Workaholic

As I may have mentioned before, I'm studying abroad in the spring in London.  While this is incredibly exciting, it's also going to be very expensive.  It means I need to make a lot of money between now and then, which is how I've ended up working two jobs at between 60 and 70 hours a week.  It's essentially taken over my life such that I work and sleep and not much else now.  But it beats being unemployed, which I was worried would happen again at the beginning of this summer given how many leads went nowhere. 

2010 has been such a great year for music and it's only halfway over! I almost don't know where to turn to start addressing all the quality releases both by new and established artists this calendar year.  Expect more lists from me before the year is out!

While the rest of the world talks about the *yawn* World Cup, I dream instead of covering the field with ice and surrounding it with boards, shrinking it down, and replacing the trained actors with athletes.  So even though it's the hockey offseason, I've been keeping glued to my computer at times waiting to hear what's going to happen with the Penguins' free agent Sergei Gonchar.  As they've just acquired the rights to Dan Hamhuis, it's looking like that won't happen, which is a huge mistake in my opinion.  We shall see.

Keep a lookout in the near future: I'll be featured in a regular podcast along with two other people, one of whom is Ashley.  We'll be primarily talking about writing, so if you're interested in that subject, we'd appreciate your support.

That's all for now, more soon!
