Why can't you put SGs on ignore?

Edit: I don't think I'm going to talk religion with anyone on the internet ever again. Whenever someone brings it up I'll just put 'em on ignore and save us all the time.

Let's hope, huh? I mean, Bush bringing peace to Israel would be just like God's sense of humor.

Oh, and today's Married to the Sea is pretty awesome.

What shall I do when my lord's at the window
What shall I do when my lord's at the door
What shall I do when my lord comes a'calling
trailing the earth from his grave on the floor?

Oh man, you guys need to check this out. Sometimes Dylan really reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.

Okay, so I've been a ghost around here lately. I don't see that changing anytime soon and I feel like I owe you guys an explanation. I don't really know where to begin, though, so suffice it to say I've been in kind of rough shape since shortly before I joined SG. There's been responsibility and stress on levels I never really had to deal with before. I responded by tuning out the responsibility and stress of my day to day life. I've been using computer games to substitute for actual challenges and this place to substitute for the more immediate relationships I've been neglecting. I can't really let it go on any longer. Things have gotten kind of desperate, and it's starting to look like I'm going to have to either give up on the computer or on law school. I'll be trying to strike some sort of balance in the months to come. I like you guys too much to say I'm never coming back, but if you see too much of me around here refer me back to this post.

Wish me luck.

Also, I heard if you wear your clothes inside out and walk backwards down the road on Hallowe'en you'll meet a witch. I'm off to go try it.

Update: No sign of witches, but I chickened out where the streetlights end. That is to say I made it about twenty feet. We'll see if they come a'knocking at my door.

It's my first SG-versary today. Yay.

Since it's October, the spookiest month of them all, I want to get kind of a regular spooky something or other going on here. I'll start with a Robert Frost poem about dreaming about the end of the world. I think I've put this up here before, but I've been here a whole year and who can keep track. And besides, we're going to be systematic about it this time around. (Did you know Robert Frost was born in California?)

Once by the Pacific

The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God's last Put out the Light was spoken.




Also, I want the world to be more like a Tom Waits video. Or I want it to be less like a Tom Waits video. I'm not sure.



In other news, I think I need to smash my computer. I'm seriously addicted to Video Games. Like, they occupy the place in my life that drugs or alcohol occupy in the lives of functional addicts/alcoholics. Problematic.

The Amazing Lily. I don't know this kid, but she's unbelievable.


And some Josh Ritter. I dated a girl for five years who got to Oberlin the year after Mr. Ritter graduated. She tried to get me into him back then, but it wasn't until the album Hello Starling came out that I really gave him a chance.





With Erin McKeown



From the new album. Not the newest album, but the new album. He used to be funny looking. I don't know when he got all handsome.

I love the Be Good Tanyas.

I was doing a fairly random image search this morning (I was looking for 'flowers of the forest'), and I came upon this picture. I thought it was pretty hilarious. In the 'The Lady of Shallot is about to die and you're telling her to have a magic day' way.
