The Yay Family Bullshit Dinner
Every now and then my extended family (my father's family) manages to rear its ugly head and I'm roped in and find myself unable to avoid contact with the odious lot of them. Ten years ago (to the day, actually) my grandfather (Clyde Ensor) and two of his sons broke ground for the Anna Ashcraft Ensor Library at Georgetown College...

Amy and I are engaged!
I've known I wanted to marry Amy for months, though we've only been dating for six. (For my readers who don't know us personally, Amy and I went to high school together and were tangential friends who liked and respected one another, but really didn't know one another. We didn't seen each other for fifteen years before being reunited almost...

That is so incredibly sweet, I love reading of other peoples happiness. That brought a tear to my eye, not enough people are so deeply committed in love these days.
I wish you both all of the joy in the world.

"I Believe"
from "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman
I can believe things that are true and I can believe things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not. I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen-I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge...

original article can be viewed here
The Alaska state senator running an investigation of Gov. Palin says the McCain campaign is using stall tactics to prevent him from releasing his final report by Oct. 31, four days before the November election.
"It's likely to be damaging to the Governor," said Senator Hollis French, a Democrat, appointed...

Mungus in the Studio, Day 9 (Monday, September 1, 2008)
It's 11:31 on Labor Day and I'm all but finished tracking my bass parts for the album. I ran through "Remora" as soon as we got to the studio and, like all my first takes of the morning, it was rough the first time through. The second time was much more relaxed and required only...

Sarah Palin: Under Investigation, and Unaware of VP Duties
Dammit.
I knew it would be a mistake to watch Obama's acceptance speech. God dammit, now I have hope.
And if, after all that, and the coming debates and election, we as a country, choose to elect John McCain... I'm going to become the biggest and most pessimistic misanthrope imaginable.
You have been warned.
...I knew I shouldn't have watched.

Mungus Recording Update
In case you, oh avid reader, hadn't gleaned this already, Mungus recorded on neither Saturday nor Sunday. The computer issue kept the studio down for most of the weekend (though Steven managed to get his rhythm guitar tracked for "Remora" when he went to pick up his gear on Sunday). We'll be getting back in the studio at the beginning of next...

Mungus in the Studio, Day 8 (Friday, August 22, 2008)
We're beginning with "The Ponderous Groove" (which may end up being be renamed "Recompense"). I think the general feeling is that we'll finish this one completely before moving on. I want to re-record just a couple of notes in the quiet section. I don't need to, but I played the safe version when we recorded...
