Shifting Sands of Taste
I stopped buying CDs as my main form of music consumption when Napster broke all the way back in 1999. It helped that I worked at a college radio station at the time, so I almost never needed to buy CDs, anyway. There was a large spindle of burnable CDs at our disposal, so any time a new disc came in that one of us wanted, we would just rip it and burn a copy for ourselves. We were poor college...

Pretty good movie. Ben Kingsley was amazing and the kid who played Luke was pretty good. The story got a little muddled at times, but still sucked you...

There were a lot of people that showed up, much more than I expected. Most of them were older, too. But, as we were walking up to the lodge, we noticed this bicycle in a tree. I...

[caption id=”” align=”aligncenter” width=”263” caption=”Tuesday, February 23rd”][/caption] Surely, I will come to regret this. I overslept this morning and had to stop at the 7/11 up the street from work for some sustenance. I’m crossing my fingers as I eat. I think that will help.

The New Normal
All of a sudden, I feel older. Just like that. Not in a bad way, necessarily. In fact, it’s very natural and comfortable. It almost feels like I’ve been fighting this for the last couple of years for no good reason. The world around me has moved ever onward and I’ve been trying to dig my heels in and make it stop. Fighting to stay 27 forever. Silly me. All of this came in...

A Country At War
Last Friday, while bowling with friends, a seed was planted in my head. One of the televisions hanging over our lane was turned to the opening ceremonies for the Vancouver Olympics. The oddness of the ceremonies themselves aside(violin-playing batman in a canoe?), I started thinking about the ancient Olympics and how all of the city-states involved would cease all military operations during...

42/Justin Townes Earle @ The Doug Fir
From 365 Justin Townes Earle jangled up to the microphone, flanked by a saucy gal sporting an upright bass and a dapper, bearded fiddler. I was immediately struck with how much Earle resembled Hank Williams, right down to the mannerisms and physicality. It was like I was back in a honky-tonk in the 1950s instead of uber-hip Doug Fir. Put a ten-gallon hat on his head and have him lose...

I am coming to you LIVE from behind my brand-new (okay, it’s refurbished, but let me pretend) Macbook Pro. After four years of faithful service, my trusty Macbook was finally put out to pasture. It was time. He’s been a faithful companion through a myriad of adventures, but the constant fan whirr and increasing amount of dead and dying pixels in his screen necessitated a change. So...

Drove by this theater during my lunch. Gigantic, empty parking lots are always strange to me. Probably because I grew up in the country and my mind tells me that this is 20 acres of wasted space.
