This week, a blog that I have been following for a while came to its end. Pop Songs 07-08 finally covered all the R.E.M. songs that exist, for now, anyway, and concluded with a couple posts of reader questions answered by Michael Stipe.
For those of you who aren't R.E.M. fans, well, I suppose you don't think much of my opinion and probably aren't reading this, anyway. But for those who are, I'd encourage you to check out Pop Songs 07-08 and at least look up some of your favorite songs, if not read the blog in its entirety. Matthew Perpetua (cheesy pen name or not) has clearly put a great deal of effort into analyzing all this great music, and it seems a shame not to recognize his efforts. Actual album reviews return next week! Maybe.
FYI, Pop Songs 07-08 is linked at right.
In Other News:
I got more bruises. Yay!
I may have found a part-time job. This is something I'd be doing because I want to; the money, while unnecessary, is generally welcome. More to come on this, maybe, but you'd really have to ask.

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.
