More Stuff You Won't Read

Deb's clever little ruse worked, it seems. Not only do you get the joy of a missive-free inbox, ya'll get the guilt-free pleasure of completely ignoring me. If you're not doing either (and you're not my mother), how about hitting me back with a little feedback. Otherwise, this feels like I'm keeping an online diary which is about as cool as acid washed jean shorts. That's why I liked emailing you all...even if it was angry, I still felt like there was a dialog. Now it's like I'm monologing and we all know that is only cool if you're a supervillian.

Speaking of, the new DangerDoom album will be out on October 11th and I've been told not to buy it by Brooke. She would neither confirm nor deny that she got it for me for my birthday. For those of you without such restrictions (and know who Viktor Vaughn and/or Dangermouse are...Mom, this excludes you), I highly recommend picking it up. I got Dangermouse's Grey Album on vinyl last month...one of only 3000 pressed. I think, in fact, that means that I rule. If you haven't heard, google it. Well worth the bandwidth.

How's law school, you ask? It's good. It's nowhere near as scary as they make it sound. They alternate between telling use we should treat it like a job and that we should be spending 50-60 hours a week on our studies. I don't know about you but I'm not down with overtime unless it pays and I have yet to put more than 40 hours in in a week. I go to school at 8 and I leave between 3:30 and 5 depending on the amount of reading required for the following day. The concepts aren't too terribly difficult to fathom, really and the reading, though dense at times, is pretty straightforward. Well, it's straightforward in the sense that after awhile, you start seeing patterns and you become adept at understanding the significance of aspects of those patterns...at least in regard to how they add to or modify previous patterns. Anyway, it's not bad...

Ok, it's time to spend some Q-T with Brooke. We're watching 'The Celebration' tonight. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you rent and/or buy it.

I hope all is well on your end...S.

ps- one more music note: The Bad Plus are playing near our place on October 1st. Anyone interested in catching the show with me? I promise it'll be the best jazz show you'll see this year, if not in your life...

Dear Shaun, I have read that a dream is a wish or a fear in this case I think it is your wish to become a lawyer. You might try taking some calcium magnesium citrate before going to bed. We take a TSB. of it. It should help relax your brain and help you sleep. Also will stop bone loss. I can hear you laughing all ready. oh well you know your loved. Mom

S, sorry that my "hey i wonder how shaun's doing?" thoughts haven't actually made it to email, blog or somehow sent themselves to your brain. I now live in Lower Queen Anne, (2nd and Valley) and pass your old place regularly. I wish you were still here. I'm glad to hear that Brooke's there, and you're surviving the start of school. I caught up with Karen briefly tonight (you're not the only one I've blown off--you're in very good company!) and she told me you finally met. Lets chat sometime soon. Hope the dreams lay off. I remember the grad school dreams....
