I’m ludicrously busy this week. Thanks to vacationing coworkers, today is the fifth Ameoba day in a row. I’m exhausted. I mean, seriously. Who works five days in a row? That’s just stupid. Yeah, except I’m doing a bunch of stuff for Boss regarding this Herbalife website he wants to put together, which is funny […]

How’s this for a scene? A man waits in his car. It’s after midnight. The street is dark. Apartments are quiet. The occasional car pulls up, parks. People go into their apartments. A typical Saturday night. But this man waits for one person in particular. And his patience pays off. A new car pulls to […]

I was gonna do a little late-night blogging about the CD release show for Jennifer Getz’s new disc, Makin’ History at Masquer’s Cabaret. I also wanted to write about my beautiful late-night walk home, which took me from Third and Sweetzer to Fountain and Martel. But now that I’m done sifting through the pictures, messing […]

A woman wanders through the store for some time. She’s beautiful, quiet and alone. As the end of the day approaches, and it’s time for us to make the announcement that Rocket Video is closing soon, she finally makes her way to the counter. It’s crowded. there are a number of people grabbing videos at […]

As I write this the first few notes of Echobelly’s album Gravity Pulls drift from my speakers and settle into my skin. This is the first time I’ve heard it, and the familiar golden thread of Sonya Aurora Madan’s voice drags an unexpected smile out of me. The fact that these cats aren’t bigger in […]

Business at hand? There’s way too much of it. I was hoping to blog a bit today about what it means to be from another galaxy, but I’ve been socked in by a fog of work the past couple days. I don’t normally work on Thursday nights, but this week I’ve agreed to take a […]

Monday is my one day off this week. Or at least it’s my one day off in a long while. I spend it wisely, writing in the morning, walking down past the Monday Farmer’s Market at Plummer Park to Melrose where I pick up my newly-repaired bicycle, nap for two hours to the faint sound […]
It’s Sunday morning. I’ve got to drag my butt over to Amoeba for another nine hours, which is tricky, since I spent eight hours there yesterday followed by seven hours DJ-ing Sirry’s birthday party. That’s about five and a half hours of sleep. But hey, since I don’t drink when I spin, I don’t have […]

Sasha’s amazing new album Involver spins in the black machine right now (take note, Aaron!) A cup of extraordinarily strong green tea brews at my right hand. It’s noon. Three and a half hours earlier… The phone rings at 8:30. Whenever the phone rings at that time in the morning I like to be up. […]
It seems I’m back and running strong. The transfer from Hostsave to iPowerWeb turns out to be weirder and takes longer than I expect. Entries from way back in February surface under an old template. I get a call from a friend wondering why I’m depressed. Then for a while FTP routs to the old […]

Just so everyone knows, things are going to get wonky around here for the next couple days. I’m in the process (finally) of transferring this site to a new hosting company. Posts may disappear for a while, then reappear without warning, possibly sporting new tattoos and missing a few teeth. The URL will, of course, […]
The mailman knocks on my door and makes me a happy camper. Season Four is second only to Season Five.

Hello? …Oh hey, what’s up, Britney? …Hawaii? End of September? Just the two of…? Hey, wait. What about Kevin? Oh. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, but listen, I can’t, babe. I’ll be busy then…
It’s Sunday. Pour yourself a nice, hot cup of coffee and read the comics. Hugh Macleod draws elegant cartoons on the backs of business cards, and his post on How To Be Creative is like a shot in the arm for all of us writer types.
