evolution

i am almost to wrap up the paperwork part of the ph.d. application process. i took this weekend off to blow off some serious steam, something i’ve been needing to do for some time now.

i took the gre math subject test on saturday morning. i answered two-thirds to three-fourths of the questions, and if they are all correct that will make for a good score. i was pretty confident about most of my answers, though. i think it went okay.

then, i went out with my roommate and his friends from studio to see a band that they really like - and i really like them now too. the band’s name is sun cured red, and they put on a hell of a show. they are a jam band in the truest sense of the word, a la the grateful dead, but they have a much different style than the dead. they mix a bit of jazz, caribbean and latin, and even bluegrass into their music. never have i seen a band in this town have the effect on a place that these guys did - the place was full, and no one was sitting down - not even me. they are really something else, and i think they have a bright future in the music world.
