[I want you to do me what to show]Built to Spill is playing at the Young Avenue Deli May 23. I’m off that day, and it is going to be awesome. Also, Jack White is in town working on a project and was at an Enon show Phil was supposed to go to with Jamie but forgot about. That stings.
[For what it’s worth]While my heart goes out to Terri Schiavo and her parents and husband, I can’t help but feel that the Congressional hullabaloo her situation has evoked is little more than strategic, hypocritical pandering. Call me a cynic if you must. But this guy pretty much sums it up best: “By now most people who read liberal blogs are aware that George W. Bush signed a law in Texas that expressly gave hospitals…
[Tickle my nausea]This is for the giant roach that tried to scurry away when I turned on the bathroom light. He fought me valiantly but ultimately I smothered and smashed him out of existence beneath the cheerful yellow bathmat, while Gonzo looked on in abject horror. “Bugs”By Pearl Jam I got bugsI got bugs in my roombugs in my bedbugs in my earstheir eggs in my headbugs in my pocketsbugs in my shoesbugs in the…
[Happiness is all the rage]We decided to tackle the beastly spare room today. It’s been a mess of boxes since we moved in, and all our guests have had to sleep in a sparse, depressing little room that smelled of cardboard and dust. So I hung some posters up and condensed the boxes down so that we could get most of them in the closet. We ran across a couple of boxes full of Phil’s…
[Star Wars sucks, remember?]For whatever reason, I’ve decided to redesign the SWISH site. I had been toying with the idea of taking it offline and giving it a graceful burial, but as I clicked through 49 pages of hilarious hateful messages from people I don’t even know, I decided that there’s no way I could allow such utterly brilliant comedy to be lost in oblivion. But I am removing all references to myself and the…
[Neither here nor there]I haven’t posted anything that means anything in a while. I go on rants in my head several times a day when I read stories about all the stuff that riles me. But I’m always too tired to talk about any of it here. I don’t really have any tasks to list and check off and keep myself on top of everything, like I did when I was in school. I blog…
[There is nothing like a song]“No need to press for conceptual perfection. The concensus of the wise has been that music is unique among the arts because it operates on the same plane as the unmediated, the given. It belongs to sensation itself, to bodily existence and, for that very reason, it elevates that existence in a way no other art can match. Music takes hold of you on levels of your being that precede…
[Geese and ganders and lying bastards]So Congress doesn’t want to raise minimum wage to a point where a person working full-time will rise above the poverty line. OK. But Bush is jetting around the country trying to convince a nation of skeptics that the time is now to reform Social Security by privatizing it (if you can really call it privatizing; I understand that this is up for dispute). One of Bush’s main arguments for…
[The big 4-9]Happy birthday to my mom. I saw a funny episode of the Cosby Show yesterday when Cliff turned 50 (hey, just like my dad a couple of weeks ago). The kids put together a flip chart presentation of things older than dad, including the wheel, fire, and dirt. It was pretty funny. So here’s to my parents, who have a combined century of wisdom and wrinkles and grey hair and good credit. Cheers!
[Shoot all the super heroes from your skies]I. I always thought that I would cry if I ever got pulled over. Well, I didn’t. And I still got off pretty easy, considering I was doing 67 in a 55, yacking away on my cell phone with Cox at friggin’ midnight. And I didn’t have my license. Well, I had it, but I didn’t know I had it because I couldn’t find it in my cavernous…
