I owe email to so many people I find myself paralyzed. I need to tell Elana I can’t make her birthday tomorrow, and remind her that her birthday four years ago fell on election day. I want to talk about the ghosts of her youth with Molly. I want to congratulate Jamy on her new […]

Sometimes, I think we all feel like this.

One more thing: this I just picked up from boingboing, and since I’m in a Bill Hicks mood lately, I’m posting it here: Bill Hicks once told a story about an American friend of his who complained about the USA. When told, “well, if you don’t like it then move somewhere else” the friend’s reply […]

Blogger seems to be back up. And Democrats are doing a lot of Chicken Little. That’s understandable. The Republicans would be doing the same thing had Kerry won. But wouldn’t it have been great if Kerry had had a little more backbone? I mean just look at what we could’ve accomplished (taken from Kerry’s planner): […]

Blogger Bryan Frank is in Washington, DC this week, burning the midnight oil. He’s battling sleep deprivation to help cover the political prize fight for Channel 9. I know you all check in on his cool behind-the-scenes musing as often as you can, but if you haven’t made it there in the past few days, […]

“There is science, logic, reason; there is thought verified by experience. And then there is California.” —Edward Abbey The nightmares actually do come to the house of dreams last night. Not the wake-up-screaming variety that Sara says she had the night before, but more the mundane breed. I dream of emotional situations I just do […]

If I have nightmares tonight, it’ll be thanks to tomorrow’s impending activities. I wish I didn’t have to sling movies all day. It’s gonna be one of those days that I’d rather spend near the radio with a friend and a six-pack of beer. More than anything, I’m afraid of a long, absurd, legally overwrought […]

Halloween (and autumn in general) marks a season steeped in music. I still think of Halloween ’93 every time I hear Mazzy Star, so it’s only fitting that my current Halloween obsession reminds me of them. The new self titled album from The Concretes came out back in June, but I finally picked it up […]

Sipping on echinacea tea. I don’t love it, but there’s a psychosomatic thing going on here. I’m a little bit sick. It makes me feel better. Another Halloween comes and goes. For once I skip the horned demon thing and have a different sort of fun with makeup. Recalling Helen Shaver in The Believers, I […]

Allmusic gives the new Nick Cave a fine review. The packaging is very nice. I might have to actually buy this one.

Blogger’s back, as most of you probably realize. Seems they had some network trouble. A ghost in the machine, perhaps. I’ve posted the PJ Harvey entry, as it was written–the same cotton-eared, sticky, post-midnight prose that sprang from my fingers to the sound of last night’s drumming rain. Tomorrow I head up to Santa Barbara […]

The first time pick up a PJ Harvey disc in the summer of �93. Rid Of Me. I buy it because of the cover, in which PJ swings a soaking wet arc of hair over her head. That, and a good review I read somewhere. And over the years, as every new album comes out, […]

Still bringing my computer back up to speed. That and the writing devour time like ravenous demons. When I come back, I’ll tell you about how I helped a woman get her car out of harm’s way. Almost. In the meantime, check out this chilled out vibe by Eastern Sun and John Kelley, from the […]

Everyone’s getting sick. Ryan’s sick. Sara’s sick. Dave’s sick. Maryann’s sick. Everyone. I don’t get sick, myself. Not in a physical way. I express it cybernetically. My computer gets sick. I’m telling you this because you need to know why I’ve been silent for three days. I run a pretty tight ship here in the […]

Click this link before the site goes away. Two screenwriters had many people fooled into believing that actor Nick Nolte keeps an online diary. Nick has since flung a cease and desist order their way. I thought it was a little weird, but it seems weirder that someone would go to such effort as a […]
