Avoiding listening to anything else but this album has been one of the more fun/kinda silly conventions I&#8217;ve set up for this week. 

I mean, I probably would have done this anyway&#8211;to a certain extent&#8211;because the Mountain Goats mean that much to me. Even when they put out albums [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a lot about home on The Life of the World to Come.

I spent about a year in grad school working on a thesis show that became a look at place and location-based identity. This was a show that definitely owed something to being written primarily in January 2002, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m excited about listening to this album more. My goal is to listen to nothing else this week (excepting podcasts, possibly), in the interest of full immersion. Lets hope it doesn’t hurt me too much--after all, Darnielle’s lyrics certainly don’t prettify the room (or rather, if they do, it’s a tragic kind of pretty, the last photo taken of the prom couple before the prom king drunkenly drives his car into a tree)--but y’know.  I’ll be careful.]]></description>

Some things!
&#8211;In an attempt to have posts look uniform, I am going to try to have a photo and an eventual read more link in far more of my posts now. Whee!
(can you see how exciting this post&#8217;s gonna be?)(I bet you can&#8217;t wait for more!)

Today has been quiet.
Erin and I stayed up very late after an evening of a lot of drinking and awesome company.  We celebrated one coworker&#8217;s 25th bday and another&#8217;s 28th; I drank odd themed martinis and Erin searched for suitable beer. When we came home, I (again) got lost in some MoO2 while she [...]]]></description>
