Just got this in the mail today. I’ve been looking for Son House records ever since I saw It Might Get Loud.

My dad is still stuck in the ’90s when it comes to forwarding emails. I get a constant barrage of stuff ranging from “You know your old when…”  to weak right-wing propaganda. It wasn’t so bad when they came to my Yahoo address which is mostly junk mail anyway, but somewhere along the line he got my gmail address, and that’s the one that’s pushed to the phone and constantly checked.

On average, I’d say I read 1 in 5, this one came today, it was one of the amusing ones.

This is why I can’t get any work done at home.

Well the dog and the fact that I take videos of the dog on my lap then upload them to the internet and write silly blog posts about it.

Vampire Fight!

It looks like the crazed mutant is going to make it. My buddy is recovering better than expected.

Keep it up Brian, I expect to have drinks with next time I’m in town.

This is the route I took to school on my bike today.

The red X marks the spot where cyclist Virginia Heuer-Bowar was struck and killed by a motorist in 2008. It’s also where, three months later, newspaper columnist Joe Soucheray and a friend promised to run over any cyclists who got in their way.

I hope I don’t get murdered by any newspaper columnists while riding my bike.

Don’t worry, soon newspaper columnists won’t be able to afford cars.

I currently use Nullriver’s Connect360 to push media to my Xbox, but this looks like a nice alternative, especially if you have both a 360 and PS3.

He’s right. I especially like the “Google is doing a better job” section.

This looks like a handy plug-in to make sure your website is screen reader compatible.

Are you enjoying a jamocha shake from Arby’s? No? That’s too bad because mine is delicious.

Thanks to your recommendation, I am. It is delicious. And considering how I’m feeling today, it’s amazing how much a difference something as little as a milk shake can make. Sugar’s healing properties should never be underestimated.

I found out last night that one of my good friends in Arizona tried to commit suicide a couple of days ago. He failed, and he’s currently in the hospital fighting for his life. The details of the attempt aren’t important, but let’s just say that if he makes it, he’ll never be the same guy that all my friends know and love.

Since I moved I haven’t seen or got to hang out with Brian for a couple of years, but he was always a good friend to me, and I just wanted to make this post to celebrate the good times we’ve had together, and to let him know that he’s in my thoughts right now, and that I want nothing more than to be able to see and talk to him again.

Pull through Brian, no matter how bad it was, people love you and we want you here.

I’m not sure what to do some 1800 miles away, and it’s killing me that I have to sit here in this cubicle and wait to see what happens.

Vinyl Sunday — The Valentine’s Day Edition

Nothing says “I love you,” like a little Joy Division.

My Valentine’s Day Meal was at Snuffy’s Malt Shop in Roseville, because that’s where she wanted to go. Yeah, she’s that awesome.

from Quietbrava:

If your woman can be counted on to do the following:

• wear black thigh boots and a plaid skirt without being asked

She already does that… check.

• scream and laugh when I fart in her presence

She screams, the laughing, well let’s just say the punching has stopped.

• make pig noises when she kisses my neck

She might be coaxed into that, she does however obsessively play with and suck on my nipples, so that’s a bit of a trade off.

• pierce her nipples because ‘it just makes things feel better’

See above. Plus she insists on the both of us constantly being naked, because that ‘makes everything better.’

• generally enjoy my excruciatingly abrasive presence

She enjoys my company, and from what I can tell from your Tumblr, we enjoy many of the same things.

Then we may have the beginnings of a deal, brother.

We’ll be in Arizona again in the fall…

Last weekend and most of this week my white blood cells were fighting what, at times, seemed like an insurmountable battle against a rather nasty sore throat virus. I eased the pain of the battle by watching almost every Cary Grant movie available on Netflix’s streaming service.

The movies: Only Angels Have Wings, The Amazing Adventure, Holiday, and The Awful Truth.

What I learned: Cary Grant could sure wear a suit, and smoke a cigarette like no one else in cinema; in the 30s it was acceptable to slap a lady if she was getting uppity, but only if she was getting uppity; and (with the exception of Kathrine Hepburn and Rita Hayworth) the beauty standards for leading ladies were quite different then they are today.

In 2005, I put together a little booklet of stories called Theophrenia to commemorate my website’s tenth birthday. Eh, it was a different time.

The project was 100% inspired by Kevin Fanning who has put out a number of excellent, handmade print collections of his work. The most recent one, How I Learned to Love You From So Far Away, is still available and still unbelievably good.

Anyway, Kevin was figuring out how to format these things for the Kindle and was nice enough to whip Theophrenia into shape and hey look! Now it’s in the Kindle Store for $1.99.

It’s got thirteen short stories, most from the dot com, plus one from The Morning News and one from McSweeney’s.

Makes a great Valentine’s Day gift if you want your special valentine to look confused and say: “Thanks?”

I just bought this, you should too!

Hayworth.
