Still watching House. Still loving it.

Well if there ever was a suitable time to be sporting a freshly injected tattoo on my shoulder blade, it would have been this past weekend... but selah vee, eh? Arts Fest puts central PA on the map for four solid days each summer, ushering in the best and sometimes not so brightest of what the area has to offer. A cross section of the masses that flock to, and accumulate in, State College's humble abode would reveal everything from trendy aspiring artists, belligerent frat boys, rambunctious teenagers, and the more docile regulars who savor the yearly traditions. My particular favorites are the various practitioners of the first amendment who take up rank on the sidewalk at the intersection of College and Allen. Three you can usually rely on are the anti-war protestors, the marajuana legalization hippies (skipped out this year), and at least one street preacher telling us we're all going to hell. The former of which I say more power to you, the latter of which I think just needs a hug. And then of course the weekend always finds closure on Old Main lawn for the Earthtones concert where it is persuasively argued that the complexities and problems of this world can be easily remedied with reggae music and undignified dancing. Hard to disagree. In the end I appreciate every aspect, good or bad, for being a contributing factor in what I've come to know and love as Arts Fest weekend. Of course now that it is over, it begs the question of what to do now in State College...

















.... not sure.


I did wake up this morning with an inexplicable urge to play chess. To satiate this desire will require me first to relearn how to play chess... and then to find somebody willing to get on my socially compromised level and play me....offer is out there (game only valid if played outside at a park or in a library. wardrobe must consist of anything your grandpa might wear).

The best advice I can give to the general public is to find a frisbee and take to the grass. Your day will instantly feel better. Air crisper. Sun brighter. Sky bluer (more blue?).
