The second Ghostlight: Showcase was yesterday. It was bigger and better than last years. Once again I put Peter & the Wulftones together to perform some a capella. Due to demand we rehearsed three songs this time. Last year people called for an encore and we had to decline on account of only knowing one song ( Read more... )

This last weekend was a highlight of my fall. Miles came down on Thursday eve, and Friday we set out bright and early for Santa Cruz on the 17 bus. We arrived, and were picked up by Kirk and Lauren in the downtown ( Read more... )

I've spent the morning obliterating all the West Wing episodes on my TiVo. I think the whole Donna's-Car-Getting-Blown-Up/Israel-Palestine/Leo-Falls-Over story arc is my favorite in the entire series ( Read more... )

It is 5:57 AM. I have not slept yet. I've been pretty bad about procrastination this semester, but that points almost completely moot, because within 7 hours, I'll be completely done with this semester and be on summer vacation ( Read more... )

These past few mornings I've been half-waking, then laying in bed somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness for hours. While that itself isn't particularly unpleasant, I know I've been having insanely detailed and vibrant dreams that seem to last for years, but of course, I can't recall anything when I get up.
