Stillness in the Sound by Cameron Yergler
This is...
2010
was, overall, a pretty good year for me.
I didn’t read nearly as many books as I hoped (is it really only about 25? My lowest count in years). I didn’t shoot as much as I should have, especially in the last month or so. My grandmother died, which has left atmosphere around the word ‘family’ to be something I barely recognize. Cooking more, simply, didn’t take....
It's 53 degrees out, in December.

(To answer your question, yes, it’s noon and i’m still not dressed yet.)

I found it hard to know how or where to start this thing up. Grant helped me out. Here he is on he radio, just a few hours ago, talking about the best songs of 2010. At least that’s what he tells me. I don’t know, I haven’t listened to it yet. I’m too busy blogging about it. But I…
Looking forward to listening to this later.
Thoughts at 2:25am
Remember earlier today when I thought that I would get up at 8:00am on Tuesday and get some things done?
Sigh. It’s not looking good. Getting off Tumblr might help.

I’m reading The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking while my sister tells us about The Story of Creation class she will be taking next semester. It is possible that two more different sisters have never existed.

Reminder:
I will be hosting a karaoke night at Cans tonight. I will be singing a lot of songs and you should too! I’ve never been in charge of anything that involves the use of a microphone, so come and laugh at my bad jokes.
I will be making my boss sing ‘Torn, by Natalie Imbruglia, which is something that shouldn’t be missed.
Starts around 9:00, but this will be happening alllll...

Hey everyone, we’re getting the band back together!
One of my favorite bands, Capybara, is raising money for their next album. I went on tour with Capybara for 4 months and I have to say, if there were ever four dudes you’d want to give money to, it’d be some guys with terminal illnesses. But you should also give money to Capybara!
You should also watch this video, because it’s...

distantheartbeats asked: Re: Richard Yates- oh my God, after The Easter Parade, so do I. I pretty much want to buy everything he's written and just read it all. I'm settling for buying just one or two new ones. I'm definitely getting Eleven Kinds of Loneliness, his shorts. Anything you'd recommend? (Apart from the obvious Revolutionary Road, of course).

I was not aware this is happening, and, obviously, this is not good.
