saw to kill a mockingbird at devos hall. the play was great! there were certainly differences between the stage and the book but i can understand most of them. a lot of things were cut out, but I can see why. an example – mrs. dubose and her battle with morphine reliance was cut down to jem beating her bush into submission and an apology. the morphine was only referenced in a later argument. there was also a difference in how the story was told. the book was in chronological order, while the play jumped around. I believe this worked in its favor – it hit the major plot points while leading the trial through the first act. i have my complaints about the ending. it was not as ambiguous as the book was, and i don’t believe that was the proper send off. however, it was a great show through and through and i’d happily see it again if the opportunity arises.

you ever hear of the indieweb? it’s this project/community/internet/thing where the goal is to be independent from “silo” websites, i.e. facebook, twitter, etc. and now i’m part of that.
i have an h-card on my homepage, h-entry on every post, the ability to use webmentions, and i can start POSSE anytime i want to. lemme go through the list, and then tell you how you can do it yourself.
starting with h-card and h-entry. these are both part of microformats 2, an easy to use bit of metadata that you can add to anything. the h-card is everything about me, and h-entry is everything about a certain post. the h-card also has rel=me links, which link several accounts together and allow me to authenticate as myself with just my website url.
webmentions are basically a way to @ someone with just a post on your website. very easy, much wow. and POSSE stands for “post (on your) own site, syndicate everywhere.” i can take everything here, send it to all the walled gardens, and link back to here. it allows people who aren’t into the blogosphere to see my posts.
it’s (relatively) easy. start with a website of your own. domain, hosting, etc. you’ll figure it out. then add rel=me to any hyperlink leading to a silo site, tying it with yours.
man this is coming out to a no effort december. ah well. see you all tomorrow.
layla, you got me on my knees

let’s talk about something different today. music! i’ve been listening to a lot of that recently.
it’s weird to think that music ever became a thing. at some point in human history, we heard a noise and thought “mmm yes more of that please”
and now we’re here. and where is here? we’re drowning in this age of postmodernism where everything is memeable and long form discussion is kinda dead.
think about it! we continue through life being better and worse and living and loving and trying and failing and rising and falling. we are forever rising above our limits and crashing through the rock bottom.
wait this post was supposed to be about music.
if you think that you’ve seen some of these songs from this blog then you probably have. ok see you tomorrow :)))
oh so happy, oh oh so happy
i’m pretty cool once you get to know me
i think we’re all going through some sort of heartbreak right now. it’s not the kind of heartbreak that you get from losing your love. i think it feels more like we’re all in the world right now and we don’t know how to be, if that makes any sense.
it makes sense why some of us might feel this way. all we’re doing is exam review after exam review, and in 24 hours we’ll be knee deep in the actual exams. i have several reviews that are over one hundred questions. and the most they’re worth is a few points extra on the exam. so what’s the point? it feels like i’m earning a diploma for someone else. and that’s probably not good.
there is a light at the end of the tunnel. in 4 days, less than that even, we leave. and then we don’t come back. i, for one, will not miss it. i’ll see you all tomorrow.
what’s this?
the consequences of my actions, now?
