Music

i miss my complete immersion into musics of many kinds. i don't hear or listen to as much music as other times in my life.

also, i do even less composing, playing, and performing than listening.

someday, someday...

compact discs and vinyl records are wonderful things. i'll be sad to see them fade-away in the wake of file-based media.

Movies
  • so comcast on-demand free movies are an interesting thing...
  • i think juno, across the universe, and dan in real life were pretty good 2007 trips to the cinema
  • i am a woody allen fan
Televisionso during the writers' strike, i didn't miss too much telivision. i don't think fox should have canceled arrest development; at least they redeem themselves with prison break. i could watch big cats like lions and tigers on tv nature shows for hours and hours and still remain fascinated.
Books

i get to do lots of reading during my railroad commute. i also read over my lunch break. i read books (fiction and non-fiction) and periodicals.

my wife and i subscribe to the harpers and national geographic

annie proulx is probably my favorite novelist and short-story teller. her prose is amazing.

for non-fiction, i like books about language, math, music, and some occasional history.

i often spend much of my reading time reading for class. that means books about compilers and algorithms and finite automata and typing relations.

Hi Zac! I'm sorry about the spam comment! I changed my password today (as advised by a friend) so hopefully that solves the problem. Now I have the fun of checking all of my "friends'" pages to see if their page was spammed from my account...thank goodness I have fewer than 80 friends, hehe :-) I'm so upset that people have a wall comment from me that uses "lol" I never say that!!!

You forgot porn on your list of favorite movies; just wanted to let you know. :) I've about had it with us missing you and Mary Beth when you're here. I've all but demanded a Chicago performance as soon as possible. Miss you both.
Bethany

Hope you guys are enjoying all the weddings this summer!

I'm sad we couldn't hang out when you were here, especially because everything was so hectic when you came to visit the CSO. I think Ben is booking something for the weekend that Fike is going to be in Chicago; wanna make some plans?

Thanks, and I hope everything's going great! Tell MB I said hey!
