Sweet Ceremony

2007-11-10T20:07:49Z

The Internet wins again. If not for Radiohead's webcast, hotdogladies would never have twittered about the Ceremony, and I might never had heard it myself. I wish more people used twitter. I'm seriously the least-interesting one. I can't stand ...

Namesake

2007-09-26T15:22:14Z

The Salutation of the Dawn

2007-08-20T19:40:30Z

I read this in a book recently and it really resonated with me. In my brief searching of the intarwebs, I was unable to conclude who the author was, or indeed the proper title. Since I can't give you those two things, I'm including a photo that is...

Lying in bed last night, I had a premonition that today was going to suck. At the time, I thought it was the caffeine keeping me awake that was predicting this. The sad part is, I was right. The only good thing about today was that Victor Allen's ...
