The End?

Spring...has sprung. Is there much more to say about that? Well yes, frisbee at 5pm in the park, be there or be square.

After ten months of research, outlining, drafting, editing, re-editing and re-re-editing, my senior thesis is in the books! While there still may be weeks left in the semester, relaxation has commenced...With San Francisco but five days away, and the Langorne Slim show this evening, life does not get much better than this...oh wait, I watched Empire Strikes Back last night! This viewing was a direct result of a lightsaber sparring match I had with a resident of mine a few nights ago (see pictures bellow).

Not much else to update, just enjoying the days as they come. Apartment hunting, job searching, existential exploration...sometimes I feel like a neo-urban cultural circumnaviagtor of experiences...with a rockin' soundtrack. enjoy life...

Over done, not cajun style...

Good morning...This post has been a long time coming, and I due apologize for the lack of presence throughout the month of March. But here we go with some heavy duty updates...

Since I've been here last, I've enjoyed all those shows I listed before, geeked out at a comic book convention, and have reached near completion on the year-long thesis. We've been uber-busy at admissions as well (hence the lack of posts) with tons of events for incoming students. Its been great having so many prospective students on campus, nothing better than being busy at work...

As always, there are some amazing shows on the horizon! Saul Williams, who you may know as a spoken word artist is playing at the Paradise next Tuesday in support of his hip-hop record. If you are a fan of TV on The Radio, Williams is in the similar vein. Folk/blues/raw/rockin' Langhorne Slim and dirty/funk-filled Aggrolites are playing at The Middle East next Thurs and the following Tues respectively. Excellent evenings of relief in the midst of final papers and real-world planning.

I just found out that I will be doing an awesome trip to San Francisco with the admissions office, working a national college fair. While I'm there, Rilo Kiley is playing downtown. I love that city, I love to talking to people and I love that band, it is truly a win, win, win situation.

As you've heard throughout the year, I've been diligently scribing away at my honors thesis, and we are all happy to hear that it is nearing completion!! Come Monday, the paper will be finalized and turned in for review. To describe the excitement to come would fill a novella and still would not come close to fully articulating said excitement...perhaps I will embark on the great American Novel. Thoughts?

Back to footnotes, bibliographies and title pages...be back soon, I promise! enjoy life...
