warning: i’m about to go on and on about books.
but before i begin, i’d like to say that Skinny Puppy is not good working. or maybe it’s just the kind of work i’m doing. or maybe it’s just Too Dark Park. either way, i can’t say that i recommend Skinny Puppy for writing excessively long [...]
there has been some crappy news lately (in fact, a revision to the end of year survey i took in a previous post. someone did die). and just today a little more bad news. but i am choosing to pretend that didn’t happen to focus on the lazy, present-laden Christmas we just spent with my [...]
before she died, she wrote a book about her friends. she and i had talked about it quite a bit, it wasn’t your typical novel writing. she wanted to be a teacher, specifically a middle school age teacher and this book was a snapshot in time for children of that age or perhaps a bit [...]
i have a sneaking suspicion that today is not going to be very productive. i have Thursday and Friday off and already i’m thinking about the cookies i’m planning on making all day tomorrow. it’s hard for me to really get into Christmas, but cookies often help … cookies and music.

despite being ill on Friday, i managed to yank myself together for a show i was definitely not going to miss (unlike Slayer Friday night). there has been so much hype about the band Arcade Fire that you might dismiss them as the next hot thing (see Scissor Sisters). but i’m here 2 tell you, [...]
over the past couple of months, i have had this feeling of dread every time my mother’s number appears on my phone. it’s not because i don’t want to talk to her, in fact i speak with her constantly. i have just had this feeling that she’s going to have bad news about my stepfather. [...]
whew! i am actually still full from dinner last night. for me, that’s not usually a good thing. to take my mind off of it, let’s talk about music.
Mark has a bunch of songs he has been working on and i am hoping that he finds a need for some tambourine. or some cowbell. i [...]
