Sometimes things happen that just make me wonder if I've jumped in over my head in some situations, like taking 3 ULTRA-hard courses this semester... just stressing over knowing what I have due within the next 2 weeks, culminating with the GRE on Dec 9, and then back home on Dec 12. I've discovered that I really like West Hartford, yeah I've complained about it before so before you think "Jeremy?!" I mean it's home for me, this is where I grew up, it's the place I feel most comfortable more or less... so I guess you can take Jeremy out of West Hartford, but you can't take the West Hartford out of Jeremy. Sigh... knowing it's back to Charlotte tomorrow, but then I'm back here in about two weeks, for a break of 3 weeks... ironic isn't it... the time between Thanksgiving and Winter Break is shorter than I'll be home for Winter Break.. and then of course it's barely 2 months till Spring Break which will see mom, dad, and I winging out to Tucson... something I'm already looking forward to, and maybe too much:) I don't want to rush the year thinking ahead... but it's my second home, and I can't wait to get back... Yet back to jumping in over my head there's other stuff too... that needn't much detail here lol. Anyway on to the second part of my usual pondering type post... album review! Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus 3- "Ole! Tarantula". Hitchcock has been making music since the 70s, and was a big folky artist out of London in the 80s. The Venus 3 are none other than Peter Buck guitarist in R.E.M., and Bill Rieflin and Scott McCaughey both are touring members of R.E.M. and are members of the Minus 5. The sound is really cool, they know how to rock out (folky-roots type) but then write some really fun songs like "Belltown Ramble"... looking forward to this one staying in the rotation for a while!
Shalom.
