    Take my shoes off, throw them in the lake and I'll be two steps on the water.

    Here I am, studying (supposedly) and fretting about my midterms.

    Why did I start this blog? I think part of the reason was to maintain a reading diary so I can keep track of what I thought at the time. This is a practice that would have been good to maintain during The Man Who Was Thursday, Snow Angels & The Cellist Of Sarajevo.

    What am I reading these days? I would like to have time to finish City of Thieves, which is entertaining and devastating in equal ways. I'm re-reading Amy Fusselman, her creative non-fiction piece The Pharmacist's Mate that was published my Mcswy's. It's all I wanted to know about fertility specialists, accordions and merchant mariners, and all so elegant, sparse and humane.

    Things feel good. I wish I had spent more time on my studying on the weekend, but family stuff... you know. I feel better about my linguistics now than I did a few days ago. Consonants and semantics seem OK, but vowels and componential things... I don't know. This will probably be the only linguistics class I ever take.

    Am really excited about the new Joseph Arthur album as well as Mates Of State. U2 Live In Paris is excellent. Downloaded Exile On Main Street again. Good times.
