strictly roots.
Last night I watched MY FAVORITE SUMMER TV SHOW, America’s Got Talent, and wrote some remarks on it then left them on my computer at home. Perhaps I’ll edit them and update you at some later point. I’ll give you this much: I was not very entertained by The Hoff this time around. He better [...]
If I keep up at this pace, I’ll have to create an “idiot letters to the editor” category and do some retroactive tagging. Today’s entry is actually from Saturday’s P-G. Maybe I find this one more obnoxious than most others because I have to deal with people like this as part of my job. Our [...]
It’s been a week and a half since I last updated you on my mundane life. Where do I even start? Does it matter? Things of late: Dreams about fish in a fish bowl, and about playing baseball in gym class, and one somehow involving my nephews. Speaking of baseball — took my dad to [...]
Yesterday there was a standoff in Greentree as a suspected rapist refused to surrender to police and wielded a gun when they attempted to arrest him. This morning’s P-G holds a photo of the suspect being taken into custody, and while you can’t tell very well from this shot that’s online: YES that is a [...]
Also, I’ve been meaning to call your attention to this hilarious (albeit depressing) letter from the P-G from a couple weeks ago: Our sinking society When opposition to a man marrying a man and a woman marrying a woman is called (by a representative of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania) “disgraceful, morally wrong,” you see morality [...]

(Cute pop two-piece from here) ModernFormations // 4919 Penn Ave. // Saturday June 14 // 8pm // byob // $7 Email [...]
These are a real thing — this is kind of like a follow-up post to the “Cosmic Brownies” of a few weeks ago. I guess they’re nothing new — there’s apparently a YTMND devoted to them — but I saw them for the first time the other day at the grocery store and I was [...]
Hey! For those of you who like boring stuff, and/or are interested in what made me so busy and irritable for the past couple weeks, click here and read about PBS pledge drives. For those of you who like rock n roll, click here and read what I had to say about the new Modey [...]
Okay so I was really busy last week. Really really busy. Watch out for my cover story in this week’s paper. It won’t actually be on the cover, I don’t think, because it’s not very appealing art-wise. But it’ll be the main feature. What else has happened lately? Went to Phipps Friday night with the [...]
