Ok, let’s do this. First up is Alphaville’s “Big In Japan” which was my teutonic jam back in the dizzle. My wife (who “doesn’t have to read this blog. I live it”) heard this and said, “Is this The Cure?” Anathema!!! But it’s whiny, synty and teutonic. Frankly, it’s wonderfully androgynous and fey with its … Continue Reading →

Writerly Wednesdays: When Ideas Can Kill!!!
Oh, woe is me! (Cue a link to White Whine) I’ve so many ideas and yet not the time to write them. Well, this isn’t totally true as I’m currently practicing what is called Einstein time and am a firm believer (back me up here, physicists) that time doesn’t really exist. So I have the … Continue Reading →
Of Pens, Pimps & Partials…
I spent this weekend clearing out the storage corral our landlord built for us in the basement. Among other things I found that at some point I stole a small fortune in office supplies form the 1%’er company I worked for back in the 90’s. Only thing I miss about that gig was the 100% … Continue Reading →
MUSIC MONDAYS: Fall is just something the GOP invented

MUSIC MONDAYS: WHERE IS THE SEASON THAT IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE?
Man, where the crap is fall? In or out? On or off! Make up your mind, Earth! Kill us or give us free wifi, already. In other news, these are the songs making the rounds in my head. Firstly is an oldie but goodie. I love me some Fad Gadget. Wish I’d been old enough … Continue Reading →

MUSIC MONDAYS: Who turned Fall off?
I love The Young Gods. They have gone from being angry young men swinging samplers around with guitars bend and braided into submission into a pretty tight band with a heavy spritual vibes to the lyrics. I played this track during our last VSS and it was a smash hit. Never tire of it: Heck, … Continue Reading →
15 Years Ago Today…
15 years ago today on October 5th, 1996, this is who I saw coming at me up the aisle at the Historic Isaac Winslow House. I knew the woman who I was to marry this day but I had no idea that this object of radiance, beauty, poise and intelligence would be coming to join … Continue Reading →
