Water Water Everywhere…. “Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.”
- The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
An extended version of Bon Iver’s La Blogotheque Take Away Show of “For Emma, Forever Ago” with three versions of the song and some very startled tourists. I think this is one of my favorite things in the whole world. Not just that the song is so beautiful, and is so beautifully sung, but that [...]
So, This Stephen Malkmus-looking Guy Who Went to High School with My Boss Wrote a Children’s BookA man once said, “Childrens do learn.” and I believe childrens should learn to dream big dreams.

The Flight Out (It will probably take you as long to read this as it took me to travel it.)[ Topic Ridiculosity, Society ]
The Friday before last, I flew out to California for my grandmother’s 90th birthday. It went a little something like this: Had to leave my apartment at 4 AM to make an 8:10 AM flight in Long Island, so didn’t go to sleep at all. Waited for subway for 15 minutes before panicking and going [...]
Primate Eyes[ Topic Ridiculosity, Society ]
At first glance, it looks like the name of this “gentlemen’s club” is “Primate Eyes”, which I feel is a far more fitting name for such an establishment. On a more general note, I like how the word “gentlemen” has become a euphemism for “horn dog”.
