It’s over. | chanceler

https://thechanceler.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/its-over

September 2, 2010. From Split to Sarajevo. Thank you for reading my blog, if you’re my mom, one of my friends, one of my parents’ co-workers, or one of my co-workers. It was nice knowing that I had people following along! If you keep reading after this, it’s going to be a lot of semi-informed rambling, a potpourri of topics. It only seems daunting. Once you’re doing it, it’s easy. Around, either, for the same reason. You can always track down some English books. Hostels often have book exchanges. If you ...

A Story about the time it was really hot and no one could sleep due to the heat. August 18, 2010. Yesterday, Q and I lost ourselves in the warren of shops and stalls that is Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar. It was disorienting: from every side, shopkeepers pressed in, stepped in front, entreating and cajoling, “Yes, please” “Hola, una pregunta por favor, are you Spanish? Let me show you something special” “Bitte schön! 8221; “A nice mink vest for the lady? From → the trip. August 16, 2010. From → the trip. Istan...

why i will always be mediocre and sometimes downright worthless at bar trivia | chanceler

https://thechanceler.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/why-i-will-always-be-mediocre-and-sometimes-downright-worthless-at-bar-trivia

Why i will always be mediocre and sometimes downright worthless at bar trivia. February 9, 2011. And from a time even earlier than the porch singing, I remember being taken toa barn? Some big building in the middle of a field sweet with mown grass and clovers crushed by the milling crowd. I ran barefoot with other children. I think my dad introduced me to people in a kitchen full of smiling strangers. There was bluegrass somewhere in all that. Maybe it was my late uncle’s band? And many people have read ...

when things you vaguely remember from middle school might be relevant and useful today | chanceler

https://thechanceler.wordpress.com/2010/10/08/when-things-you-vaguely-remember-from-middle-school-might-be-relevant-and-useful-today

When things you vaguely remember from middle school might be relevant and useful today. October 8, 2010. One night after work last week, I spent over an hour watching “ It Gets Better”. Videos. They are touching outpourings of warmth from happy adults for GLBT students, strangers-who-are-not-strangers. I really like the project, but it has its detractors, people who think it doesn’t do enough. Over on Andrew Sullivan. I wish that I could bake a cake out of rainbows and smiles. If this country gets seriou...

some more thoughts on Bobby Hill | chanceler

https://thechanceler.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/some-more-thoughts-on-bobby-hill

Some more thoughts on Bobby Hill. March 9, 2011. Walking across campus, or driving without a passenger and with nothing pressing on my mind, I get a lot of good thinking done. On the way to the drycleaner’s today, I thought about:. At some point, do you lapse into intellectual laziness, comfortably borne along without having to do much thinking because other people already did it for you and laid it out in an easily digestible way? How guilty should you be? From → Uncategorized. Leave one →. You are comm...

montage tallying | chanceler

https://thechanceler.wordpress.com/2010/11/28/montage-tallying

November 28, 2010. Some people like spicy food and others don’t. Some people like romantic comedies, and others don’t. I sort of. Like romcoms, for some reason. Or I don’t. Them so much as I like watching them and getting offended about the way they portray women, and relationships, and. Anyway, there are things in life that are difficult to quantify, but being humans, we give it our best shot. Scoville units measure the piquancy of peppers. Piquancy! Love and Other Drugs. Is a bore and to be avoided.

total noise | chanceler

https://thechanceler.wordpress.com/2010/09/29/total-noise

September 29, 2010. This blog doesn’t get updated enough. It isn’t for lack of stuff to write about. It’s more like I am paralyzed and muted by the sheer volume of it all. (You could take volume as a signifier of quantity or of intensity, because I mean it both ways.). For example, the other night, my roommate and I found ourselves without plans, streaming Mystic Pizza from Netflix and drinking wine. I don’t want your pity! Are they really just creating a lot of noise, static with no signal? I think to m...

economics of hipsters/hopscotch | chanceler

https://thechanceler.wordpress.com/2010/09/15/economics-of-hipstershopscotch

September 15, 2010. Now that the dust has settled from Raleigh’s first Hopscotch. So let’s call that a success all-around. 8221; “Man, you’re lucky you live there.” Meanwhile, the out-of-town bands that play Hopscotch notice that it’s nice to play shows in Raleigh and are pumped to tour through NC in the future. The already-healthy music scene here becomes outrageously robust. This coming weekend) will, over time, beget more successful creative/cultural ventures that will help keep things dynamic and uni...
