New Things. Good Things

So. We were sitting on some lawn, pretentiously talking about life, and how amazing it would have been if we had been alive around ’67: Songs of Leonard Cohen, Sgt. Pepper…, The Doors. A good year. We spoke about other banal things, including literature (which is not by any stretch of imagination, banal. Blasphemy!); which was when my friend said to me: “You know, I’m not too sure about this Ian McEwan guy”. I said: “Not good? Well, I’m not too sure about this Jane Austen girl. Can you imagine? Had it not been for her, we would not have had these dreadful rom-coms. Oh goodness. No rom-coms? Who doesn’t want to be lied to?” Well, Cass, I’m reading Atonement, I have to say to you, dear friend, that it is quite beautiful. We laughed at our idiotic banter, as fools often do. You’re probably asking yourself what the hell was the point of that story. Geez, man, I don’t know. Probably lies? Yes, lies, and the truth. Here’s more truth coming up: I realize that I have not updated the blog in quite some time. Tsk Tsk. Not good. A lot has been happening though. I shall try to give you guys a condensed update with some really cool links to check out.
