Ah ha! It’s been a while… Nevertheless (and rather to my surprise), life plods inexorably along, even in the absence of blog posts. Who knew.
So. When I last checked in, I had a broken back (or, rather, a herniated disc). Though I get better day by day (little by little), this is still very much the case. The annoyance of being broken makes the most salient feature of the passing days, but I try not to complain. (Ha! That’s a lie!)
Perhaps to the detriment of the healing process, I’ve nevertheless tried to remain somewhat active: possibly detrimental to my back, but absolutely essential to my mental health.
Ah. Well, fall is in there air–or has been these past few days. The evenings have become chilly–the mornings too. So much so, in fact, that I found myself putting on shoes, yesterday, instead of flip-flops: a sure sign that fall is upon us! Along with socks and shoes, the arrival of teaming minions of new and insultingly young faces on campus portends the change of seasons. Sorry suckers. Someone should warn them!
Hrm. I seem to be somewhat out of the practice of posting.
I know! I’ll post some pictures. Pictures taken with my new camera–a shiny, brown Canon SD1100. The camera I received as a graduation gift from my brother four yeas ago has finally resigned itself to the big dirt nap, as it were, after taking some 11,866 pictures. The power button was failing–sometimes it wouldn’t turn on at all–but it was the little accident with the Pelican Case that proved to be its undoing.
Here: pictures! (It’s a link!)

I’m all registered for classes and such. In a bold move, I’m taking two classes at the same time–which means either I’ll finally master the art of being in two places at the same time … or I’ll be skipping some class, now and again. Against my better judgment, of course.
A few econ classes, a history class, a math class and a geology class, rounding out to 21 credit hours. I’m on track to graduate in May with Bachelors of Arts in Economics, if nothing else. Hopefully I’ll get something for my ~100 credit hours of history classes. Who knows. I just might.
Why won’t my pictures upload? Silly Picasa keeps getting stuck at 67%… ooh! 68%!
Ah. So I’m on Worker’s Comp these days. Does that make me a parasite? A drag on society? Honestly, I feel a might bit ambivalent about it–but so long as I’m not able to do the things I enjoy–so long as I’m not able to ride my bicycle–I’m going to take it.
Oh! The new Procrastinator Theater is finished (mostly!). There’s a soft opening this Friday. It’s not what it should have been (once again, the students at MSU have been screwed by the administration), but it’s still pretty awesome. The updated projection system looks really good, and with Dolby Digital Surround, sounds pretty good, too.
Blah. My next post will be better. I promise!
