It's My Birthday

On this day, I transcend being a teenager and enter my third decade of life. Odd how I don't feel any more mature.

Incidentally, on the 20th, when the rest of the world (or the US, at least) was celebrating the anniversary of the moon landing, I was commemorating my Bar Mitzvah, seven years ago. Good times.

Enjoy some music.

And the winner is...

I have found my replacement for Seeqpod. It won't serve the searching function, but it will give me a chance to hear all sorts of new music. And I can download that music. So I'll stop pining for Seeqpod (momentarily), and give this a try. And possibly create some of my own mixes.

I swear I'm alive

I kind of forgot about this for, what, two or three months? Oops. Well, a quick mid-summer update.

Working for CDC/NIOSH down on Columbia Parkway. Fun, interesting, and a desk job. Getting used to sitting still for long periods of time. And not having kittens around. Also enjoying not working two jobs for the first time ever.

Halfway done with college. Not thinking about it. Not thinking about it. Moving on...

Attempts to avoid boredom this summer are uniformly unsuccessful. Actually find myself missing school, which is a phenomenon I am thoroughly uncomfortable with.

Read "Nation," my first new Terry Pratchett read in quite a while. It was good. I also finished it in an afternoon. Oops. "Tomato Rhapsody," by Adam Schell, is entertainingly Shakespearean, and a good read in general.

Saw "Up," thought it was great, although sad at parts. Trying to watch through Firefly by the end of the summer, while also not finishing the series in two days. About halfway through now.

And that's about it. Family goes on vacation without me in two weeks, which is fine by me.

More when events merit (read: when back at school).
