Update Time!
So yeah, finals are almost over. The last one is this afternoon at five. My honors thesis is offically turned in, and being signed off on. Yay! So the semester draws to a close. And, for a brief moment, I can take a breath and relax. That is, until classes start again on the 17th for Maymester.
So some reports.
One, I saw George Carlin Saturday night at the Fox. Wow. I had never dreamed I would get the chance to see him live, so when I found the tickets on sale back in Feb, I jumped on them. A $100 later, Erik and I found ourselves sitting in the first balcony, front row, house left. Wow. That was wonderful. He did a mix of new and old material, so allot of it was new to me, which I enjoyed. Some of it, the opening and closing, were so new that he was reading from notes still. I felt really honored to be in one of the first crowds to hear it. The best part of the act had to be the "Why I like mass disasters" bit, which was nifty. He also did a "Suicide Channel" routine, which was hilarious. However, I need to email him with "Dead Men Do Tell Tales" which has far better novel suicides than some of his ideas. Reality is stranger than we can imagine some time. Btw, I heartily recomend the book.
On another front, I'm working on updating allot of my site now that I have time. In particular, Blogger (my blog service) has added a TONE of new features, including (da-da-ta-da!) comments and a RSS feed. Woot! So for those of you who have been frustrated by the lack of an ability to comment on my rantings, you'll be able to now! And those of you on live journal will be able to add my feed to your friends listings. Yay! In addition to all of this, I'll be redesigning the front page, adding allot of stuff, including absinthe mixes, and rebuilding other areas which are long neglected.
So yeah. Lots of stuff. Expect to see more stuff, and some interesting updates, sometime in the next month or so.
