Mini-rest
For Eric P. I completed my long standing Prolite 3S hackjob today. Last fall, after acquiring a Prolite 3L for pennies at a ski swap, I decided to trim the fat. The cut it, strip the foam, and reseal with an iron thing just didn’t work after two tries, so it sat idle in the…

Monday morning hegemony
As someone who took a moderate (three course, and some newspaper work) into Ethnomusicology years ago, the way in which things like this plays in the media makes me cringe. Putting the virtues of uniting diverse musical styles aside, the whole deal raises some important questions: -Why do we (NPR listener-types) seem to accept the…

I don’t give a damn about the derby
Though it used to provide a great, uncrowded weekend to climb at the popular sport crags down in the Red River Gorge. Instead, I spent all day writing a paper. It’s mostly done, so it’s time for a status update. Policy: Still 100% turned in. HBSE: 80% written. Collating the surveys and writing the conclusion…

Grand delusions?
I say I want to ride the GL this year, and my knees keep giving me shit. After intervals on the Lenz yesterday morning they’ve been creaky and achy as hell, strengthening and foam roller nonwithstanding. Not encouraging. I’ll be taking things as they come, but expecting that much out of my body so close…

Grand Loop
I guess I’d better do it this year. Works in the schedule and all. Yo Chad and Max, want to go for a team effort? Brian, you should come too. I’ll try to find some dehydrated beer.

Spring Training
Montana style. Yo. This morning held some 30-30 (sec) hill intervals up the paved Lincoln Hills road. Otherwise known as I want to die intervals. I also didn’t wear overshoes and had some nice screaming barfies in the shower. Maybe when I eat some real food I’ll stop twitching. I wonder if skinning the…

Oh yeah
My study music for the last month has been exclusively two things: The Baltimore Symphony’s recording of Mark O’Connor’s “Americana Symphony,” which is familiar yet brilliantly new. Leonard Bernstein conducting the London Symphony playing Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite,” which is like Metallica but better I also have the study-crazy, involuntary function-S autosave tic down pat. Every…

Monday roundup
I work a 12 hour shift at the school (my practicum site) Sunday, so Monday has become my day to hang around in PJs all morning, catching up on the Sunday political shows and doing lots of research. The extent of online databases has advanced exponentially even since I was in undergrad 5 years ago,…
