Did I mention that we went to the Chihuly exhibit last weekend? No? Tough noogies, you get photos…

Swag. Those that get it, deride it; those who lack it, covet it. This I have observed with clinical objectivity form my position of covetous swaglessness and, lo, it rankles. Am I…

Part II of my swag review: Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer. Part I is immediately below. I know it’s asking a lot but it would mean so much to your mother if you read it…

Time for transit! Here’s part 1. Give me a freaking break. I’m a busy man.
The new bus is a new experience, an exercise in veneer. I’m…

Yesterday I waxed unenthusiastic about my new commute to work. My vitriol was unexpended by that rant, so I continue unabated:
The route, too, seems to weave through town so as…

Freaking ridiculous, or as the ancients put it, freakus ridiculousus. August is turning out to be as intense and demanding as I could ever have expected, and my expectations were high. …

I didn’t usually ride the bus with anyone - fellow riders shared the space with me but not my company, by apparently mutal consent. But this particular Wednesday I’d met up…

OH MY FREAKING GOD this month of August will NOT END. I realize that it may look like september where you’re sitting but this is the THIRD TIME I’m trying to get this post up, as it…

Happy friday and good riddance to this week. Damn but it’s been hard to bounce back, and this is coming from one who bounces for both fun and profit on the US Pro-Am Bouncing circuit. …

This was going to be a day with no postings, and I had a very clear sense of what the next post was going to be. Lesson learned: I don’t know squat and maybe that’s for the best. …

I just posted this to fieldreport.com, too. Can’t spread it too thin, am I right people?
It being a Friday morning, I take the 38 bus to work. Since lately I’m…

Coming home that Friday night, I had a predisposition towards things musical. I’d started the day receiving an unexpected trove of something that was indubitably music, followed by a long…

There’s a lot of other stuff to catch you up on but the short version is everything’s fine and no news from Korea yet. Meanwhile, I’ve got the third of three music-related posts…

In lieu of an actual post, which will likely be sprawling and not quickly accomplished, here’s a disquieting vision of the things that impact me and how I respond to them. It’s powerful…

The fell anniversary has come and gone but I grant myself the latitude and grace to make this a catch-up post.
Anniversaries recall to our ears the lingering resonance of events that…

This is, indeed, a “warp-up” of the weekend (I just tried spelling that without a hyphen and didn’t like the imagery of a bellicose dogbaby, so there you have it, hypenated and don’t…

I’ve wanted for days just to slam a little essay up here about an old train car. It’s all written up with a photo and everything. Bastardsuckers won’t give a man a break…

(update: photos from the hike are posted under “photos.” There are plenty of them so use the monthly archive to see them all. Collect them! Trade them with your friends!)
…
okay, the site’s been down for a week, during which time I did one hell of a lot of stuff and the site gathered a lot of spam. The site, as you may infer from this postlet, has been restored…

We’re now at the trailing edge of the Days of Awe, the period from Rosh Hashona to Yom Kippur when we’re all supposed to, as the ancients advised us, get our shit together - for the next…

This appears to have been one of those times that I built something up in my mind a little too grandly, but in my own defense, I think that’s what they intended. “One track” thinking…

In the festival of delights that is my life these days, I seem to have lost an entire rather lengthy post. In it I described in great detail my activities over the past few weekends, including…

First, a little catch-up: I’ve been busy as hell. I’d like to be posting more; hell, I’d like to be writing more. I’ve actually been using my precious writing-time…

so this is rather out of my usual way of doing things here but I feel compelled to share the following incident:
I just got to work and I’m on my way down the hall to get a cup of coffee. …

When my vitamin water burst last week in my messenger bag (and yes I clearly earned the karma, see if I learn anything) the casualties included my charming old writing notebook, which is okay because…

I may not be good at taking hints but maybe y’all would like a little something less wordacious while you gear up for a pre-pre-election monday, or whatever kind of monday you’re having…

I’ve aged. The neighborhood has aged. Everybody I know has aged. So it seems to me a little strange that hte guy I’ve never spoken to dosn’t seem to have aged a day. …

I suspect you’re sick of reading this, because I know I’m sick of writing it - but damn I am out of spare time like nobody’s business. Add to everything else going on that I’m…

Not what I usually do here but it’s not a usual day - I recommend Posted on Nov. 04, 2008 • [5] • print
