Dogged optimism

My favorite songs of the moment:

"I am going to make it through this year if it kills me"

>

"The end is never the end. A new challenge awaits. A test no man could be prepared for. A new hell he must conquer and destroy. A new level of growth he must confront himself. The machine in the ghost within."

I so love The Mountain Goats. They are unfettered goodness.

Great to see you at NCTE - even for just those brief moments in the hallway.

I saw the Mountain Goats on Friday in DC. It was one of those concert experiences that was almost like a summary of my life this past year--entirely cathartic, but I'm a little sorry that I can identify with his lyrics so strong. "Broom People" and "No Children" are personal favorites.

I didn't know that you liked them!

I saw the Mountain Goats the last time they were in the area and they sucked. Which sucked, because I love them. A guy named Adam Ezra opened for them and I'm a huge fan of his, now. This Year is an awesome song though!!
