Why Did the Chicken Cross the Mobius Strip?

"When the President talks to God,
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women's rights?
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike?
When the President talks to God?"
--Bright Eyes, When the President Talks to God.

Dear Sean,

Stop the presses. I have actually logged on to the internet to do something other than research for the first time in oh, eight months.

I am in New Orleans. Yesterday was Jeff's birthday, and I took some time off to come hang out. He and G are finally married and they are expecting. We'll probably bum around town later today, then do some recording tonight. I saw L (#2) last night, who says I should give her a call if Jeff and G decide to act like old people tonight, and we will go out drinking.

I am to visit L at the end of next month. I miss her terribly. I really did get spoiled when she was living down here. Perhaps you are thinking now that you have missed a substantial amount of backstory. Indeed you have, but eight months is a long time to summarize, and much of the backstory I have promised not to tell. I intend to keep that promise. All you need know from me is that she has gone to do something and that I admire her greatly for it.

Pre-production for my album continues. Naturally, the process was slowed both when Jeff and G married and when they found out that she is pregnant. We're going to record "Silver Tongue" first today and it will be the leadoff track for the album. There will be 13 songs total, split into two sets of 6 divided by "The Universe Between." Each song in one set corresponds with another in the same position in the other set.

There isn't all that much to say, old friend. Life is life and it moves like it always has. For now, my life is good. I love programming -- it is the first job that I have had that I enjoyed. I cannot begin to explain what it is like to work a job that I love, but let us say that it is a massive fucking relief. Music is coming along well, my family is ok, etc.

Well, that's all I can stand to type for now. I just awoke and I need a shower and a substantial amount of caffeine. Maybe I can update this thing on a more regular basis, but don't hold your astral breath :).

WYW,

P.S. -- The answer to the geek joke in the title, obviously: "To get to the same side."
