Notes to Self

Sorry it's been a bit. Still busy, haven't had much to say either. Life has been eventful in a lot of ways, dull in just as many. I figured a check-in post was appropriate all the same.

I may probe further into the past few weeks later on, but for now I'll leave you with this not conclusive and probably boring list of inconsequential learnings:

1) Beer is but one way by which to achieve beer goggles.

2) Indiana is essentially Oklahoma minus cows and plus corn.

3) The receipts in my wallet feed on green bills.

4) I have not yet forgotten how to sing in front of a crowd.

5) Beauty surmounts distance, words and even hands.

6) Noveling is cake through 100 or so pages. Creating conflict is simple; resolving it is another matter.

7) I am not terribly religious, but gospel music stirs my soul.

8) Wireless printing makes me giddy.

9) Joyce makes my head hurt.

10) I believe wholeheartedly in Bono, Bill Gates and Jeffrey Sachs. Popularity, prosperity and intelligence united form a powerful triumvirate.

11) Apple computers are worth the hype.

12) Wheat bread tastes better than white.

13) My greatest and most selfish dream is to one day own and inhabit an otherwise deserted island in the Pacific.

14) I love bright orange ties.

15) But in general, I hate ties.

16) Chapstick is no longer permissible on airplanes.

17) Though television is for the most part terrible, Gregory House is my hero.

18) The highest-rated restaurant in Little Italy is owned and run by Albanians.

19) Someone thought "snakes on a plane" was a quality premise for a Hollywood film.

20) Love is all you need.
