Shout Outs & Snow Days

One last look at the old header. How it will be missed, I do not know.

Thesis

Winter is the cruelest season (thanks, TS). Though, if you look out my window right now, the ice-covered branches in the courtyard resemble giant spiderwebs lined with dew. Today is the first anniversary of my and Rachel's relationship! Dating, fam. We celebrated with some pizza (old couples are allowed to indulge on cravings - who needs reservations?). Of course, over the year there have been a few reservations, but you're looking at a healthy and dedicated relationship at present - and future, one (I) would would hope. And it goes on and on and on, and it goes on and on and on. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Sometimes
I throw my hands up in the air. It was a splendid anniversary, fam -

> Mother Bear's
> Freaks & Geeks

Well, sure, it doesn't sound like much. You should've been there, though!

What's Going On

Well, it's been snowing and icing and raining and everything in between. A lot. Classes have been cancelled. The sidewalks are treacherous. It's a veritable winter wonderland out there! I've been digging it, insomuch as smiling in the cold is digging. I've managed to capitalize on these extra hours by watching movies and reading a lot.

Also, I'm listening to way too much music for my own good.

2011 (in descending order of greatness):

Destroyer, Earth, James Blake, G-Side, Fergus & Geronimo, Lil B "The Based God," Akron/Family, Burzum, Smith Westerns, Braids, Minutiae, Yuck, Iron & Wine

Other Things: My recovery from a dastardly sinus infection. DISJOINTED THOUGHTS right now.

I've also discovered that I have a lot of extracurricular reading with which to keep up, which is to say: FAM! You're all blogging on the regular now!

REDESIGN

#METASWAG looks totally different. Fear not, the writing will remain sloppy.

Conclusions

I should probably pack up. I still have to read Jean Toomer's Cane and Watt's essay on "Realism and the Novel Form." What can ya do? Thanks for reading, y'all.
