NP: CMJ New Music Monthly, Volume 121

So, my roommate got engaged over the weekend, with all the congratulations that would entail. What I found either amusing or disturbing was the first or second thing she told me after showing me the ring being that this wouldn't have any implications on our living arrangements until the end of our current lease.

Amusing, because she knows me well enough to know that my mind immediately goes to logistical implications of things like this. Disturbing, because, well, my mind immediately goes to logistical implications of things like this.

Now we've got my brother and my roommate in the queue to get hitched. If these sorts of things -- like so many other things -- happen in threes, I'm a little curious as to who's next.

In an ideal world, I wouldn't have posted this next to something about genocide in Darfur. That should in no way be taken as a reflection of my opinions on the institution of marriage.
