Bacon, Underground Dining

31 May 2009

For almost a year, I’ve been toying with the idea of organizing an ‘underground dining’ club among my friends and meeting monthly to do wonderful/terrible things to food at somebody’s house.  Of course, since we’re not smuggling contraband truffles from France or cooking things that would violate Health Department standards, it’s not especially underground.  This [...]

Drag Me To Hell

28 May 2009

One of the enduring lessons of horror cinema is probably “Never fuck with gypsies.”  Seriously.  If you hit them with your car, embarrass them in public or even grab the last box of Fruity Pebbles at the grocery store, they will come after you and curse your ass.  Oh sure, you’ll try to appease them.  [...]

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist

27 May 2009

Growing up in Scranton, I’ve lived my entire life in the shadow of New York City. It’s just two hours north on a good day. I don’t go often enough that I can still admit that there are moments where NYC has a bit of a fantasy air about it, but it’s close [...]

Low Content Mode?

26 May 2009

This is essentially a post about my lack of posting.
I’ve been hard at work on the first part of Must Love Dice, a novella that will be serialized in the pages of this year’s issues of Grok (Alert Nerd Press’s quasiannual magazine), and the final push toward the first milestone has left me a bit [...]

Happy Memorial Day

25 May 2009

As I write this, it is 1:35 PM, and I was supposed to be at my sister’s for 1:00.
FML, as the kids say.

Friday Cover Songs

22 May 2009

None of these are terribly new or hard to find, but I enjoy them all.
Alanis Morrisette – My Humps
Ben Gibbard – Thriller
Bloc Party – Say It Right
Ted Leo – Since U Been Gone
I think this is going to be a thing going forward.  Good idea/bad idea?

Jefferson Stolarship Is Sick Of Being Single

22 May 2009

In anticipation of another blog project I’ve been toying around with, I’ve started read ‘chick lit’. It’s a safe bet that this heady blend of onanism/introspection and melodrama is up my alley, since I spend a good deal of my own personal time wallowing in my own onanistic, introspective melodrama. Hell, one of [...]

Wesa Gonna Die – The Phantom Menace Turns Ten

19 May 2009

I was twenty years old when The Phantom Menace came out.  In the intervening years, I have turned 21, graduated college, gone to graduate school, gotten engaged, gotten married, gotten divorced, switched jobs several times and finally turned 30, a number I never thought I’d hit.
I still love Star Wars, but Episode I changed my [...]
