This was me. I had no intention of being cheerful and optimistic. After all, teh world is coming to an end and we’re all going to die. And my doggie got skunked. What do I have to be happy about? Then I read about a strange fish called Barreleye.  It has a transparent head. How [...]

Through what I can only describe as cosmic convergence, I discovered the most beautiful rock n roll band in the world. The convergence covers brings together some of my most favorite things in the world: the early 1970′s L. A. rock scene, groupies, gorgeous men in drag, fabulous rock-n-roll, and above of all, my love [...]

Been busy being vilely ill and writing my Magnum Opus, so just a little tit-bit for entertainment: When I do get back to blogging, I’ve got two words for you: Shady Lady and Zolar X. Your minds will be blown, this I can promise.

The funkiest turtle I’ve ever seen was introduced to me by my fave website BoingBoingdotnet. He’s a true punk and rocks the green mohawk. My turtle and tortoise loving friend The Floyd, tells me you have to scrub captive turtles or they grow the algae. Guess this feller hasn’t had a good scrub in ages, [...]

Apologies to Alex Trebek, Sony Pictures, and Merv Griffin (RIP) but while waiting for work to walk through the door, a discussion took place between myself and a few coworkers, all of us with a similar love of the things that make our town the place it is. The result of which was a game [...]

    From the Deep Creek Times of McHenry, Maryland via the Fortean Times. The fawn evidently followed the beagle home and through the doggie door. As soon as I saw the photo, I melted. I dare you to not melt. If you don’t melt, I will consider you to be a vile human being, [...]

Sixty three years ago, the first atomic bomb, named Trinity, was exploded in the Alamagordo Bombing Range in the New Mexico Desert. I won’t go into the history of the Manhattan Project, we should all know it by now, this anniversary reminds me of the reason we live in fear on a nearly daily basis. This [...]

On Sunday,  Peromyscus blogged on a piece I had found interesting, the Sunday Times article on the state of music by Simon Jenkins. Peromyscus spoke to the author’s assertion that rather than the disconnect afforded by the Internet, people were craving congregation. Do use the link I provided to check out L. Hopwood’s thoughts, it’s what I thought when I read first read the [...]

I have a lovely aunt who sends me lots of cool stuff she finds on the internet. She never sends me bambi mail, except once when I had been out of communication for a very long time due to an existential crisis. Then she sent one about sisters mothers aunts etc that was guaranteed to [...]
