Okay, from now on I'm just going to read stupid pitchfork like everyday, just in case. Found out today (by listening, of course, to the greatest radio station in the world, kjhk) that there's new M.I.A. to be heard. !!!
Thankfully, pitchfork provided this video for the single "Boyz" to tide me over until next week.
ὧν ἓν καὶ τὸ σόν, ὦ σχέτλιε, μόριον εἰς τὸ πᾶν συντείνει βλέπον ἀεί, Plato, Laws 10 (translation)
καίπερ πάνσμικρον ὄν, σὲ δὲ λέληθεν περὶ τοῦτο αὐτὸ ὡς γένεσις ἕνεκα
ἐκείνου γίγνεται πᾶσα, ὅπως ᾖ τῷ τοῦ παντὸς βίῳ ὑπάρχουσα εὐδαίμων οὐσία,
οὐχ ἕνεκα σοῦ γιγνομένη, σὺ δ’ ἕνεκα ἐκείνου

10th Avenue East!

Well, it looks like we've got the place! Nice work everyone.
These photos aren't much (taken from the craigslist ad), but I hope you enjoy this peek into what will soon be our new place.

Extra bedroom, you ask? Well, reader, I promise that if you visit we'll find space in the living room for an air mattress: how's that sound?

I know what you're thinking, but 700 square feet isn't bad; besides, Emily and I are small, right?

Slow News Day?
Or maybe it's just that we keep forgetting to take the camera out of the car.
In any case, we had a great time visiting the Chicago area recently--picked up my sister, who's back finally from Japan (welcome home!). I'd link to her blog, but she seems to have abandoned it (a danger with these things, I guess).
And we had a fine, late-night time with Dave and Diana. One link I can provide: Dave suggested we listen to Radio Lab, a WYNC show available as in podcast form. Very cool. Why don't you check it out?
And we saw the Iwanski's; always a pleasure. Braxton had a bit of a cold, alas, but still we enjoyed some of the delicious produce Magen's been growing, and I even made par on the second time through at the Campton Hills Park disc golf course (the first time through? oh, um, I don't remember . . .).
Back in the QCA, we think we've secured a place in Seattle, though we're still waiting for the final confirmation.
And we finally went up in the skybridge in Davenport:


More on these stories as they develop.

A Book Review, A Website, and a Bridge
Hooray for me, reader. (Not Emily? I know! Shocking!)
A book review I wrote recently for Bryn Mawr Classical Review was just published. Read at your leisure (or not; whatever).
And speaking of links, I now have a page on the Seattle U server, so that's nice. That neat design? That's thanks to googlepages. Getting scary how much I rely on them (they own blogger, you know), but so far they appear to be a benevolent force, right?
What else? Well, I took some cell-phone footage of the Arsenal Bridge closing after a barge went through recently.
Blurry, isn't it? But majestic in its own way?
A bonus: my favorite Sportscenter ad:
