Oh man, you guys need to check this out. Sometimes Dylan really reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.

Okay, so I've been a ghost around here lately. I don't see that changing anytime soon and I feel like I owe you guys an explanation. I don't really know where to begin, though, so suffice it to say I've been in kind of rough shape since shortly before I joined SG. There's been responsibility and stress on levels I never really had to deal...

I wish you well, sir. I hope all goes well for you.

And while I remember:
You turned me on to ScaryGoRound. For that, I am in your debt.

It's my first SG-versary today. Yay.
Since it's October, the spookiest month of them all, I want to get kind of a regular spooky something or other going on here. I'll start with a Robert Frost poem about dreaming about the end of the world. I think I've put this up here before, but I've been here a whole year and who can keep track....

I never thought there was anything odd about it being called "Australian First Aid" until now. Three people mentioned this! I guess it would be because of our climate and dangerous animals. We have horrible things like the blue ringed octopus, stone fish and the most venomous snakes in the world. Also a lot of people suffer from sun stroke (especially tourists) because they don't realise how harsh our climate is. Tourists often forget to drink enough water. I remember the First Aid teacher telling us that female Japanese tourists were the worst because when trekking through the bush, they refused to duck behind a tree to pee like everyone else (due to cultural differences) and so deliberately wouldn't drink a lot of water and would get really dehydrated.

no holiday snaps?
The Amazing Lily. I don't know this kid, but she's unbelievable.
And some Josh Ritter. I dated a girl for five years who got to Oberlin the year after Mr. Ritter graduated. She tried to get me into him back then, but it wasn't until the album Hello Starling came out that I really gave him a chance.

From the new album....

That is amazing. I thought my 11 year old was pretty smart for scoring high on this game. She will freak out when I show her that!!

Wow. The little Lilly is pretty damn good. (Not sure about Norway though, which is clearly a major failing. 
)
Nice Ritter songs.

I love the Be Good Tanyas.

I'll have to check it out. It's good to talk to someone with good musical tastes on this site.

Oh, I've read all of them before, but I'm rereading them again. I'm only up to Fortune of War right now.
But yeah, they have a tendency to affect my speech patterns and my willingness to challenge people to duels when I'm reading them.

Somewhere I have a biography of Adolf Hitler. I bought it for the "Buy one, get one free" sticker on the front cover. One of the scumsucker was enough, IMO.

Hi folks. Been a while. I've got a bunch of news, so here goes:
First things first, I got engaged.
I'm wicked excited about it. My lady came out to visit me in upstate NY. We drove over to NH to visit my uncle who was really good to the future Mrs. Ascanius when she was in the hospital. After spending a couple of days...

You pointed me in Bok's direction a while ago, I think. I haven't got round to doing anything about it. Thank you for the link, I will investigate again.
sockpuppet:
I found some Gordon Bok recordings on YouTube (five, I think). None with cello, sadly. I respect his talent, but he doesn't do that much for me on his own; one of those people like Mark E Smith, I'm glad he's there but I'm not a fan.
Thank you for the input, anyhow

It's official. I'm moving back to Vermont in August, and staying together with my girlfriend. I'm going home!!!!
And, this thing is freakin' crazy.

In the Trivia group, you said "forgive my inability to accent the e's in te and the". I tend to use Wikipedia for this; find an article about France, and cut and paste the accented vowel
I hope you're having a nice holiday.

Thanks for askin
I hope you're well. How's Vermont doin? Is it white yet ? I sure miss it sometimes.
Most of the Dylan videos got pulled by youtube btw. But I did get to enjoy a few of them. Thanks. He's such a trippy dude. Gotta love it. It makes my want to run out and but a leopard skin pillbox hat.
