  • A Dollar for Your Thoughts: The Big Easy

    For every story I get in the comments section (stories about trips to New Orleans, Mississippi, whatever. Hell, it could be about jazz, being big and easy or binge drinking for all I care) I’ll donate one dollar to the Red Cross. It’s up to you, kittens. This is so unbelievably easy. Plus, I really,…

  • It’s Not a Problem! It’s an Opportunity!

    I just saw the oddest tattoo. You know those scars that many people who are older than 35 have on their arms? I forget what vaccination it was. Anyway, they are circular and rather large. A guy had a tattoo that used it as the sun in part of an outdoor scene.

  • Learn Me Something

    I am politically retarded. That being said, will someone tell me why the people don’t vote for Supreme Court nominees?

  • The Upside to Being Told No, You Can’t Have a Pet

    I didn’t have animals growing up. I used to temporarily steal the neighbors’ animals, but I never had one of my own. I was the neighborhood cat watcher and a damn good one as I not only fed the furry beasts but I petted them as I was deprived of such a pleasure all of…

  • What’s Your Bodily Woe?

    Some folks, they get constipated. Others get the runs. And then there are others who get stomachaches or suffer from nausea every time they eat. Me? It ain’t even 8 AM and I have already taken a Pepcid. Heartburn will be the death of me. Whether death is directly related or delivered by my very…

  • Bye Bye Brownie

    Brown resigns. Who will hire that guy now?

    (All images taken using a Pentax K1000 with NPC 160 Speed film. Each image can be clicked to enlarge. Captions, if any, below each image.) We went to the Union Square Farmer’s Market on Saturday and took some picutures. Here is Toby Joe with a fake smile. Preserves tasting. The goods. A man sits outside…

  • Anti-Bush T-Shirt Performance Art

    On Sunday, Toby Joe and I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge in order to check out the 9/11 WTC memorial in downtown Manhattan. I knew it was going to be an emotional day and figured I should try and make the best of it by throwing myself directly into it. It took us about an…

  • Kevin Sites

    Yahoo is sending a veteran journalist named Kevin Sites all over the world to cover every armed conflict there is and basically blog about it. It’s called the Hot Zone and it begins on September 26th. (More here.) I am not sure how I feel about this yet. I do like the independent media feel…

  • When Clothing Jumps

    Last night, we lost a valuable member of our household, a super high thread count fitted sheet. You see, I hung it and a its partner, the top sheet, out back to dry and when I went to take them both in the fitted sheet was nowhere to be found. There should be a word…
