the blog
There may have been a few changes during the recent interruptions in blog life. The blog will still have the same general focus, but March has been dragging on and there hasn't been enough humor. I may sound a bit sarcastic at times. Perhaps it's the inner cultural critic. Perhaps it's "academics." Perhaps it's not enough structure. Perhaps the novelty has worn off. I have, however, taken my brother's advice at face value and do not intend to go emo on you. Says Wikipedia: "Dark colors and long hair are a very popular in emo culture." My color scheme is currently 'a very popular' yet light [one chosen from Blogger's templates], though I have made a pact not to get a haircut for a few weeks. Then there is the footwear, "Converse All-Star style shoes are common . . . as are Vans shoes." I'm currently a Baťa-shoe guy, which does not fit the model. Not to mention that I can't really believe in a 'subculture' that comes with a guide. But somewhere there still lurks the tongue-in-cheekness you've come to expect.

A graduate student in music and anthropology writing a dissertation about music in Moravia, the eastern third of the Czech Republic. At some point, the Czech Republic's "second city" (that would be Brno) captured my attention, and I've since been blogging about events, arts, music, and other stuff—basically whatever interests me in and around the cityscape. I'm not living in Brno now, but I keep up with the cultural pulse from afar as best I can.

Of course, as Laura Swisher recalls, quoting Charlton Heston, "Blogs don't make people look stupid. People make people look stupid."

Heaven forbid we should see you get all emotional. But we eagerly await the black eyeliner just for a change of pace. (Forget the Van's shoes by all means even though the Bat'as are falling apart.)
