Okay, I'm sorry... I've been neglecting you. email to someone | printer friendly
What can I say, I've been incredibly busy. That's not necessarily a good excuse, so, let me extrapolate. I've been doing stuff.

Stuff such as discussing the global-political ramifications of international trade relations and class structure.

Oh, that and soccer.

And beer.

Oh God. Speaking of beer. I just took a sip of the stout I brewed a year or two ago. I don't have much left, but I put a few in the fridge in preparation for sampling with my new stout, and, I've got to say, I love my first stout so much. It's so tasty. It's practically perfect in every way.

Speaking of love and being practically perfect in every way, I've been spending a ton of time with my girl friend. And by ton, I mean a lot, but not nearly enough. She's totally cool. I can't think of a single friend I have who wouldn't be cool with having her hang out too (unless they just wanted a 'guys night out', then, well, they probably wouldn't want her around). Anyway, she's pretty awesome.

So, to recap: Love my beer in that I thoroughly enjoy it. Love my girlfriend in that I long to be with her and feel that my existence is better because of her.

See the difference.

Words are fun.

Speaking of words that are fun, I had a chance earlier tonight to engage in a conversation about my favorite literary theory, to which I profoundly stated, "Reader Response Theory."

In that regard, I feel the need to public apologize to my favorite teacher from Rhode Island College: Richard Feldstein. I felt bad because earlier tonight I couldn't remember his name at the time and I wanted to give him a shout out.

Not to go off too much on it, but this is the guy who made me excited about literary theory. Specifically, he was a passionate teacher who was psyched to talk about a subject he was passionate about. And, well, that carried over to reaching me and, in doing so, lead me to a combination of my favorite concepts in application.

So, there's the plug for this guy. If you're at Rhode Island College, and looking for a great teacher, you'll be hard pressed to find better.

If you come across this guy randomly at a bar, buy him a round and just ask him to talk about anything; it will probably be interesting.

Now, in relation to Escapist Reality related events... well, there isn't necessarily much to report on. I recent borrowed X-Men Legends from a buddy of mine. So, I've played a bit of the game. More than anything else it makes me want to go back reading comics. There was one section of trivia within the game that I nearly aced. It got me nostalgic for the past. When I was spending hundreds of dollars a month on comics.

Now I just spend hundreds of dollars a month on dance.

One is less geeky then the other.

Yay. I'm less geeky than me from several years ago.

Granted, I often hang out with friends talking about work related things that deal entirely with web programming... so, I don't know, we'll call it even.

But, the game is a pretty solid opportunity to spend short periods of time destroying absolutely everything in sight. I wonder how much fun it would be if I didn't love comics. But, especially if you're a fan boy, it's a great amalgamation of escapist genres.

In the music realm, my hands are starting to get callused from drumming on the table while listening to punk music. I think I need to find a band soon else I'll find myself without my totally manly, seemingly manicured hands.

I've been slowly reading through a book loaned by a friend. I'd mention its name, but, well, I don't want to look up a reference to it because I don't want the ending spoiled. Apparently, the back of the book ruins the entire story. So much so that the text was blacked out with a marker by my friend so it wouldn't ruin it for anyone else. Whether or not he blacks out every copy of that book he finds, I'm guessing not, but, well, he might. It'd be a cool story if he did.

In TV news, Family Guy is on right now as I write this post. It's the spoof on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It includes such classics as, "Pure inebriation"

Take a drink,
and you'll sink,
to a state of pure inebriation.
You'll be tanked,
like the whole Irish nation.

When you drink enough of my beer,
you will find this magic brew'll,
Make your every joke a jewel.
You'll drive drunker than Oksana Bayul.

Go on buds drink my suds,
'till you've reached that pure inebriation.
though the beer may be free,
you're just renting it from me.

Great episode, great movie to take inspiration from... perfect execution of pop-culture references. Something to inspire towards.
