black dice.

awesome. these guys always make me feel like all the things I shouldn't do that I do too much of is nothing compared to what we can only imagine they do... or do I not do nearly enough of the things I should do that I thought I shouldn't do? awesome.

our new house.

We're moving to Milwaukee - this is our new home! - 3/4 mile to Lake Michigan, walk Auden to school, walk to work, backyard, basketball hoop!, and great neighborhood - we're stoked...

hmmm... parenting.

Auden will be 6 in about 17 months [give or take].... I'm not feeling like a bad parent because [more than likely] he won't be able to do this:

mood?

A human being who--as we say--is in good humour brings a lively atmosphere with them. Do they, in so doing, bring about an emotional experience which is then transmitted to others, in the manner in which infectious germs wander back and forth from one organism to another? We do indeed say that mood is infectious. Or another human being is with us, someone who through their manner of being makes everything depressing and puts a damper on everything: nobody steps out of their shell. What does this tell us? Moods are not side-effects, but are something which in advance determine our being with one another. It seems as though a mood is in each case already there, so to speak, like an atmosphere in which we first immerse ourselves in each case and which then attunes us through and through.

Kind of funny, because while I was reading this, I was thinking to myself that songs/music may have a greater immediate effect on my mood/thought/etc than people do. Prime example, listening to the first track off the the 2003 Phosphorescent album: [enjoy!]
