Greetings Friends,

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

I am a college student again. I start this week at Arcadia University. I am going to finish my bachelor’s degree in English (and possibly pursue a master’s degree).

Looks like I’m going to begin four credits shy of being a junior.

I even have an Arcadia e-mail address: mharrington@arcadia.edu.

I missed school. I’m so happy to be back. The discipline and the peer criticism will sharpen my pen.

Added bonus: my niece/goddaughter Caitlin also starts classes at Arcadia this week!

            <description>Greetings Friends,

Received an advance copy of the new (final?) [url=www.mendozaline.com]Mendoza Line[/url] double CD, [i]30 Year Low/The Final Remarks of the Legendary Malcontent[/i]. (Thank you [url=www/glurp.com]Glurp[/url].)

Initial impressions of the first disc, [i]30 Year Low[/i]: album of the year; an absolutely devastating divorce album. When I reached the 4th track, I pressed Stop and started over.

Full review shortly.

Greetings Friends,

Maybe there is a God.

[b]From the [i]Associated Press[/i] by Dan Joling:[/b] ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Federal agents with cameras searched the home of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens amid questions about an oil company official's involvement in a 2000 renovation project that doubled the home's size, law enforcement officials said.

Stevens, 83, is under a federal investigation for his connections to Bill Allen, founder of VECO Corp., an Alaska-based oil field services and engineering company that has reaped tens of millions of dollars in federal contracts.

Bruce Springsteen &amp;amp; the E-Street Band (according to [i]Rolling Stone[/i]) will release a new studio album in October.

Greetings Friends,

Director Ingmar Bergman has died.

I you want your hair blown back, rent [i]The Seventh Seal[/i]. My favorite Bergman film, the one that never fails to move me, is [i]Wild Strawberries[/i].

In other news…

I finished [i]Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows[/i], the final Harry Potter novel. J.K. Rowling is a goddess. It’s a brilliant book that starts off a little shaky (much like [i]Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince[/i]), but once it kicks in, it might be one of the darkest, most exciting novels I have ever read. Not quite sure this is a children’s series anymore (probably hasn’t been for quite some time). Way too dark and sinister and philosophic. Also: three times, someone says “effin” as in “f***in’.”
