In which I’ve quit smoking. Yet again. [dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen you get a lung infection severe enough your doctor gives you an asthma treatment five minutes after you present with what you think is just a bad cold, you pretty much quit smoking on the spot. Quitting is pretty easy, really. You just screw up your self […]
In which there’s a video. Apropos of nothing is this amazing Polaroid video! Don’t even get me started on the soundtrack. It’s, like, Star Trek-er-iffic.
In which there’s a trip to the clinic. [dropcap]T[/dropcap]hursday night at the gig, someone asked me if I had walking pneumonia. Today I googled it, and yeah, I have all the symptoms — but it was already Friday afternoon and I didn’t get the impression I was going to drop dead from it and sure, […]

In which apparently I am too busy. [dropcap]I[/dropcap] check my website daily to see if anything’s happening. I think some part of me seriously expects to find brilliant posts that I haven’t written enjoying all kinds of comments and traffic. In lieu of content, this:
In which this shit really happens. “But it worked yesterday!” The fact that something works today does not guarantee it will work tomorrow. Have you ever had an appliance that quit working? Computers are like that. One day it works, the next day it blows up. Shit happens. “But everything else works fine.” This is […]
In which I bitch about my good fortune! [dropcap]I[/dropcap] spent two years unemployed. It was — after blocking out the stress and fear of being only moderately employable during a very deep recession — freakin’ wonderful.
