Said The Whale’s “Last Tree Standing”

This song is my latest obsession. My favorite line is the fourth. My horizon, jet black mountain, you’re crumbling into the sea And little city, you’re still so young, but you got so dirty Hey, old ocean, are you still holding on? You look so sad and empty Fires burning, forests falling, for evergreen, forever [...]

Said The Whale’s “The Light Is You”

I am thoroughly impressed by each new song that I hear off of Said The Whale’s latest full-length album, Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia. This one is no exception. When it’s so dark I can’t see the light Well, I close my eyes and I think of you Teddy bear, honeybee, don’t forget that You love me more than [...]

From the land of Winter Break: Pt. II

We used to get The Patriot Ledger delivered to the house, but my dad canceled our subscription, probably about a year ago. That newspaper has really gone downhill in the past few years. Instead of news, it’s mostly big images, chunky text, useless graphic design, and features lacking newsworthiness. About the only section that’s still [...]

From the land of Winter Break: Pt. I

Most, or perhaps all, of my attempts at writing something comprehensive and meaningful have failed lately, because it’s become very difficult to place my experiences and feelings into one overarching narrative. While at school, it’s somewhat easier, because I am in a routine and have obligations and schedules and interactions and reflections. In contrast, my [...]

Notes from New Orleans

I kept a kind of journal while down in New Orleans this past summer, in which I sometimes wrote entries and, much more often, jotted brief notes of my feelings, activities, and daily expenses. Here are a few of the early writings from that trip, starting on the plane and progressing to my first and [...]

A very annoying online advertisement

I don’t have a long list of sites that I check daily; it’s probably just Weather Underground, TD Ameritrade, Wesleying, the New York Times, LiveJournal, Facebook, and AppleInsider. The ads on most of them are nonexistent or manageable. I’ve been using Wunderground for so long that, although its pages are plastered with ads, I can [...]

Said the Whale’s “The Bones of Winter”

Shivering, cold Cobblestone road Slipping on diamonds and silver A funeral for the leaves Eulogy in the breeze A hymn for the bones of winter The geese have already buried their heads And a full moon over mine tells me it’s time To start thinking about hibernation First snap in the night And the first [...]
