When I Feel Like I Could Have Gone Longer
Man, I really hate to be one of those people who complains or bemoans school work (sorry Natalie, et al), because frankly I know no one cares, although you can probably relate, BUT let me just say that it sucks a lot to get behind in art school. Trying to catch up on projects that consume time, energy, creativity, and money is infinitely tougher than trying to catch up on a few papers or written assignments (although I have plenty of those, too.)
I got my stitches out today. Both wounds are healed, but the scar on one of them is pretty major and it might take a while to heal up to some degree of normality. The other (on my thumb) is fine, if not scab-ilicious. I don't have full range of motion with my thumb, though, which is kinda scary. Doc told me to wait a week or two and see what happens, but I'm not optimistic. She mentioned a surgery, I think, but what she said was something like "PD"? It was initials or something. I don't know why she would do that to me.

It's pretty awesome. Apparently both Colin Meloy and several members of The Walkmen love the Pogues (this is redemption for insulting you, Natalie?). I listened to them go on and on about awesome certain songs are, and then I listened to them, and I honestly don't get it. Maybe Shane McGowan's uber-Irish voice turns me off, but the music doesn't do much for me either. I don't like Irish music much. There. I said it. I do, however, love Cory Branan, and he seems to take a lot of musical ideas from Irish folk songs, and often professes his love of them when he performs. But I do not love them.
