Wow, I haven't posted in awhile. I know you're thinking how I possibly could go so long without blogging, it being my faaaavorite thing since sliced bread. I'm not sure myself. However, I don't really know what to write about. I just thought I was due and since I had some time to kill, voila: a post. I'll start with what we have just finished reading, Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal". Swift's proposal set out to cure Ireland of it's poverty and suffering -- by eating babies. Ok..Who in their right mind would think that would solve any problems? But throughout the essay, I couldn't help but picking up on a tone of sarcasm. Sarcasms great.it makes life humorous. Especially the kind that's not blatantly obvious. Which is why I'm looking forward to this satire business.
I guess I did have something to write about. And it's been awhile since I've posted on something non-literature related, so I'm going to take this time to impart some music knowledge to you all. Listen to this: "Brusies" by Chairlift. You'll be glad you read this here post and found out about such a good song.

That song is just sickeningly catchy. I don't know how the Ipod execs do it but they ALWAYS find songs that just resonate.
I tried listening to it...and I must say, first time in awhile, not my cup of tea sorry to say...
jj: It is catchy because it is a general restatement of the same couple lines throughout the whole song and the instrumentals don't vary much either...oh consumer psychology thou are so cruel leaving masses of people singing the same song in their head endlessly.
i'm a sucker for catchy repetitive lyrics, what can i say
