The last couple of weeks have been both depressing and promising at the same time. It's time for me to make some changes. Time to get my act together. I am hopeful.

I went to the Minnesota State Fair today... pronto pups (yummy wheat dogs, previously thought to be corn dogs), mini donuts, shaved ice, taffy, and all that good stuff. THEN the midway for a bunch of crazy rides. My tummy is not happy with me right now.

Sometimes there just isn't much to say...

I often wonder if I am just ultra paranoid or if my fears and worries are justified. As I said (ever so profoundly) a week or so ago (though it has since become a joke), I am trying to figure out what's real and what's not.

Aaron is a fantastic web designer and has wonderful ideas. "The Window" is an extremely moving story. It stirs my curiosities to learn more about the characters and makes me long for another chapter or two.
I wish for a world with nothing but honesty and openness. I think I wish for too much.
Thanks to Evan for unintentionally introducing me to Meat Beat Manifesto Friday night in the car on the way to White Castle. I was immediately hooked and had to pick up "Original Fire" tonight. It's fantastic! Another good site can be found here.

One crazy night can change one's entire outlook on the world. What was seemingly so important before can become so surprisingly trivial and what should matter becomes so obvious.

I woke up hot and much earlier than I had hoped, after a late night. I somehow needed it to be cloudy today and I got my wish. It is raining lightly and there is gentle thunder in the distance. The Sundays are in my cd player and somehow everything seems okay.

BT cancelled his concert on July 28th due to a torn ligament in his leg or some such. It didn't quite hit me until now that I was going to see the artist I'd most like to see in concert, and it didn't happen. I heard rumors of a reschedule sometime in October, but who knows if it will actually happen. In the meantime, I wait, and I listen to his cds on repeat.
I saw Titan AE last night and was pleasantly surprised. The previews hyped it up quite a bit and I couldn't wait to see it, but after it came out I heard nothing but bad comments from friends. Then I read some online reviews and decided to give it a shot. The plot is very elementary, but the music and the eye candy is fantastic! Everywhere I looked there were beautiful 3D animations of things I have only seen in dreams or while under the influence of something quite sugary or otherwise.

DJ Depth - pretty darn good trance/techno from San Fransisco. Go get his stuff! (after you get Matt's)

I just creeped up the basement steps to get a glass of water and was rewarded with the sound of crickets outside the back door. It's a beautiful summer night and I can turn to see my sweetie sleeping beside me as I watch tv and geek out on my computer. I am completely content.

St. Paul and Minneapolis are now sponsoring Peanuts on Parade, 75 concrete painted Snoopy statues in various places around the cities, to honor Charles Schulz and his comic. Celestial Fantasy Snoopy, Stargazing Snoopy, Rainbow Snoopy, and Snoopy Night are my favorites. :o)
