Last night I kept thinking I smelled syrup. This was odd because
I don’t own syrup
I haven’t eaten anything with syrup in weeks
It was fleeting. I only smelled it briefly and sporadically. But I mentioned it to my girlfriend on the phone with her last night, so I’m not making this up.
My friend […]
I’ve been using MovableType for over a year now. I’ve learned it capabilities and limitations and all around I really like it. It’s flexible, allows you a lot of template control, and if you like to get your hands dirty, it’s a good primer for the nuts and bolts of setting up a […]
My Favorite Overbearing British Bassists That Broke Up Their Bands
Published October 25th, 2005 in Ideas. 1 CommentIn no particular order:
Roger Waters
Sting
Paul McCartney
This seems to be a curious trait common to many insanely talented, egomaniacal Birtish bassists, who are also lead vocalists. I remember reading (I’ll try to find the actual quote) that Sting said something along the lines of “I love playing the bass and singing because that way I […]
Way to make the same mistake the Beatles did. Even harmless, hypothetical comparisons to Jesus Christ’s popularity are met with ridiculously overblown basklashes, not to mention death threats.
Update: stepinrazor tipped me off to this full-fledged cross mp3 player. Reminds me of an old Lou Diamond Phillips movie (aren’t they all at this point) […]
I know this is a niche blog. Read solely by friends that may or may not have blogs, and the random blogger that happens upon my site. It’s true, it’s true, I don’t try to delude myself. So talking about Flock won’t really be news, just some early fawning adoration over an […]
Brutally Murder Your TV in Cold Blood Just to Watch It Die
Published October 21st, 2005 in Ideas. 6 CommentsThose of you who know me personally know I’m not a violent person. I love all of God’s creatures, and most of His appliances as well, and would never do Them any harm. But since moving in July, I have been without a television, and you know what? I haven’t looked back.
Besides […]
The Times recently wrote about the gentrification of Avenue C. Avenues A and B are pretty watered down at this point, but Loisaida Ave. still has a “surgical supply” store for all your fresh syringe needs. The article makes a good distinction by pointing out that C’s hot spots are more loungy with […]
Well I thought I was joking, but it seems the cool thing to do is stop blogging. Just a few months after blog was voted word of the year by Daniel Webster himself, it’s been replaced by quit.
Blog staple Tale of Two Cities is jumping ship after just shy two years. […]
When I Said I’d Rather Eat Broken Glass, I Was Kidding
Published October 18th, 2005 in Headlines. 0 CommentsBig story in the news today, folks. A rap concert broke out in total mayhem.
Apparently, it’s customary to greet the crowd with insults and douse them with water. Then, when they throw the water bottles back at you, simply escalate the violence by showering them in broken glass from the balcony. This […]
