home on the range

I'm laid over in mountaintop for a day or so, en route to living in sin for the summer. Seemed the perfect time to write a little bit about whatever. I also went and updated (finally) the dan-ticker up there, so anybody who stuck through the long "dark time" and is still reading me can know what I do with my life.

I haven't been here in pa for a while--I get about two visits a year. it's really a great spot for peaceing out of everything that's going on, perfect for that end-of-the-semester-just-want-to-sleep week. also perfect for convincing your parents to upgrade your business-casual wardrobe for your summer of impressing important people. which is pretty likely. also perfect for awkwardly having your high school crush who you haven't spoken to in seven years and who never liked you in that way wait on you when you go out to dinner to celebrate said wardrobe upgrade. bizarre doesn't begin to cover it.

anyway, i've been ruminating about this blog for a week or so, and i think it's time to clean house, so to speak. i picked out a new template (it's saucy!) and i think i'm going to change my tack. expect more than the occasional semi-political diatribe and organized minutiae. instead, i'm going to try for things that interest me, but in an organic (read: haphazard) delivery so as to be more conversational. that's just how i roll.
