No blog today. And actually, I've been neglecting the blog lately and I know it. I am not sure if this is temporary or more permanent, but there's a reason for it.
It's certainly nothing personal - I've just been listening to more music via Pandora than as individual albums. Pandora is great - the only problem is that the artists it suggests for me are somewhat obscure, hence the music is less easy to acquire through my normal conduits. I really like the random nature of it, though.
I did purchase the new Sigur Ros album this week, and while I'm only five songs in on my first listen, I really like it. This album seems to be more uptempo and actively involves the listener more than their past work; I don't know that this is good or bad but it is a little different. Hopefully a more detailed review will be forthcoming.
In other news:
I had a pretty great weekend. Everything came together very nicely. I don't know that any of it means anything, in the long run (probably not, given my inherent ability to make poor decisions) but it was certainly nice.

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.
