I wish I could go to California. I'm so bored and lonely here without Melody. You'd think between working 30 hours a week and going to school I wouldn't have time to feel this way. I tried taking Nosy out for a run but he seems kind of down too. Like he has picked the mood up from me. It reminds me of that episode of friends where Phoebe brought Joey a dog to cheer him up and he ended up depressing the dog.

In one of my lit classes someone brought up the "dead white males" issue. Now, my understanding is that this term came in to use because some people felt there was a disproportionate emphasis on the work produced by people in this group. This student seemed to be more concerned about his inability to relate to the perspective of Authors in that group. And the instructor said something along the lines of "If the work is good, then you'll be able to find something to relate to no matter how different the author's perspective is."

I have to agree. I doubt there is much that Mr. Cash & I have in common. But this song still speaks to me like few others do.



Wow, there sure are a lot of great sets lately. I can't keep up.
