Today I was hired as the City Editor of the Pulse. I'll be developing and managing a weekly news section, as well as increasing my previously unofficial work on editing and writing feature stories. I'll still toss off movie reviews on the side. It's my first honest-to-goodness journalism job in years, and I'm thrilled. Plus, I get to work for Bill, and you know how sexy he is.
In celebration, I'm off to Nashville for the $10 Ben Folds concert. And heck, now seems as good a time as any to post my September mixtape playlist. It started as an attempt to create a wordless mix, but only the first five tracks ended up instrumental. Now the whole thing has, unintentionally, developed a certain "descent into depravity" theme to it, with a fantastic moment of recognition at the very end. Bobby still blows me away.

During breaktime, while the smokers in my training group congregate around the corner and whisper to eachother, I pick up the Pulse and read a few pages. And I always turn to see your sweet face. I have even told Demetrius who sits by me that I know you, and he is quite impressed.
