The time has come! Fall has unofficially begun and brought with it the time to apply to PhD. with creative dissertation programs (any suggestions about programs, the application process, or how to maintain your composure when you just can't find doctoral program love are welcome).

In terms of songwriting, I am at the rehearsal and recording stage of the album that occupied part of this summer. I rejoice that it has reached the "so close I can taste it" phase, and when I can, I plan to update you folks about how to hear it. 

Well, summer arrived, and I hope to finish a songwriting project, read the English Literary Canon (GRE subject test!), and prepare for academics in the fall.
