Don't Stop Me Now

Well, I suppose I better post, just to assure my faithful readers (?) that neither I nor this blog are dead. Living at home, I very rarely have access to the internet during my free time. The only time I have high-speed access is at work, and unfortunately blogging from work isn't feasible. When I'm at home, I have dialup, which would be fine for simply uploading text, but I don't want my family to watch me write, so I have to use a proxy server so I can write from my room, but the proxy server that I have is a piece of poo, and it makes posting more trouble than I care to go though. Nothing exciting is happening anyway. I usually hang out with Monroe friends after work, stay out too late, then end up getting too little sleep and nearly killing myself from falling asleep at the wheel during my hour and fifteen minutes in to work in the morning. A good time, to be sure.

Modest Mouse... After hearing good things about them from Dan and others last semester, and then having them indepedently recommended to me by John (with whom I went to the Phish concert the other week), I gave them a good listen. They're great. The remind me of the Pixies, but they're good enough and original enough that they're good in their own right, not as sounding like the Pixies. Speaking of which, I'm going to see the Pixies in November. I'm already geeked. I need to burn a CD of their songs with which I'm not too familiar and listen to it a few times during my commute. Having an 80 minute commute is very convenient as far as music is concerned. I burn a full CD, start listening at the beginning of the trip, and the last song ends when I arrive, give or take a few minutes.

That whole last paragraph was a series of tangents, each of which should be worked into full thougths. But I don't feel like sorting thought it. I need to get offline anyway, someone needs to make a phone call. How I loathe dialup. Bah.
