I told you (you, the large and impersonal you) that I would be back soon with updates and new content. You thought I was just trying to placate you, right? Wrongo! You see, there have been many exciting events in the life ... http://www.thetribalunderground.net/lolosrun/?p=284 I’ll be the first to admit, this blog has been ruthlessly neglected over the past few months. But between the demands of schooling, my newfound addiction to Goodreads- a social networking site for the bibliophile- and a several month long technical error that prevented me from logging in (I ... http://www.thetribalunderground.net/lolosrun/?p=286 “I assure you that, with the help of God, I will attack you mightily. I will make war against you everywhere and in every way … I will take your wives and children, and I will make them slaves … I will take their property. I will do all the ... http://www.thetribalunderground.net/lolosrun/?p=285 The following was written after a bottle of wine for my Writing 101 class (I am more than insulted that Pima does not offer a way of bypassing this 101 class). Insipid and boring? Yes. Definitely not the best piece of writing I have offered, but it ... http://www.thetribalunderground.net/lolosrun/?p=282 Regular readers here at Soap-Boxing are well aware by now that I follow the wheelings and dealings of world politics as obsessively as Howard Hughes collected urine in jars. As such some of you may be surprised that I have yet to issue any diatribes about the state of ... http://www.thetribalunderground.net/lolosrun/?p=280 I know, I know, I know. I promised that I would write more often. Geez, you nag worse than the cliched image of an Eastern European grandmother. It’s not like I’ve intentionally been ignoring you. Life just has this way of picking you up in its ... http://www.thetribalunderground.net/lolosrun/?p=279 While this week has been a non-stop whirlwind of rushing and waiting- what with the visiting friends, waiting for people to show up so we can eat, and general xmas fretting and franticness- I have also had ample time (but not ample bananas) to listen through all of the below ... http://www.thetribalunderground.net/lolosrun/?p=251 Alternate Post Title: The albums that are required to be on a list but aren’t because there’s just too much good music this year and I don’t want this to too closely resemble the ballot for the Plug Awards. I knew that 2007 was going to be a great year ... http://www.thetribalunderground.net/lolosrun/?p=278 There is just no getting around it: 2007 was a banner year for music. Like some sort of primeval torrent it just never stopped bombarding my ears. It was just impossible to walk down the street without being assaulted out of the blue by some sort of ... http://www.thetribalunderground.net/lolosrun/?p=277 Now, I am normally not one for the wanton destruction of books. The sight of the Bebelplatz in Berlin is still one of the most haunting things that I have ever seen.
