I write poetry, spend hours driving to and from places to read for 3-5 minutes. If I'm not in a car/bus/train/gypsy caravan going to readings and gigs, I'm in my room listening to my music. In short, I'm High Fidelity without the conflicted female love interest. . .

Supposed to get the fridge today, we'll see how that works out. Average daily temp here is currently 25, so button up, buttercup. The noreaster hit us a bit (2-3 inches - but that'll be gone by the time you return). Give me a shout when you get in on Tuesday, and let me know how tired you are after traveling back in time - I'll try to swing by between classes or after my evening one. BTW, St. Pat's falls on a Tuesday - GOD DAMMIT - Ah well... we may have to hit up Scranton the previous Saturday.
Sounds like a helluva place. We're holding down the fort here. The temperature dropped down again yesterday (to about 18 - eighteen, that's right, eight-fuck-in-teen) Today the high is 28 during the day. So we're all wearing our booties. Have tons of fun! I may get my fridge tomorrow (or the day after that, tee fuckin' hee).

Hey! My turkey day was very very chill. Just what I needed. Just relaxed with the family.
I recently bought a Noah and The Whale CD. I also bought Amanda Palmer's solo album. which i am fully in love with. I also saw her live not too long ago. I have recently been listening to a lot of I am the avalanche. Then I'm bouncing in between bands like Nest sorta folky but dark. Some Lisa Gerrard in there. Some Carmina Burana thrown in there. Neurosis that you recommened to my dad. been loving that. A band that opened for Amanda Palmer called The Butchers and the Builders, don't have thier music but I have been listening to them on myspace.
Where do you take your breaths, sir? Well, I'm glad to see you're busy, that's usually a good thing. Have a happy holiday over there, and good luck in everyhting else!
JAMES! I found a quote from when you were on speakerphone. Something like "I don't want people to say 'Oh, Jim Warner, right, the guy who gave me ringworms. '"
