So I've been out of touch with the blogosphere (I always wanted to use that word) for quite some time; this is largely the result of the fact that our apartment seems to get and lose free wireless access on a random basis. Another contributing factor is probably the fact that I'm now working six days a week. And when I'm not working, I tend to be reading or hanging out with people. Still, I'm going to try to keep things a little more up-to-date in the future.
Tomorrow at 1:00 is the world cup final between Italy and France. Italy has my bet, since France had a shaky start and last game. However, I'm not strongly rooting for either team.
My obsession with the Mountain Goats is continuing to deepen. John Darnielle is a phenomenal songwriter; I wish I could some even close to capturing the way he uses simple symbols and ideas to create huge impact and communicate deep ideas and characters. I've also been listening quite a bit to the Drive-By Truckers and Jens Lekman.
I'll write more later, but now I need to go take a shower.
