In which I’m not looking forward to the upcoming Even Greater Depression. 1. Fox News lies regularly, and this behavior isn’t even illegal. The country is fractured, and it’s partialy because news reportage is terribly damaged. The people who watch one station honestly believe the people who watch another station are insane because they can’t […]
In which it still fucking hurts and I sorta feel like I should be over it, but I’m not. I had Bindu put down a year ago today. She’d had about a dozen painful heart attacks. She had advanced heart, liver, and Cushing’s diseases. She was going deaf and didn’t seem to see very well. […]
In which I HAZ A MAD. Dear cell phone carrier, JUST FUCKING TELL ME HOW MUCH IT COSTS WHEN I ASK. I’m going to sign up anyway, and your stupid contract will ensure I can’t go anywhere. Do not tell me “it’s sixty-nine ninety-five a month,” when that number is as related to how much […]
In which it’s all peace and sunshine! People are rioting in the UK, and apparently no one can figure out why. (Hint: happy people don’t riot.) Egypt thinks they’re doing it wrong, and Egypt’s right. Authorities are freaking out that rioters are coordinating via technology so watch this space for more legislation seeking control and […]
In which I suggest that the American Dream is propaganda. I spend a lot of time on Twitter, and I’m following more and more political feeds (as a result of my fascination with Anonymous). I now even see tweets I disagree with, because my timeline’s not as curated as it once was. And so this[*] […]
In which there’s an incoherent brain dump on love, desire, and the mind. I am surrounded by human beings who appear to be quite infatuated with romantic love and/or the frequency and quality of sexual intercourse they are (or aren’t) experiencing. As I’m currently seeking neither romantic love nor sex, I end up watching behaviours […]
In which everyone wants to be thin and rich and have great sex. They also want to be more right than everyone else about what God wants. The top 25 most-highlighted books on the Kindle are about vanity and fucking, the love of money, self-help, and God. The Bible appears five times. The other “religious” […]
In which I do something I don’t think I’ve ever done here: give a vocal lesson! I have a friend who kicks ass when she shows up at karaoke. She’s been in bands. She’s a singer. She comes to my gigs sometimes. She posted this article on Facebook today, and I read it, and damn […]
In which I’m kinda busy! Last weekend, I had a total blast at Sunbanks (a blues festival near Grand Coulee). Coyote Kings and I played the 2:30 slot on Saturday, and we had an encore and everything! It was freakin’ awesome! The crowd was amazing. Then we stayed for another 24 hours and talked to […]
