January 2010
Oh what a day. Missed my 6AM flight back to the Ice Hole. Still in Texas. Good stories forthcoming…maybe. :)
Carne Guisada, check. Margarita, check. Now onto to beer fest/bbq kick off for San Antonio rodeo.

Real Truth Spoken Plainly
“I ain’t ever been lost, but I’ve wondered around for a while.”
Blargh!
I’ve literally been in a plane, in a car, at my desk, or hiding from the snow every daylight hour since 1/13. That means it’s been 15 days since I’ve gotten in a good run. I feel like a soft, fat, lazy, tired, no-energy, ambitionless bubble of lard. UGH.
Am I the only person in the tumblverse not watching Saints vs. Vikings?
Oh, PBS, you know I love you
I don’t watch much TV, but when I do, I usually watch PBS because I’m a cheapskate who refuses to pay for cable and PBS sucks the least of all the non-cable networks. Anyway, all of that babble to tell you that I’m currently watching Lydia’s Italy. Her son is talking about a region of Italy that is known for making beer. He introduced the segment by saying,...

But, that makes sense, doesn’t it? If you believe it’s the government’s job to care for the poor, I can see why you’d be less apt to give. However, if you believe it’s not the government’s job to care for...

Is that a hint?
Class starts tomorrow, so I decided to go over to my office and finish some last minute prep. When I got there, however, I discovered that my keys no longer work for any of the outside doors.
So now I sitt here eating a red velvet cupcake, drinking a latte, listening to my favorite Sunday afternoon radio show and contemplating if the the powers that be at work are trying to tell me something

It sort of cracks me up that in the pic from the grocery store line on the back of Heartbreaker, Ryan appears to be buying d-CONN.
I think it’s a thinly veiled reference to death by Rat Poison. Haha. It’s always made me laugh. And Gillian is in line, too. And I think Brad Rice, maybe. I could be wrong on that last one.
It’s definitely Brad Rice in the...
Urban Art Epiphany
clarityunfiltered:
I had an art moment outside of Urban Outfitters earlier this afternoon. They had used spray paint on on the front window, and it got me thinking. I know, sounds lame to get ideas from Urban Outfitters, the king of overpriced hip, and the place one is most likely to say, ‘I could totally make that home.’ But seriously y’all, this is going to be rad. It involves stencils, which,...

??Question of the Day??
I welcome answers from anyone, but I’m especially interested in what those of you who do or have lived in the Southeast think.
If you could live anywhere between Louisiana and North Carolina where would you pick and why?

Paste is giving away mp3's
sassy-meditations:
“Like so many others, Paste has been moved by the tragedy facing the survivors of the Haitian earthquake. We spread the word to many of the musicians we work with via the magazine about launching Songs for Haiti. It’s way to raise money and keep awareness high by offering free MP3s to everyone who donates to help Haiti (through Songs for Haiti or, indeed, any charity)....
on the new dr. dog album
cobwebs:
“The stylistic reference points of Dr. Dog remain on Shame, Shame but with a darker tone. It’s an album whose themes of doubt, confusion and unanswered questions are soothed by bright harmonies, taut guitar riffs and soaring melodies. From beginning to end, Shame, Shame is a record destined to claim its place on the timeless margins, untouched by modern tastes and content to exist on...
