clean
The oldies station was playing Satisfaction while we ate our lunch today. I can’t hear that song without recalling the scene in Apocalypse Now when Clean dances across the deck of the boat while Satisfaction is playing on Armed Forces Radio. Actually, whenever I hear Fishburne’s name I picture him in that scene. It’s really… Read.

When I tuned in to my Twitter feed this morning, I naturally expected to see mostly “Happy Independence Day” or something similar, because that’s what’s happening in my life, and what else is there in the universe but me, right? Wait, does everyone understand the concept of “tuning in?” I don’t want to lose anybody… Read.

frigid
We slept like babies last night, probably because we’re not used to moving heavy appliances. For months, we’ve been talking about getting a small, second-hand refrigerator to keep at the bottom of the stairs in the basement for beer, soda pop, fresh fruit and various other sundries that fill up the big fridge in the… Read.

The song stuck in my head this morning is Oh What A Night. I have never liked this song. Never. I loathed it the first time I heard it. Loathed. “Hate” is too weak a word to describe my feelings toward this song. Only loathed comes close. It’s not that there’s nothing redeeming about the… Read.

I’ve just eaten my last solid meal until tomorrow afternoon, a single egg, scrambled, plain. I’m already feeling hungry. Cleaning up afterwards, I had to wonder for the millionth time: What the hell is it about eggs that makes them stickier than rubber cement? Just like every time before this, I had to do a… Read.

Not sure there was anything going on today worth talking about. Work was the same as always. Biked to work, so that was good. Biked home, too. That was a little buggy. And the Banzo cart was parked in the lot at the East Side Club, so we brought home a couple orders of falafels… Read.

The spam robots have found my weakness. Every day, they post gibberish comments to my blog posts (spam robots are my most loyal readers) that are strings of random words, or sometimes they look like phrases and sentences pulled from internet search results. And then, yesterday, I got six or seven comments to different posts,… Read.

I saw the movie Prometheus with My Darling B and Tim last night. We were so confused when we came out that we talked about it all the way home, trying to sort out the plot holes, but they were so many that we stood around in the living room of Our Humble O’Bode for… Read.
