strictly roots.
Long time no post.
Speaking of long time, it had been a while since I went to Paul’s and actually bought music (lay the blame squarely on bit torrent, with a certain amount of fault resting on poverty as well). So I did that today. I got Rhys Chatham’s Die Donnergotter double LP, LIMITED EDITION GATEFOLD [...]
Tonight, at Garfield Artworks, Pony Pants (from Philly) with each of my roommates’ bands. PP are apparently blogging their tour for Philly’s City Paper (thanks for the heads up, herjazz!)
8PM or so? I think. I don’t go places much these days because I read and do homework instead, so come see me in a context [...]
It’s called “plain text.”
No seriously, I don’t know why my blog looks like this. Chalk one up for NOT using the free wordpress.com hosting — I kinda wish I could figure this out. I guess maybe my regular formatting will return at some point soon? If not, I guess I find a new theme?
Here I am.

Birthday weekend is complete. My 2-year-old niece is certifiably insane and repeats everything over and over and it’s equal parts endearing and annoying in the funny way. I have a sweet new Scrabble game.
The sick won’t let me go. Every time I have a good day, the [...]
I will be off the internet from this evening until Sunday night, most likely. Going to the parents’ house to chill hard and collect my birthday loot. If you have any pressing issues, do get in touch with me via the pony express. I’ll try to watch cable TV and write down the amusing anecdotes. [...]
Poor Aldo. Is that the hillside above route 65 he’s trying to navigate there? What’s with the sudden jaggedy-edged dropoff with no guardrail? Dude better call up Edgar Snyder before he talks to ANYONE about this one. Hide the bottle first, of course.
The last two nights I managed to catch Jack Horkheimer, Star Hustler and he pointed out to me that I should look in the western sky about 45 minutes after sundown on Monday and Tuesday to catch the waxing crescent moon flanked by Jupiter. With a telescope I could see Jupiter’s four biggest moons. Jupiter [...]
I am down with the sick; it has gotten me. It’s an odd sort of head cold which masquerades at night sometimes as a fever. I don’t think my temperature has actually been up, though, I’ve just gotten the dreams. Sound fun? It’s not. The dreams are about being locked in an urgent battle to [...]
Also, since I need to make up for those six days when I was ostensibly missing from blogland:
Today in class — well, before class actually started — I made a passing reference to Sharkleberry Fin, that pink tropical flavor of Kool-Aid that was my lifesaver during the tumultuous gangland years of the early 1990s in [...]
As noted by me, then forgotten, then noted by Keith and therefore remembered by me: yesterday’s Opus was simple, poignant and beautiful — like a miniature Charlie Brown Christmas for the agnostic crowd.
Also, you may notice in my blogroll now — Mary Worth has a blog. Agreed with Bob Subdivided on the fact that this [...]
