story be their own comment.
