The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway...

Last night, I went on a music-downloading binge because I have an emusic subscription that I always forget to use. The jury is still out on the things I downloaded (all promising, but I haven't finished listening)... but goofing around in last.fm led me to an odd discovery. It turned out, as I was fussing with a playlist, that both Atom and His Package and the Mountain Goats had a song called "Seed Song." Odd, I thought, and so today I looked into it. It turns out that nearly every one of my favourite songs on Redefining Music is, in fact, a Mountain Goats cover (with the exception of Upside Down From Here). So, a good four years (at least) before I'd even heard of the Mountain Goats, some of my favourite songs were John Darnielle's. Go figure. (This further cements my crush on John Darnielle's work. Goshdarn him and his music. Also, Atom and His Package stopped existing after Hair: Debatable? And now Adam teaches at a private school in Philly? Weird! I can't imagine having a chemistry teacher who wrote something like It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad Lib.)

...Wow, I know nothing about any of those songs/bands.

...Hi Carrie! ...Surprise! Um, I just wanted you to invite you to the omg_alchemist/omg_fma Grand Finale. The game is finally dying, and we thought it would be fun to go out with a bang... we're planning a big Finale event in mid-September sometime, involving a giant log of awesome, and we wanted to invite old players to participate, if they wanted to. You know, have a little reunion, for the fun of it. So... you're invited, and any characters and npcs you've ever played, to play for the next few weeks and/or during the Final Log. Lemme know if you're interested. ...Um, Dar can tell you how to get in touch with me.

Whooa I haven't heard from you in ages! How is life?

This giant log of doom is something I'll have to ponder for a bit. I think it'd take a lot of effort for me to dig Hughes and Amicus (or any of my NPC's) back up and actually do them any sort of justice. Hmmmm.

Life is pretty good! I had an awesome summer job, which I was sad to leave. Now I'm being a bum, and getting ready for the move to Portland, and dancing my feet off most nights of the week. How are you?

Ponder away, just let me know. We'd be happy to have you. Lauren's part of the party, dunno if we'll have anyone else yet. We've just started up the End Game; all sorts of weird shiz is gonna happen over the next few weeks... today, starting precisely at noon and lasting for exactly one minute, it rains sardines on Central. Good times.
