i've popped in here and there, but i'll re-introduce myself.  things are 
soon gonna be less hectic  for me, so i'll have more time to post 
(yes, in no caps. i realize this automatically makes me some sort 
of bastard, but i've actually been recruited to tutor students at my 
college because i'm excellent at grammar;  i just find using few 
caps rather liberating).
anyway, i'm sitting here listening to Pet Sounds, which is my 
favorite album.  i'm into so many different kinds of music but i 
always come back to Brian Wilson, '66.
like many of you, i do some writing....at some point i'll post my url 
where the stories are, but right now i'm in a rather paranoid state 
and while i absorb and love proper criticism, i don't feel up it right 
now.  
a couple movies these past few months that i've really gotten into....
American Beauty, Man on the Moon, and Buffalo '66.
along with several other resolutions now that i have more time, 
reading more Salinger is about to become a high priority.  i've read 
Franny and Zooey, and am about to embark on that a second time. 
 i read CITR this past summer, and i've read PDFB and For Esme, 
with Love.
and more to come....

well that's about it for the rambling now.
