marching on

Given that it's March, and my last post was in December, I think it's a good time to catch up.

First of all, at the end of January, Executive Function, or a Story About a Dog Named Rudolph went up at the Haymarket Theatre. It was an amazing experience--the show was great, the cast was great, the audiences were great (usually). I think it's a good show to go out on; I'm closing the book on theater in Lincoln for the time being.

Of course, that hinges upon actually leaving for Ireland this time (in case you were paying attention in the past, I have had some trouble doing that). I think I'll make it; I have everything but the passport photo for the application and the application fee already lined up and filled out. Plus, I've decided I'm going even if I don't get in the program, so I should be Ireland-bound as of June or July.

In other news:

  • Irish-themed bands (such as The Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly) are awesome. Any bands who have albums with titles like "Drunken Lullabies" and songs like "Kiss me, I'm shitfaced" are just fine in my book.

  • I've decided that complexity theory (especially the study of emergent behavior) is still on the top of my future-academic-pursuits list. Thanks, Philip Ball!


...and that's it.
