Hey SY gang. Sorry I flaked out 7 months ago. How is everyone? I've been ridiculously busy lately--applying to PhD programs, writing my thesis, and trying to teach music theory to unwilling percussionists and whatnot. My being busy is no excuse for not being around; I know, I suck. Here is a picture that I like:

Hey again.

Hello. Good to see ya back, hope to see you posting more!

Hurrah. How lovely to see you back, noumy.

I tried sending you a Christamas email through the board, but it was blocked or something.

Oh, Mr Noumenal, good to have you back. More posts! The return of musical literacy. Huzzah!

whoa. i thought you were dead for a minute.

one hand on the ground
one hand in space

Hey man! Nice to have you back buddy, you were missed! How are things going?

Things are going well.

Looks like you guys have been posting up a storm around here--my 1000 posts look pathetic.

School starts back in a week, but I'm not taking any classes, just research hours. Anyway, I've been TAing, which I enjoy, to a point. I announced on the radio this past summer and enjoyed that too, even though I don't think I have the charisma for radio. I have some good stories about playing SY, The Fall, and other stuff and getting weird phone calls. Like, for example, I played the song Hip Priest and some guy called in to tell me that it was too long and boring.

I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling soon for interviews.

Sonic Youth has not been at the top of my playlist lately, I mean, I have all of their records and have played them all so much that i know every note and I'm afraid I've harmed my hearing. Still my faveorite band though. I crave new things, or at least things new to me. Still devouring classical recordings of course and I've read a lot of good books lately which I'll bullshit about if given the chance. Also seen some good movies.

I started a blog, but I deleted it because it felt too self-absorbed, masturbatory. Who do I think I am, Anne Frank? Nobody gives a shit about what I had for dinner or that i think C.S. Lewis probably had halitosis.

Nice to talk to all of you again. I don't think I'll be around as much as i used to be, but I'll pop in every once in a while.

val-holla-ing knows I'm not dead because he's seen me many times since I last posted on here. But he's also the only one who knows that I'm a complete poseur--I'm actually a tragically obese woman who works as a janitor at KLSU and makes extra money by sitting on street corners downtown playing the harmonica and tapping bongos with my feet. I have very dextrous feet despite the swelling. Thanks for keeping my secret. I hope nobody minds if I continue to pretend online. Thanks.

Welcome back, ya jerk.
