The Semester Begins

The semester has started off slow, although I do not expect it to be that way for too long. My classes are pretty much electives only, so my primary focus will be on my thesis. Hopefully all will be done by May!

In other news, Claire's 26th birthday was yesterday and we celebrated by catching a comedy show in Times Square. Some of you might know the act: Tim and Eric's Awesome Show. The humor is not for all and it rarely makes sense, but it can be really infectious. Here's a couple clips from their Adult Swim television show featuring Dr. Steve Brule.

As for music, check out these two bands. Department of Eagles have a pretty unique sound. It may not seem like much at first and maybe a little weird, but their melodies have a way of getting into your head. The other, Deerhunter, is a little more traditional rock. I liken them to Sonic Youth, although Claire begs to differ.








Well, I hope those embeds work. That's all for the moment.

The First

As the title indicates, this is the first. I plan to use this blog to maintain contact with extended family members as well as post interesting articles I stumble upon in my scientific pursuits. Also, bands. That's right, music.

If I post it here, it is worth a listen. If something is good enough to pique the interest of a half-deaf audiophile such as myself, then I think it merits attention.

In closing, cheers and I look forward to some fun.
