Hey, it's been a full month since I've posted anything, and while I don't have the time right now for a full-blown post, I thought I'd at least treat y'all to the beginnings of a song that came into my head while I was taking my "constitutional" this morning.

I have my dream of you ( Read more... )

Today was a good day. I finally finished my paper on language and consciousness, so I rewarded myself by (finally) listening to Before These Crowded Streets for the first time. I also worked on switching from Windows Media Player (yuck) to dbPowerAmp (for me this kind of thing is fun ( Read more... )
