Seems Familiar

An odd thing happened today. I went to The Plough and Stars for dinner, and one of the people who sat down beside me was someone I recognized. I recognized him because I'd seen him at The Druid the night before. I remembered seeing him at The Druid because when I saw him there, I thought he looked familiar and tried to figure out where I'd seen him before that. So I still have no idea if / when I'd seen the guy prior to that point, but it got me into a good conversation. So I suppose the point is that there's a silver lining to my misfiring memory.

Old Man Power Hour

Climbing this morning was good.

( This Week's Climbing )

Had dim sum with Ginneh, went to film club in the evening and saw Moon, which was pretty good. The only real damper on the day was the weather, clouds and continuous sprinkling rain. Boston: Where early June is followed by late March.

In other news, I finished archives of the Viking Youth Power Hour (which may still be active, but they haven't produced a new episode in months) and am now working my way through the RU Sirius Show (RU Sirius is the guy who wrote the book on subculture... well, a book, anyways). I started listening to that ages ago, just before it ended, but the show had quite a long run and I'm glad I decided to take a look at the archives. It's interesting talk and unusual music (a lot of mashups, including this one).
