Zombie,
I think comparing the Post Office to people bringing their own utensils to restaurants, or churning their own butter, or togas is so over the top it's unfair.
I get that you are making a joke, but in my opinion USPS shutting down is akin to …

Our income directly relies on the post office, too.
I can't picture myself relying on FedEx and UPS for everything.
As a passionate stamp collector and sender/receiver of elabor…
Haha.
Yes, I guess I have to agree with Zombie here. What she is describing of "Ideas" makes me realize how Canadian of a show it is. They constantly have panels about multiculturalism, which to me is also very Canadian.
Christmas cookies, tea, radi…
Weak/crappy coffee can be really heartwarming and nostalgic. A friend and I once decided to bust open a giant tub of Nescafe she had inherited from her dead grandfather. We didn't have enough money for coffee and it made our month of October cozy.

"Ideas" from CBC radio is excellent.
Occasionally it will touch on topics I care less about, but it is consistently good and sometimes so good I would marry it.

"Wiretap" is also pretty special. It is hosted by Jonathan Gold…
RCH, what you say sounds so promising. I am intrigued.
What are you talking about? Can you not drink coffee? Can you only drink coffee in November? Are you going to the wet sea?
Nervousness + coffee = the devil.
The only times I sweat a lot now are when I play shows.
Or when I eat a lot of dark chocolate (a lot for me is a quarter of one of those big bars).
I know I am too sensitive to foods. I am like a walking joke. You c…
SO MANY BIRTHDAYS!
This person often says the sweetest things to me in the most needed situations.
He tends to visit only once a year but one time he called us out of the blue and came over to spend the night and we were so EXCITED!
It was like a fa…
Really?
The concept of getting your doctor to prescribe you stronger antiperspirant before quitting coffee, even for a short period of time, seems a little crazy to me.
I mean, even using the traditional aluminum deodorant is a route I wouldn't take…
Zombie, in that case I am pretty sure I know the solution to your problem, but it's sad and you won't like it: quitting coffee.
I don't mean to be gross but years ago I sweated a lot and smelled really bad. I'd shower and wear deodorant to no avail.…
This is a good song.
Yesterday a bunch of people from the VBSTOPE found themselves at Village Pizza and I put "Black Hole Sun" and "Crazy on You" on the jukebox (not very many choices) in true Pacific Northwest fashion.
One of the songs is still rea…
You guys make that rain sound so poetic.
I woke up this morning and there was a little hint of night rain on the ground but I did not see it.
I don't have any advice about that underarm sweat... Maybe you have to wear some of that scary typical no-s…
Oh, why, thank you!
Compliments are nice. It is very sweet coming from you, you have such great style.
I don't pay people to do my hair because super even haircuts always make me sad. The last couple times I went to a salon I cried. I think I have a…
To RCH: Who? Zombie, or me?
I have been doing my own hair since I was a punk teen.
You just have to go for it and then be ok when it looks a little weird. But one time I encouraged a friend to do the same and he gave himself a bald square on the sid…
Off the top of my head right now:

She is a very cool and smart human.
A true comedian.
A patient insightful friend.
A supportive peer.
A mellow yet undoubtedly strong lady.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
There is a place called "the Mercantile" in Anacortes, WA.
They sell great inexpensive furniture, but they are only opened once every three weeks.
Yesterday and today they are open. They had these cool chairs in there called "Chanel" chairs, sort o…
I agree with you DrJ about not really finding this despicable act a greater evil than the other shit happening in the world.
It's true.
But I also don't really believe these fuck-ups who go on shooting people and their desire to be evil in the first…
This is huge. It would be a big deal anywhere, but even more in a country with such a low murder rate. It's so surreal sounding. People running away from the shooter into the woods and jumping into water to swim. So terrifying.
It's a weird world w…
