Cure news: Click here to learn the details of their new single, "Cut Here". Cute detail I hadn't picked up on before; the single's title is an anagram of the band's name (CUTHERE). They're so precious! (Note to self: Stop mocking your idols.)

Perspective: The first update in a looong time. Funny how one's priorities change when you lose your job. I couldn't even bear the thought of writing about anything (let alone music) for a good long time. Having this happen in the aftermath of the World Trade Center catastrophe, particularly the same week that I attended a funeral for the husband of a friend who was on that plane, was a bit too much for me to handle. I came to realize, though, that I enjoy writing too much to willingly give up this little vanity project. This realization led me to sign up for NaNoWriMo. I don't know if I'll finish the novel or even if it will be any good, but it can't hurt to put some effort into this. I've always complained that I'm too easily distracted to write a novel; perhaps this will allow me chase one of my dreams.

On a side note: if anyone has any Java work they want done, feel free to drop me a line.
