An Atlas of Clouds: Ireland, August 17-September 5

“Three or four times only in my youth did I glimpse the Joyous Isles, before they were lost to fogs, depressions, cold fronts, ill winds, and contrary tides…I mistook them for adulthood. Assuming they were a fixed feature in my life’s voyage, I neglected to record the latitude, their longitude, their approach. Young ruddy fool. What wouldn’t I give now for an never-changing...

Coming Very Soon!

No, this blog isn’t dead……I’m just in Ireland! I’m here in Cork and have been for a week already, but since I don’t have internet in my room yet (they keep telling me that it’s coming tonight, tomorrow, etc) I’ve barely had any time to be roaming Tumblr, let alone make any posts. I’ll be making this into a trip diary of sorts, along with the...

“The thrush alone declares the immortal wealth and vigor that is in the forest. Whenever a man hears it, he is young, and Nature is in her spring. Wherever he hears it, it is a new world and a free country, and the gates of heaven are not shut against him.” - Henry David Thoreau

Watch

The War on Drugs - “Come to the City” The arguable centerpiece and 2nd single from my favorite album of 2011 so far, Slave Ambient. The only artists that I can picture feasibly topping this are Wilco, M83, Bjork or Real Estate. *puts fingertips together slowly a la Mr. Burns* …we shall see.

Life in DC, wks. 5 and 6: 65 Days of Solitude

Just earlier tonight, I was standing in line at the local supermarket by my house where I’m staying in residential D.C., NE side, buying a few groceries for the next few days. I’m sure you can easily picture the scene—it’s 9 PM on a Monday, so obviously no one wants to be grocery shopping right now. It’s been a hot, probably long first day, and everyone just wants to get home to...
