Pecked to death by ducks again
Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve actually got a backlog of things to write about, as well as pictures to post, but the workload lately has been absolutely crushing, and all-nighters aren’t as easy as they used to be.
No end in sight actually.

- The funniest quote I read yesterday is from this blog, to wit
Every adult must at some point have paused during some slapstick piece of debauchery and thought, “Christ, this is ridiculous“. Having testicles is like being chained to the village idiot. Sad, but there it is.
- The famous “What year is it?” essay. What year you compare our modern times to determines your current outlook, pretty interesting. Personally I think it’s 1905, and Radical Islam is best compared to the Bolshevism of that period, but all comparisons are, by definition, imperfect.

- This is an incredibly cool time lapse movie, regrettably, in QuickTime, but still good.

Pale Rider in the dark shadows
My new habit of carrying the small camera everywhere with me is a good one I think. We are also entering prime cycling weather. A certain amount of wind chill is an incredible feeling.

Open Mic Night once again
I did the open mic night at Limerick for the first time in quite a while last night. The songs I played were Blackjack County Chain, Red Clay Halo, Will You Miss Me, and
Waitin’ Around to Die. I played breaks on Blackjack County Chain and Will You Miss Me. It’s hard to tell how it all sounded with the PA the way it is. I’m bringing my pre-amp next time.The A-Sides are in the photo above.
