Just finished listening to OnOffOn by Mission of Burma. My feelings about this album are rather mixed. Every individual song is pretty good. Not a single terrible track. But the album as a whole is, for some reason, overly long and boring! I give it a 6.

Here's an interesting link on memetics that I'll talk about later. I find this concept interesting, from a socio-philosophical standpoint.

Okay. I'm a terrible blogger. Life has, in general, been rather odd the past couple of months, but things are looking up. So here we go.

Right now, I'm sitting in my dorm. What's that, you say? It's June! Yes. Don't remind me. I'm attending the summer session here at ol' U of K. Taking Linear Algebra, Astronomy, and, shudder, Physics Lab II. Oh boy. That, folks, is a full load.

Oddly enough, I have a boatload of free time. I've been reading a lot (The Mirrodin Cycle of Magic: the Gathering novels, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and Andrei Platonov's The Foundation Pit at the moment), and sitting on my computer a lot. And that's about it. Campus is uncool this time of year. Oh. That pun was unintended, and now that I think about it, not all that funny. In any event. I have plenty of time to use for blogging and other questionably productive activities.

For example, I've been hitting Soulseek hard. Listened to a bunch of new music. The Thermal's album Fuckin A is terrific. Erlend Oye's DJ Kicks is a fun listen as well. I've also become somewhat obsessed with the band Clinic. They're back catalogue is pretty slim, but it's uniformly kick-ass. And they're as-yet-unreleased album Winchester Cathedral is really, really good.

Ben, of Me, Tim and Ben are renting a place in the fall fame, coerced me into taking up the game Kings of Chaos. It's pretty fun. Reminds me of this web game I played back in like 9th grade that I really enjoyed. If you have excessive free time, you might give it a try.

That's all for today.
