Anyhow, I just wanted to sort of introduce a couple of things that ought to be popping up soon.
1. Book Review. I've agreed to be part of the blog tour for Andrew Peterson's North! Or Be Eaten (tee hee - yes, that is pretty much a me-title... only I didn't write it...), which means I'll be giving a few thoughts on the book and such. Look for that somewhere between September 14 - 18.
2. Story. I've been hashing out an allegoryish over the last week or so. It's been slow-going for the most part; finally started coming along this morning. I'm trying to finish that up before it dries out and gets dusty.
3. Songs. I've added this handy little mixpod-thingamajig to the sidebar over there. It lets you make your own music playlist and paste it up wherever, and in the spirit of conforming to a me-centered culture - oh, no, wait. The point of this is to not be me-centered. Anyhow, I've taken to referencing songs in my posts, and I'm always trying to foist music off onto other people, so I thought: why not make that a regular habit? There are many songs that have had pretty deep impacts on my life, so I'm thinking of making a weekly or bimonthly habit of writing a post on why/how a specific song has effected me, and then try to get it up on that playlist so you can hear it - because while I try to be a bit selective with lyrics quality, everyone knows that (lyrics + music = uber win) > (lyrics). There's only one song up now - I've referenced it before - but I'll give it its own post before I continue.
Such are my plans. Reality, no doubt, shall tell a vastly different tale.
Someday--someday when there aren't applications to fill out, or over Thanksgiving break--can I borrow the two books by this illustrious Andrew Peterson? I feel as though I ought to make his acquaintance in a literary sense.
Looking forward to the story. :o)
Hehe...now I am wondering what happened to the old/new layout. ;-)
Oooh, yes, I'm looking forward to North! Or Be Eaten---the review. :-D And I'm on that queue, too, for borrowing, right?
And since I can't seem to edit my comment above, let me tell you I love the quote below your title! :-D
Uber win, totally! Now just post the lyrics... but you're getting to that, I suppose.
It's kinda weird how music affects people. Amazing, but still not exactly something though about everyday. A song that means a world to one person can be nothing but another song for someone else. Tastes are often acquired by long periods of listening, and the foisting of new stuff is often ignored (sad as it is!).
Perhaps I'd better think some more and put it on my own blog, yes? :P
