Today I took to Madison avenue to get my daily picture, since I had passed by the Camp Electric Company’s building a hundred times but had never had time to stop and capture their rather rusty and Spartan sign. Nestled just next door to Camp is Sam Phillips Recording, a legendary entity in music if ever there was one. Here’s the sign on the side of the building that faces Madison: It’s a nifty sign,…
[for May 28] Memorial Day, spent at my aunt and uncle’s cabin in Parsons. I spent the whole day stuffing my face with burgers and macaroni and birthday cake (Grandmaw celebrates her entrance into the world on the 31st) and propping my feet up in the Chill Chair. Phil lounged in the hammock. Divine. Project 365
[for May 27] Today Phil and I drove in to Saltillo together and he fired up both of my parents’ grills and cooked up an enormous spread of burgers and sausages and chicken and hot dogs for our families. It was a rare treat — getting both families (though incomplete) together for dinner, and having Phil get down in his element to cook for everyone. We sat out on the patio and took turns chasing…
[for May 25] Kids, I’m pooped. The zombie walk went absolutely fabulously. There were waaaay more people who turned out than we ever expected. And they all looked FANTASTIC.

• Dried cherries from Walgreens. Dear god these things are amazing. • Jezzball. • Grow. • The new Kings of Leon album. Finally, I’ve come around to liking it after a month of feeling extremely “meh” about it. And I can pinpoint the exact moment my opinion changed: Mother’s Day, at my aunt and uncle’s cabin, just as a political discussion was getting heated and I realized I couldn’t sit there and not say anything…
[for May 22] Blue button-up shirt: $1.99 Coffee-stained striped tie: $.50 Getting chastised by the cashier for using a credit card on a $3 purchase: Priceless. Project 365
[for May 21] It’s funny that FearlessVK has a post up about parking garages and car-related woes today, because I had my own parking garage-related hijinks after I left, of all places, her downtown apartment tonight. This is what greeted me upon trying to exit the parking garage a couple of blocks from her place: An unmovable wall of metal, locked in place by unseen forces. (Is this normal? It seems kind of weird that…
