Just an FYI, I'm coming home for the holidays, and my stay will be short and swift. I'm flying in on early fri, and I'm leaving on monday night. It would be sweet if a round de vou' (that's French for a meeting or meeting place). could be arranged and we could all hang with beer. Gilz

So nice to see the blog up and running again. And if I may say so, you're all looking well.A question for the assembled luminaries that make up this fine establishment: If I, in the course of writing a song, manage to pen a melody which, in one particular bar, differs in no way from a bar of a melody in a Belle and Sebastien song, under what conditions can I get away with it? Did I mention that

SO the AFI did a tribute to George Lucas that was on earlier this week. And I was watching all the ass kissing and mutual masturbation it and it got me thinking.The problem I have with Lucas isn't that he's a bad director or that he can't write dialog to save his life. It isn't that he went back to some of my favorite movies with a revisionist pen or that he made some lame, clunky sequels to

I'll expect your retort in like a month and a half when you finally read this...and that's what I think.ps. Straws rule.pps.

Well, since someone (who remain unnamed) opined that they don't like to read long posts, I figured I throw up a quickie:I don't like drinking from straws. I don't know why, but anytime I get a drink with a straw I take it out and drink straight from the glass. About the only time I will use a straw is when I'm in the car and don't really have a choice.There, short enough for you, Gordon? I mean..

When we first saw her (when she was 12 and we were 13) she was so much hotter than she is now. She has gradually gotten worse. It really was never a up and down hill affair with her...more like just downhill. Who wouldn't do her though just

[Fantasy baseball rant to follow; my apologies]You know, I thought last week's events were pretty bad: on one day, I gained 10.5 points, shooting up from last place to fourth, only, on the very next day, to lose 9.5 points, falling right back down to last. But today was much worse.I was excited to see that I had gained 7.5 points; envisioning a repeat of (the first part of) last week, I excitedly

A family friend (Bob Nestor) has a daughter dating the guitar player for My Chemical Romance. Hooked me and my dad up with back stage passes and the likes for their show opening up for Green Day.

From ESPN.com's recap of today's Sox-jays game:Toronto left fielder Frank Catalanatto also let a ball drop about 10 feet in front of him when he lost it in the sun for a double."It was the worst thing we've ever played under," Catalanatto said.

So I finally lived a childhood fantasy of mine this past weekend. Story goes like this:As all of you loyal bloggers saw, Hula had extra tickets to the Mets vs. Marlins game on Saturday. Who could ask for anything more..Pedro vs. Leiter. So we trek out to Shea (Me, Hula, and Kevin Orsini).We got there nice and early and since Hula had hooked up tickets we got to go to the Diamond Club. Ate way

The most important thing I learned during my long weekend in Stockholm, my first time there:Even though the guide book claims that Sweden has the world's highest standards of food purity, do not, under any circumstances, eat cheap sushi. You will end up spending more than half of your short trip to Stockholm stuck inside your cousin's dorm room bathroom.

1. Borf was there...2. The Cherry Blossoms are beautiful this time of year3. The women in DC are beautiful this time of year.4. Everything in Dupont Circle is flaming...including the garbage trucks.5. The mom from spy kids is ridiculous hot!6. Thin pillows are great for waking up to "the stranger"7. John Smoltz can strike out 15 Mets and I still can't get a win from a starting pitcher8.

I can't say that I have a whole lot to blog about - I just was starting to dread seeing that picture every time I checked the blog. It's rather traumatizing.This Saturday, I'll be attending my first (of many) Nationals game here in DC. If I get my shit together enough, I'll write up an account of the RFK Stadium experience - crowd, food, view, and maybe some baseball too. In the meantime, I

Saul Bellow, before yesterday known as our greatest living novelist, is dead. In commemoration, I'd like to quote from an extraordinary letter he wrote to his friend Dave Peltz, who complained when Bellow used one of his anecdotes in Humboldt's Gift.“It wasn't you who was the subject. People have written about me. Their me is not me. It couldn't matter less. What matters is that good things be

I've had this chorus kicking around for literally five years, and one morning last month, came up with the verse melody and most of the words in the shower. Wonderful, these gifts of the brain.Yes, the Pet Sounds reference

There's a guy who lives in Indiana. One morning he wakes to hear a voice in his head. The voice says, "Quit your job, sell your house, take all your money, and go to Las Vegas."He ignores this voice and goes to work.Later in the day, he hears this voice again.

While trying to think of all the epithets I've thrown at "Whitey" over the years...Among my many time-wasting devices at work is a website called teevee.org. The writers occassionally post some pretty funny TV-show related observations. Today, though, in honor of April Fool's, they've put up a parody site, with "blogs" from celebrities such as Matthew Perry, Dan Rather, George Wendt (called "The

A question from a classmate of mine:"I am thinking about the ways in which white people are racialised in American literature and am considering traditionally pejorative terms for them. But not being American, I'm not 100% about the full connotations of some of these terms. I was thinking about "bubba", "white bread", "honky", "ofay", "clay eater" and "mean whites".

So I had something happen to me this past Sunday - for whatever reason, it's been rolling around in my mind and won't get out, so I'm going to post it here. It's pretty long, and rambles a lot too. It's also a good bit more soul-baring than our usual fare - but then that sort of thing is what blogs are for, right? Besides, I never post (as some of you have noted, Willy).

You want to know what I find annoying? Sure you do. "Inextricably linked" or "linked inextricably". It's one of the most annoying cliches I come across, and it bugs me just as much as other cliches. Like "Don't go there", "Don't get me started", or "too much information".It's almost a reflex: when some people write "linked" they feel they must add "inextricably." Obviously, linked and

"American policy is still powered by the fantasy of Manifest Destiny, though the limits were once set by the borders of the continent, whereas today America's destiny embraces the entire world. There are still more hordes of redskins to be mowed down before virtue triumphs; as the classic Western movies explain, the only good Red is a dead Red. This may sound like an exaggeration to those who

Cleaning out my drawers, I came across my old yearbook from 2 years ago. Right near the end, I found the following, an exact transcription of an intriguingly cryptic hand-written poster that I found on the wall in my floor's kitchen. Interpretations welcome. What's the story here? I can understand your feelings but I am also angry with your rudeness. Please check clearly before giving any

El Guapo's been kidnapped?!?!! UPDATE: Translated from Ultima Noticias, a Venezuelan newspaper: "The Magallanes Navigator's closer Richard Garcés has been missing since last Monday the 17th, when he played as a reinforcement for the Pastora team against the Caracas Leones (Lions). Juan Miguel Barrios, the player's cousin, said that Garcés talked to his wife last before the aforementioned game,

Velocity Girl - What You Left Behind The year was 1994. A fourteen-year-old in suburban New Jersey wants the sense of superiority that comes with being an indie kid but is without indie friends, high-speed internet, or the determination to walk to New York City (alas, no driver's license). The little he knew (Sub Pop is the coolest label; they put out Bleach!) combined with his limited access to

Ok, ok. My turn, I understand. Then I'll go back into hibernation. Actually, I was trying for a week to think of what song to use; my problem is that I have very few songs in my library that qualify as new to anyone. So in the end, I went with "Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer" off Stevie Wonder's Where I'm Coming From album, a year-plus before Talking Book and "Superstition." The

I was pretty sure that it wasn't my turn to post a song yet (if we're really counting, it's probably Nish's turn)...but now I'm not so sure. If there's nothing new by tomorrow, I'm all over that shit. 'Til then, it's the art project you didn't know you were waiting for: The Grey Video. Also this.
