To get back on top of the self-promotional thing:
We’re playing tomorrow night at Roboto with The Drift. Come see. Maybe go see Lovers too if you want.
Then, next Thursday, April 6: Emperor X – Franklin Delano – Aydin – .isha&zetta. at Modernformations.
Here are some MP3s for you to listen to and get psyched for [...]
Whereas, this is the kind of weather in which I can sit outside and read a book and feel okay about myself and not like a waster of time, and,
Whereas, I’m not getting too far with the OED book because there are too many stodgy old white dudes with attitudes, and,
Whereas, I’ve heard that as [...]
I was alerted recently that some folks from the workplace might be getting together a kickball team to compete in the Pittsburgh league of the World Adult Kickball Association. You pay $65 per person and get the added bonus of a t-shirt.
A better idea is to lay down $8 (plus shipping I guess) and [...]
A long post that hopefully comes off more as an analysis and commentary than as a rant.
As promised, a response to the discourse on MySpace, currently being thrown down by danah boyd and Abe and William from abstractdynamics, and surely many others. I know you’re on MySpace, and so is your dog and your cat [...]

So, I actually finished a book for once, that being the one I alerted you earlier, The Bride and the Bachelors. I guess the last chapter, the one on Merce Cunningham, was added for the later edition that I had, and wasn’t in the original run, and it sort of shows, like in the time [...]
Re: abortion in South Dakota, by way of herjazz:
Establishing Planned Parenthood on a reservation
I had planned, and even begun work on, a post about trees near work and their removal and the ensuing internet quarreling, but I’ve had zero time for writing lately, being busy at work and at home, so I’ll finish it up later if it doesn’t become ridiculously dated by the time I get to [...]
Ways to make it actually feel like spring:
- Listen to Dino Jr.
- Drink Lipton Original Green Tea with Honey.
- Observe the sun being out (okay it’s gone now, but it was out earlier, I promise).
- Play a show tomorrow night at Roboto with A Day in Black and White. I’m cheating now, I totally could’ve [...]
