Song of the Ancients
Okay, here's the thing.

As I noted yesterday, I wanted to go out and get completely drunk. So I did.

I started at the taphouse, sampling four different beers. Then, before I went to the movie theater, I stopped by a pizza place that also has beer. I sat at the bar and looked at the draft beer list. Some of the beers seemed interesting, so I waited. And I waited. And I waited some more.

I'm used to being invisible, but I was more invisible when I weighed more. Now, there's no excuse. I think I gave them a fair chance, but no one came over to offer me beer after several minutes, so I left.

The movie theater was reprising the movie "Parasite." I'd heard good things about it, so I arranged to see it. I don't know if it's because I was completely wasted, or something innate to me, but I reiterate my storytelling mantra here:

Incomprehensibility is not depth.

So.

Because I'm drunk, I'm not in any condition to go through my extensive list of blog fodder and provide biting commentary on something to do with science, math, philosophy, or popular culture. Instead, I'm just going to post a link to a favorite blog of mine, where the author discusses what might be the oldest piece of music in history.

Tomorrow, I'll likely be in my right mind again. Until then, this is the best I can do.

As an aside for fellow Battlestar:Galactica fans, no, this isn't "All Along The Watchtower."
