I haven't gone yet. I've only played Rock Band once and for not nearly enough hours! I want to go, but probably not this week since I'll be house/petsitting far away and Tuesday's one of my long work days. I may end up going pretty regularly, since I don't have money/time to get the system, game, and instruments for my house.

Also, agreed re: the subject. Audible laughter emitted.

Hmm. Well, some day.

Sorry about screwing up your gym visit today, BTW.

I hope you still have your leg.

Instead of working out, I made a collage to finish the picture of you I started. Will scan and post this coming week.

ABOUT DE FILE

You're looking at content from my Live Journal, which I have been keeping since 2003. I consider it a personal blog, though it lacks stream-of-consciousness revelations that typify that genre.

That said, if you manage to discern the confessional mode within entries that are superficially tight-lipped, I will reward you handsomely. Or at least pretend to do so.

In addition to reflections, however mediated, on my daily activities, De File features periodic excavations of material from my "files," a revelation sure to disturb anyone who has seen my garage. It's an experiment in integrating past and present, perhaps with a little redemption along the way.

Politics is always on my mind, but rarely explicit here. I’m working on a theory about what personal writing like this does to literary identification and why some people resist its pull so powerfully. But my goal is to make that theory dissolve in my practice, a density in liquid.

You'll note that I have links to blogs not on LiveJournal directly above, as well as assorted websites of note. The blogs I read regularly on LiveJournal itself fall under "FRIENDS" at the top, for those of you unfamiliar with LJ’s workings.

You can write me. I'm "cbertsch" before the circle-a and "comcast.net" after it.
