As of a quarter to one o’clock on January 23, 2012, I am sitting on my new couch in my new living room in my new duplex while my girlfriend plays Super Mario on my super Nintendo across the room from me. This very opening statement would have seemed downright impossible if presented to me from January 23, 2011. So much of my life has changed over ( Read more... )

First and foremost I wanted to acknowledge the significance of John Campbell Ross' passing yesterday. He was Australia's last surviving World War I veteran, as well as the oldest living Australian after the May 15 death of E. Beatrice Riley. A news article about the late Mr. Ross can be found here.

This may be slightly late, but here's the rundown of ( my Memorial Day weekend. )

I've been a very very very very bad Clower about updating, but in all honesty there hasn't been much to write about. Since the vacation in Florida some six weeks ago, things have been fairly quiet here in Johnsylvania. I've bought many a book for this upcoming semester and of course did many a show on The Beyond Radio Network. One such show was ( Read more... )
