Reach out…and talk to someone…

The semester is over… and the anime-niacs were back this weekend.  On what seems like a personal anniversary for this blog I once again saw our costumed friends roaming the streets of Boston and it reminded me that I probably haven’t been as actively blogging as I should be lately.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, though.  As much as I like firing off letters into cyberspace, it also feels good to go out & throw a frisbee, kick a ball around or even just talk to someone.  It seems everyone is tethered to their iPhone, Blackberry, or laptop these days.  Walking through the Stata Center during lunch I find it odd to see everyone sit shoulder to shoulder, eating their lunch, only to be silently staring into a computer screen, checking their Facebook account or Twittering. I’m about as guilty of this as the next person, but for all our sakes, I hope this is not a bottomless trend toward stupidity.

So in keeping with this theme… I’m gonna keep this post brief and just suggest that everyone give their fingers some rest and go outside and enjoy the summer!

    You seem to know a bit about anime… or Anime Boston, at least.

    Are you a fan?

    hah… it’s more like i live very close to where the convention is held so it’s hard not to notice when it’s going on… :)

    Summer vacation is nearly over, and the Ninja is back!

    I suspect he’s a closet anime fan, who watches episodes of Naruto all the time.

    Speaking of, what DO you do for fun. I assume graduate studies and research does not occupy 100% of your waking moments.

    Pleading the 5th?! LOL!
    Looking forward to seeing that 2nd question addressed.
