fifty years have ridden off into the sunset

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of
the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way
I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while
I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will

Would someone please tell me just why every single web comic I read (okay, maybe that's a slight exaggeration) is coming out with an anthology at exactly the same time?
I sent off the money for CAD about a week ago. Mac Hall only takes PayPal so am waiting for it to come out in stores. And Real Life Comics just announced their book.
Bleh ... I need a US Treasury printing press.

I got a job. That's ... A Good Thing, I guess. ;-) Research work at SBU into analog, digital, and fiberoptic design. I can live with this.
Go me.

Forgot to post here for about a month that there's a new Sister Hazel CD, Lift, due out I believe August 24. I'm hoping for "Firefly" among other things on it ... that'd be nice.
Drew Copeland, the backup singer for SH, is also releasing his side project, No Regrets, that same day. Worries me a bit -- Drew's songs tend not to be as good, IMO. But it should be good. I'll buy it.

I threw away your greatest hits
You left them here the day you split
Your bass guitar and Shaggs CD
Well, they don't mean that much to me right now
I'm going through your things
These days, I'm changing all my strings
I'm gonna write you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?
You won't get too far from me
Believing everything you read
You're wasted in the great unknown
And I am getting ready to dispose
Of all your vintage clothes
Your drugs and every secret code
I'm gonna you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
Where you've been hiding out
Are you getting somewhere
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?
From your red balloon you were
A super-high-tech jet fighter
Floating over planet Earth
Come back down here, I'll show you where it hurts
Take this bitter pill
Is it easy to swallow?
I'm gonna you a letter
I'm gonna write you a book
I wanna see your reaction
I wanna see how it looks
From way up on your cloud
You're never coming down
And are you getting somewhere
Or did you get lost in Amsterdam?

Well today was very interesting for baseball at least. I got to see probably the two greatest closers in their respective tiers of baseball, Huston Street of UT in the College World Series and Eric Gagne of the Dodgers in MLB. Can very clearly see just why these two are so amazing.
Am glad the A's drafted Street. After losing Foulke to the Red Sox, they need an amazing closer to complement their amazing starters. Street looks like he might be it.

Well, I didn't find a job, but I did talk to Professor Djuric, who taught ESE 306.
This is, btw, the class that I hated. It's the one I never went to. Ironically, it would be the one which has the professor that one of my mom's friends just happens to strike up a conversation with at a random dinner, and then passes the information on to me.
The professor then comments that he doesn't know me.
Gee, wonder why not.
Amazingly, I pulled out a B+ in that class. I'm not sure if that's because of him or in spite of him, but either way, he remembers me now. ;-)
Anyway, so I'd asked him for some help with finding summer research to do and he'd given my name to one of the other profs at SBU. Well, nothing came of that, but I just happened to go see him on Monday and ask him about it. The guy never got back to me, so Prof. Djuric calls him up again.
Of course, nothing comes of it while I'm down on Long Island, but the day after I get back, Djuric calls me. And now I get to call the other guy Monday and see if I can get a summer research job. Woo!

I am currently working on an essay entitled The Liberal Christ.
Yes, you read that correctly.
I'm going to let y'all stew over the title for a while. With luck, some of you might even come up with something close to it. ;-)
Ciao!

When I first went out, this is June 2 mind you, it was 50 degrees. I therefore had on a hoodie and sweatpants.
While I was inside a building, it started to thunderstorm.
By the time I got out of said building, it was pretty nice out -- about 70 degrees, sun was shining. Went to bookstore. Planned to take bike ride later. Still in sweatpants mind you but there's a slight breeze so isn't PAINFULLY bad.
When I got out of the bookstore and got home, storm clouds were quite apparent. That was 15 minutes ago. It is now pouring rain, and there is thunder and lightning.
I hate Boston.
