limping along
I am officially too tired to type, so this would of course be the perfect time to blog because why would I want this to make sense? See if you can follow me all the way to the last full stop. My exhaustion stems from waking up sometime shortly after three o’clock this morning. There… Read.

World War Z
Strange thing about World War Z: I was all geared up for some brain-eating mayhem but, even though there were zombies galore, there was not one single brain-eater among them. And now that I think about it, I can’t remember a turbo-zombie movie where the zombies ate brains. Turbo-zombies are too busy running around biting… Read.

Space Oddity
Even though I’ve never especially liked David Bowie’s Space Oddity, this cover by ISS commander Chris Hadfield is not only just plain awesome, the production values are going to be hard for anyone else to beat ever: Hadfield is a Canadian member of the ISS and is playing a Canadian-made Larrivee Parlor guitar – how… Read.

garden vs. big band
I asked My Darling B to go with me to see The Fountain Big Band Sunday night, but the weather was so warm and sunny that, when she went out in the morning to play in her garden, she couldn’t leave it for anything. She had to keep on playing in the dirt, so I… Read.
