The last few weeks have been really stressful, with a number of life changing events occuring in a row, and more to come over the weekend. I don't deal with finality very well, even when it leads to changes in my life that should make me happier or leave me feeling fulfilled. I don't feel fulfilled. I feel sad and empty. It isn't as if I feel like a disaster is impending. There haven't been many major trainwrecks in my life, but the comfort and protection I once felt is gone and it makes me feel so alone.

Being done with school means catching up on TV shows I haven't had time to actually watch when they're on, either by watching DVDs or watching them online.

The Young Marble Giants are back together, momentarily, for the Welsh Hay Festival . I really don't know anything about Hay, except that it appears to be a glorified book fair for smart people. The Young Marble Giants are one of my favorite bands of all time for two reasons. First, they managed to distance themselves from everything going on musically in the late '70s/early 80s and produce a near perfect record ( Colossal Youth ) on the first try. In fact, from the looks of this list the 1979 Colossal [...]
