Povert

Wow. I’ve been working a lot. So that’s why I haven’t emailed much, commented on blogs, called, done WTS lately (though Jason’s studying for the GRE, so that’s part of it), etc.

Flapping Crane has suffered a bit. Though if you poke around the site, you’ll notice some new things. Just not on the front page. We may have a new one this week, if we can bring it all together (it’s a weird one — I love it). And we’ve obviously been working on music a lot — in addition to the one in my last post, we’ve got one other finished one (it’s a Reicher song), one that’s more or less done, and one that’s nowhere near done (we recorded it, but it was more like a rough cut). There’s a country song that we’re working on too. Funny stuff. None of it’s been (officially) released, but I expect the Reicher one and I Remember C#$% to be released very soon.

Actually, if you’ve subscribed to our iTunes feed, you may have already heard the Reicher one (Reicher’s Address).

I actually go into work later than my last job, but I stay later. And for the next month, I’ll be working a lot more. I worked for 10 hours today and didn’t leave the building even for lunch.

I’m not complaining — it’s a good job. But with the olympics and all it’s all very busy. And I found out Monday that I probably won’t have to work weekends, which is good.

At least I had time to pick up my apartment today. It was getting bad. Though now, in theory, it should be much easier to keep it clean, since I’m never here to mess it up. Except my bedroom. I can only really do laundry on Sundays, so that crap piles up in my bedroom. Though the bedroom’s not that bad — there’s just about 2 feet of laundry sticking out the top of the hamper.

I picked up “Thirteen Steps” by A Perfect Circle. Listening through it for the first time now. Good stuff. $2 more than I would have liked, but it’s good.

Also, I bought CKY’s newest one. Also good. A bit more metal than I expected, but I like it.

Random question — is there anything about philosophy that confuses or irritates you? Just looking for Wrestle that Shark ideas. Jason and I have a good one planned (about happiness), but I’ve got no idea what we’ll talk about after that.

I guess the point is that part of what I want to do is talk about philosophy for people who didn’t study it. That doesn’t mean dumbed-down — I just mean that when you’re neck-deep in something, you have no idea what other people think about the subject.

We’ve got a new Wrestle that Shark up. It’s Episode 5. We talk about Quantum Consciousness. Weird stuff.

Oh, and WTS #4 is out. Yay.

That’s all for today. I’m beat.
