All alone love-struck for a dizzy moment (Emo Week Continues!!)
It has been a very long time since I’ve been moved by a girl in any inexplicable way. For the greater part of this past year romance has felt like a very dead, far away thing to me, to the point that listening to swaggering love songs has reminded me of nothing more than sitting [...]

Samurai movies and leftover burritos: my life as a bachelor!
Goodness, I am tired! But I promised myself that I would write something tonight. Hang on, it’s too hot to write with pants on… Ah, thats better. It’s also too hot to write with socks on. One of the best things about clothing is that it can both go ON and come OFF! Hoorah! Anyway, [...]

Shake your tail!
Sleater-Kinney wrapped up their final east coast tour last night with a show in Washington D.C., leaving just today’s performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago, and two farewell concerts in Portland before the band enters the netherword of “indefenite hiatus.” The D.C. show initially had to be rescheduled because the venue almost burned down, but National [...]

???
A good half of the Internet seems to be down for no particular reason. Trying to go to any web site is basically a crap-shoot right now, because the odds seem equal that it may or may not exist. Did some very large servers go down somewhere? Was there a natural, Inter-net-destroying-disaster that I am [...]
