Don't worry, I'm back now.
It's just that I've been so busy. Yeah, I know. Lame.
It's not like anything especially exciting happened during the time I was away. I've been reading, working, or hanging with my "buddy." Well, I don't know what else to call him... But we did fly some kites on Monday. An unexpected date. I love it when someone calls you and asks if you want to go fly kites. Flying 74 cent kites from Osco in Lake Park is priceless. Besides, I got a homemade dinner out of the deal too. Was better than doing homework.
I'm not sure what it is about spring, but every year around this time I found myself listening to a lot of jazz. Last night it was Eric Dolphy, today it was Thelonious Monk, right now Coltrane/Monk live at Carnegie Hall. It's fantastic, and I'm not even stoned... I remember when I lived in that little apartment in Eau Claire, waiting for spring, listening to Thelonious Monk for the first time (stoned out of my mind of course, but I was on the pot a lot then) and becoming one with my futon. Then after I came out of the initial daze I would write and write and write. I was in a creative writing course that semester because I had to be. I couldn't imagine technical writing being in any way intriguing. So I took this course and it opened some portal in me that was unaware of any writing capabilities at all. I still don't fancy myself as a writer really, only if the mood strikes me, if I have time, and so on. I'm really interested to see what will happen to all of that when I leave the country for a year. Maybe I'll be inspired to write the great American expatriate novel. However, this is not particularly likely.
So I've been thinking about an ipod. I really actually need one now that I'm leaving the country for a year. I can't possibly lug along my large collection of music, unless that music is contained in the small, sleek, little ipod that everyone and their brother seem to own. What's the deal with the new video ipod anyway? I just want a regular one. Do I get the 60GB or the 30GB? I'm not sure. I might need to consult those who own them already. Feel free to add some input to this post.
I need to be productive now. Hopefully it's won't be another month before I post again...
