CONSUME!

Ok, things have calmed down a bit now. Graduate school is an emotional endurance race.

I’ve finished “The Song of Susannah” and I’m on to the final book in the Dark Tower Series, “The Dark Tower.” We’ve almost reached the clearing at the end of the path, my friends. My initial concern was that there is a character somewhere in this book based in some part on the scary clown from “It” and there are just some nights that would be too creepy to deal with that sort of scariness. Fortunately, I know the character’s name and one of the chapter titles has it. So in theory I’ll be able to hold off reading that part until I’m not all alone, or something. Yeah, right.

I’ve also discovered too new bands to enjoy: “Cat Power” and “The Decemberists.” What a joy it is to hear a band for the first time and really enjoy them. Sometimes you have to listen a couple of times before that happens. And sometimes it’s love at first sight, no?
