Scatterbrained

If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you. -Oscar Wilde
Perhaps this is why Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert are so wildly popular.


Came across this guy in Dublin
Being in Grad School I will read....A LOT.  I like reading though I'm gonna have to find something outside the academic reading to keep me sane.  Ergo the quote from Oscar Wilde.  Since I have chosen Ireland as my locale I figure I should read and reread a selection of his works as well as other Irish literature. So my list will consist of the following authors: Jonathon Swift, J.G. Farrell, Laurence Stern, James Joyce(maybe..), Samuel Beckett, Bram Stoker.  I think that should suffice for a bit.  And if I see anything in the theatre by Wilde or George Bernard Shaw I'll undoubtedly go.



That being said I do need to find something else to keep my sanity around here.  There isn't much in the way of rock climbing out here even though I brought a pair of shoes for the off-chance.  I should track down an instrument rental for a Horn and find some small community band. 


Ok I feel as if I'm rambling here.  I assure you, once school starts I doubt you'll have to read as much from me.  I've unfairly unloaded on you my reader and I apologize.




Though you did choose to read knowing it was I who pushed the pen.

    I feel your pain. Good luck trying to keep busy until school starts.

    No need to apologize. New places and getting used to them always takes time.
    Like your ideas to keeping your sanity.
    Definitely read. Reading is always good, and yes, joining a band group would probably be useful too.
    Have you explored the place very much yet? That might help.
    How long until the school year starts?

    Maybe we could rig you up some electric hook up for your horn and you can start the first ever electric french horn band....
