I can't possibly think about what to blog about today. I'm sure something is coming along, but I just don't have an album in mind. Hopefully this weekend, or early next week, I can get to the library and pick up some more music. Maybe later today there will be an Okkervil River blog, if you're lucky.
On a non-music note, I finished reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road this week. What an incredible book. I certainly have a strong opinion about it, but I don't know that I have the words today. I read the entire thing over the course of three or four days, and I'm glad I did. If you haven't read this book yet, by all means go to your public library. I've read a couple of his other books - excellent works by any standard - but this is probably my favorite. I'll be hard-pressed not to buy a copy of it somewhere.
In other news:
I'm so happy to have it be Friday that it's not funny.
The Author
Well, not really.
About Me
- Bones of an Idol
- Professionally, I work in information technology for a school. I do a little of everything: support, training, database, website, purchasing, strategy. My job appeals to my love of challenges, solving problems, and helping people.
Outside of work, I enjoy exercise (I used to practice capoeira, but largely run and lift weights now), writing short fiction, and playing the guitar. I am a largely self-taught guitarist and generally do not rock very hard.
I am currently enrolled in the MBA program at Drake University. Focusing on my coursework has curtailed my 'hobbies' somewhat, but I plan to graduate in Fall of 2013.
I am partial to travel, cats, black licorice and peanut butter.
