When you spend an hour typing an almost two-week-long review of your life, and then you accidentally hit the 'back' button on your browser.
And then you try to go back... but it's all gone. Yeah. And then you just want to cry, and you don't even try to type it all out again....

I saw U2 last night. And it was amazing. It was amazing in so many ways. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. I was brought to tears. I was risen out of seat to yell and scream and protest and sing along and weep along with everyone else. U2 is the best live band in the world. I don't care what you think about...

Reminds me somewhat of a brief period wherein I considered getting a Corso line tattooed onto my forearm. Granted, "what if the strawberry were pushed into the mountain" doesn't hold much appeal anymore. But, still.
Congrats on the Ohio U acceptance. I had a friend who taught there for three semesters. A good school, or so I hear.

Thursday was one of the best nights. I went downtown with Sara and Shay and Sara's love interest Ed. My town was hosting it's annual Candlelight Christmas... basically there are candles lining the sidewalks and all of the shops are open late and there are refreshments and specials in all of the stores and Christmas music plays in the streets, etc. We walked up and...

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Plot 2006 Tour
James Gregory reports:
Having traded their Jesus and Mary Chain posters for bootlegs of The Band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are ready to take the down-home fuzz of their well-received third album, Howl, on the road. Yup, the trio will be bringing their Americana to America, on a two-month trek in February 2006, spreading the gospel according to retro from sea to shining sea (and one stop in Canada).
Next week, the BRMC will don their Santa hats and bring some yuletide cheer to L.A. with a pair of acoustic gigs at the Hotel Caf. We recommend shouting out requests for covers of such unplugged classics of two-wheeled glory as "1952 Vincent Black Lightning", "Speeding Motorcycle", and "Black Boys on Mopeds".

I like that survey. You are more prepared for parties than I. Mmmmm. Honey wheat pretzels sound wonderful.
So glad you got the week off. The media class activity sounds fun: I can identify with making sure that it is done. U2 will be lovely on that Saturday.
Seeing old friends can be a good time for reflection on where you are now, but don't be too harsh on yourself, just be honest.

We had an inch of snow, maybe even a whole two inches, and everyone got stuck and we made the national news. Every year. It sucks. Moving kind of sucks, but it might be good for me.
