the devil you know is better than the devil you don't

I know, I've been terrible about posting anything this month. What can I say....February is a hellish time of year, in which all I do is complain about the never-ending winter and hibernate, and worship my new fake-sunlight lamp. It is now, according to the calendar, March, but it's also snowing and we are forcasted to receive another 8-16 inches over the next day. Yes, I know I was excited about the snow back in December, but that was before we'd gotten 17 feet of it. I'm seriously considering moving to...somewhere else. Anywhere else, as long as it's warmer.

Enough about that. See, I haven't posted in weeks because really that's all I've had to say, well, that and funny cat pictures, and how much of that would it take for everyone to stop reading my blog forever? Not very long at all.

The one exciting thing that did happen this month was that my brother's girlfriend Shannon's dance company, zoe|juniper, came to Boston to perform at the Institute for Contemporary Art. We got to see one of the performances of the piece, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't, and it was amazing. I don't think I've seen a dance performance since college, so it was an unusual treat. The performance combines modern dance with video work and music and it's beautiful and weird and creepy all at the same time. We also had the chance to talk about the performance with Shannon afterwards, and hearing about the piece from one of the dancers added a lot to my understanding and thoughts.

Here's a clip of a section I liked; there are lots more on youtube:
