Why I haven't posted in eight million years, Part II

Ok, you say, that accounts for September, but we're already halfway through October! what's the deal?

Good question. I don't really have an answer really, except to say that it seems to have something to do with the fact that I've lost all interest in reading books. I'm not sure I can articulate the connection, but I think it comes down to follow-through, which I've been lacking of late.

I have a stack of books by my bed that keeps growing. Normally, I'd be excited about the prospects that lay before me, but these days, I can't bear the thought of starting a new book, because I know it will take me about 6 months to finish it, given that my ability to stay awake and focused while reading is only good for about 500 words.

I don't even really feel like finishing this post, so in lieu of a snappy conclusion that ties all my disparate thoughts up in a neat little package that resembles something coherent, I present to you Shesaid's first video. It's a bit of old business I shot back in September with the best of intentions to share with you, our dear readers, a unique and intriguing bit of Portland, in which the fine folk gather for some family entertainment brought to you by Mother Nature. It's amateurish - definitely not my best work - but still kid of cool. Here's a little explainer from the Audubon Society of Portland:

Each September, thousands of migrating Vaux's Swifts use Chapman Elementary School's chimney as their nightly roost before continuing their journey to southern Central America and parts of Venezuela.

And on with the show ...
