Black Angels - Crumb

Well, day 2 is done - only 3 more this week and I get to enjoy the slivers of weekend that aren't taken up by graduation or the accompanying parties. (Not that I mind the parties, but the whole graduation schtick is a little over-rated - only because it's frowned upon to bring a book).

There are times I wonder about the world around me, its machinations, and the people it brings into your life, takes out of your life, and how those influences alter you. Mildly abstract for a Tuesday night at 9:18pm? Probably - but life is grand at changing while you are not looking, and introducing things to you that both enrich it and challenge you to hold true to your values. Obtuse reference? shrug

Well, I am getting sleepy, but I thought I would pass along some things I happened across today: One being an article on sleep needs and cycles I found interesting (and strangely fitting, given my current state of semi-sonambulism). Another regarding the Nintedo DS - definitely a purchase I see in my future (even over the PSP, uber-geek as it is, the DS is just fun and much more innovative in its gameplay) - and on a fortuitous note: my boss, Paul Worosello, found a lot of drill that Michael Gaines had written for KF in the mid to late 90s - what a goldmine of resources to see how he approaches writing for HS bands. Very excited to analyze and make use of that info.

Alright - off to bed. And yes, in case you are wondering - Black Angels has been on the headphones this entire time - what a cool piece, even if it makes you physically sick to listen to sometimes - eliciting a reaction is effective, even if not puppy dogs and candy canes...

Oh, and since this blog is as yet bereft of photos, thought I would throw one out here:


Sheetz, Gallikers, and a roadtrip - the ultimate trifecta (augmented by the MTO off camera on the hood of the car). Photo credits to the inestimable Holly Carlton.
