This Is A Boring Post

Listening to Genesis' 'Watcher of the Skies' a lot lately. Dunno why, but it's classic Genesis...sound experimentation, lyrics based (I think) on some kind of sci-fi lizard invasion, Phil Collins' dramatic drumming. That and Jimmy Buffett's tribute to the revival of New Orleans post-Katrina: 'Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On'. (And it rained/nothing really new. And it blew/seen all that before. And it poured/the earth began to strain. Ponchartrain/there in the Ninth Ward, to the second floor). Very poignant, a bit sad, but ultimately optimistic.

I am extremely enthusiastic to return to Pittsburgh. The atmosphere on campus has become something similar to an episode of 'The OC' or something...lots of annoying eighth-grade-esque drama. My flight lands at 3 PM on November 20th, and thus begins another period of uncertainty for me. I will almost certainly be returning to college (although I don't know where yet) for the 2009 fall semester, but as to what I will be doing until then...Christ knows. I'd love to head back up to Conneaut for the summer, so we'll see.

I highly recommend Newsweek Online's series, "Secrets of the Campaign". A seven-part article, it takes readers behind the scenes of both the Obama and McCain campaigns, from the primaries to Election Night. The reporters in question were allowed unprecedented access to the campaigns with the promise that they would not reveal their stories until after Election Day. It's a VERY cool collection of articles, with a great deal of insider information. Here's the link to Chapter 1: http://www.newsweek.com/id/167582

In other news, Ben Roethlisberger has got to get his game together. That is all.
