2014
I got appropriately drunk on New Year's Eve, so much so that I took a genuine mirror selfie, no camera phone flip screen because those always turn out 50% more ugly. Why is that, by […]
Mostly Me
Soft Serve
I don't think Stephen Malkmus looks like a lesbian but he couldn't go without comment considering that he is an aging indie due and his band has a new song called, "Cinnamon and Lesbians." I […]
And
A poorly articulated point/question from the previous ramble (sometimes it feels good to go old school livejournal style) was whether it’s better to overextend yourself and be comfortable otherwise or be frugal and make compromises? […]

So far it looks like my first experience as a semi-airbnb host (yes, totally illegal for renters–don't get me evicted) went smoothly. The only trauma detected upon my arrival on Christmas day was a yellowish […]

Unlicensed
Once again, proving how deep in denial I am, I watched, The World's End, a comedy chock-full of late '80s-1990 UK "alternative" music (Inspiral Carpets, The Sundays, Soup Dragons) because the group of now-grown men […]
