Sure, I will tell you about Girls! I almost don’t know what to say though, because I just liked it so much, from start to finish! I don’t really have a negative thing to say about it, so you should just know that going in. If you’re a Girls-hater you shall find no companionship in […]

Some new stuff over at ADVICE, go check it out! Saw some Hindemith and Schumann and Beethoven last night. Just like all the articles say, everyone there was old. They were all VERY excited to see Andre Watts, whose physicality was really surprising to me. He plays with a hunched, powerful, workmanlike attitude, but then […]

Hey there, Maybe you can help me. How can I be more empathetic? I’m in a long distance relationship, and I’m finding it really hard to be as “present” as I should be/my girlfriend needs me to be. When she’s here visiting me or I’m there visiting her, it’s not a problem. We do our […]

I made an appointment for an oil change for 2:00. Then I began driving my car home. Suddenly, a horrific noise started coming from the engine area (what I think of as “the entire front of the car”). It was like a terrible, wrenching, grinding sound. I thought immediately of when my car died in […]

I dreamed I kept making coffee in a bialetti but then when I’d pour it it’d just be water and I’d be like NOOOO! WHY?!??? Horrible We watched the new Total Recall. It was so boring. People are gonna go see it because it has “Total Recall” written on it and they know what “Total […]

Maybe this is a stupid question, but bare/bear with me here. My in-laws are going away on a vacation to one of the Virgin Islands for several weeks later this winter and have invited my partner and I to come down and stay with them for a little bit. The flights are not that much–our […]

In answer to a request for explanation as to why Anthony Lane is such a piece of shit, I humbly submit a different blog entry I wrote on this very topic some time ago, on my other blog. This is not Django-specific but it explains why I so loathe the man: Remember The Ladies As […]

I really need to un-friend someone on Facebook, but I don’t want to ruin our relationship. We are bound by friends & family. Outside of Facebook we have always gotten along. I am moderately liberal, but my friend is extremely right-wing. For instance: Glorifies Beck & Fox News. Believes Obama is trying to destroy our […]

On my first fully free day of vacation I spent like six hours dealing with some deeply intense job-related drama that I would not wish on my worst enemy (not true, I would definitely wish it on Anthony Lane, it would probably be good for him), then went to Steve’s house and complained about it […]

Back in November, I took a weekend long course with Team Oregon, which taught me the basics of (safely) riding a motorcycle. On the third day, there were written and riding tests. Somewhat to my surprise, the instructors handed me an endorsement (1/3rd of the class didn’t), which I would take to the DMV the […]
