How was my Thanksgiving weekend? Why, how kind of you to ask! Let me tell you.
There was much football watching, as there were many exciting games. Arkansas beating LSU, Central barely beating Gateway after it seemed like a sure thing, Kentucky and Tennessee, Eagles and Patriots (I actually fell asleep during this one, but only [...]
I’ve only gotten ONE response to the quiz. DON’T LET THAT PERSON WIN BY DEFAULT! If you don’t have any idea, just GUESS FOR FOOK’S SAKE. Don’t be lazy. I’ll extend the deadline to 4PM today whenever I bloody well decide to end it, for all you late comers and lazy poops. You’re making me [...]
This weekend I got the brand new Daniel Higgs (he’s Daniel “belteShazzar” Higgs this time around) record, Metempsychotic Melodies, as well as last year’s Ancestral Songs (credited to Daniel (Arcus Incus Ululat) Higgs, Interdimensional Song-Seamstress). In lieu of a traditional review, I present to you a contest:
Following are ten excerpts of verse. Some are from [...]
I had an entertaining/interactive post all drafted up for you but I saved it to my flash drive and my flash drive finally stopped working completely. So that won’t be posted until the next time I’m on my laptop on the internet, which could be as early as this evening? In the meantime, entertain yourself [...]
It’s been a while since I made a comics post, but this sage advice from Rex to Niki just screamed at me. That’s what big brothers are for, I suppose.
Here’s a book report I wrote. Sometimes I do this shit for fun. Not a book report on something you’d want to read, a book report on a French theorist talking about technics. Hopefully one or two people will find it to be interesting in some sense.
I’d preface this by noting that I’m [...]
Last night’s show at Roboto was excellent — Horseback is on the tail end of their tour (semi-pun semi-intended) but if you get a chance check them out. Their set was very different from the album but very good.
Next big exciting thing I know of music-wise (sorry if I miss something) is Centipede releasing an [...]
Last night I watched Nova about the Dover Schools intelligent design case thing. It was actually really good — check it out in reruns or watch it online or whatever if you have a couple extra hours (I know, I know). Best moment: when they’re discussing how the authors of the textbook that touts intelligent [...]
Friday evening I saw a quick report on the evening news about how the city had found the tree that would become this year’s downtown Christmas tree. Being naive, I always assumed that they trucked the thing in from Indiana County or whatever. Wrong: they found this year’s tree in Summer Hill. Growing, as it [...]
Alright, as promised, new things I wrote — like I mentioned, they’re the posi-est music articles I’ve written probably, with the possible exception of Midnite Snake (though that was only arguably posi, as I did highlight their dysfunctions . . .
Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Horseback
For good measure, our Film Festival reviews — the new one [...]
