It’s time someone take to the streets and make sure that Halloween is a safe and holy good time for everyone. My people are calling, I must now go forth and bless them all with my presence.
Happy Halloween!

There’s this one story I’ve been meaning to write down for, oh, the last two years or so. (It happened more like four or five years ago, but I decided that I wanted to write it down only two years ago.) For the sake of background, I’ll briefly explain: It’s the story of how my [...]

I listened to Elton John’s Crocodile Rock no less than five times in a row tonight once I got home. Indeed, it’s been one of those weeks. You know the ones. The ones where songs like Crocodile Rock suddenly transcend from simply ‘classic’ song to ‘I feel so introspective all of a sudden and this [...]

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would have to become so butch in order to live in this new place. I suppose that’s just part of the package deal that comes with moving into a place that was built over 50 years ago. Basically, if this was 2003 instead of 2008, [...]

Last week, I noticed that the tile in my kitchen was wet. This is nothing unusual, as I’m frequently prone to spilling water from time to time, especially as I’m doing dishes or some kind of cooking. (This doesn’t have anything to do with this post, but I want to point out here just how [...]

I changed my mind. Whatever I thought was the single most annoying thing in the world is not, in fact, so terrible. I opted to wear a pair of nice shorts today, one that I hadn’t worn since May. And in the three months since I’d worn the fuckers, I’d completely forgotten why I wasn’t [...]

Today, Thursday, marks six weeks that I’ve been in Albuquerque this second time around. It’s been a pretty awesome time, sort of to the point that I’ve started to take roots here. Doubtless, Robert considers this an understatement. This could be because I’ve taken over the dining table and converted it into my laptop desk, [...]

If you ever come across one of these delicious buildings, I highly recommend you bite, and go inside. Upon seeing the Toll House store whilst wandering Albuquerque Uptown with my friend Dr. Vina, it was all I could do to not lick the bricks of the building right then and there.
The overpowering smell of cookies [...]

My friend bFlat tagged me with a rather daunting challenge: to share seven weird and/or random facts about myself. Here goes nothing.
1. In the summer of 2004, I worked for the first time ever as a camp counselor in the grand state of Minnesota. While there, I came across a pair of suspenders in the [...]

Today was my youngest brother’s birthday. As a consequence, I joined the family, as well as some of their cronies, for dinner. Every family visit is unique these days, and I never know what to expect when I’m in their presence.
Tonight was interesting, to say the least. Just for kicks, I decided to throw the [...]
