Lately I have become more and more obsessed with this research  of mine. I suppose there's a certain allure to researching and writing about something that just hasn't been researched before. It's a good problem to have --- much better than not caring enough about my term papers.

On a bright note, I'm in the middle of listening to Jackson Browne's new album...Yep, he released a new album this year. I really like his older stuff, and so far I like this new album. It's actually not too far from his old stuff, and he still sounds like himself (as opposed to an older man with a noticeably aged voice).

Other than that, things are rocking along really smoothly I suppose. I do lots of language studying between Danish and Italian.

It's still surprising how beautiful the Fall is up here in New England... I will be honest and say that rural New England, not urban areas like New Haven, is probably the most beautiful place in America in the Fall.
