So, for the past, I dunno, 6-7 years, I’ve pretty religiously gone to Molly’s for 10am Sunday coffee. Sometimes it devolves into lunacy1, most of the time it involves getting some work in and playing cribbage and/or backgammon. And if you ask the bartender nicely, they’ll let you use the cards and cribbage board they… Continue reading Sunday Morning Coffee at Molly’s

All over the goddamned place
So, I decided to make a quasi-random disc for the truck. I pulled it together by moving the scrollbar randomly up and down, and picking a song on the screen. Interesting mix: Q Lazzarus – Goodbye Horses Slayer – South Of Heaven David Bowie – New Killer Star Cannibal Corpse – Stripped, Raped And Strangled… Continue reading All over the goddamned place
O R’lyeh? Ya, R’lyeh.
I always knew there was something different about Michael Phelps. And now, when I think of Lovecraftian horror, Dagon tends to come to mind even before great Cthulhu. It’s mostly due to Nile and their song, 4th Arra of Dagon. Below is the last, chanting part of the song – the whole song clocks… Continue reading O R’lyeh? Ya, R’lyeh.
Wait a minute, /b/ was actually helpful?
For those of you who know what /b/ or 4chan is, you know that it tends to be the absolute dregs of the internet. We’re talking the depths of the Marianas Trench bad. I’d link, but if you really want to check it out on your own, you have to find it – and it… Continue reading Wait a minute, /b/ was actually helpful?
Hey there, Fancy Pants
A bit ago, I received word that Todd‘s awesome and affordable Hong Kong Tailor™ would be making his way on his U.S. Tour, and would be adding New Orleans to his list of destinations. I figured why not, and dropped him a visit when he came though – a scant 28 days ago! After all,… Continue reading Hey there, Fancy Pants
What a difference 150 years makes.
I ran across this quote this morning, and thought I’d share. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters… Continue reading What a difference 150 years makes.
M(i|u)x Tape
I ran across this, and found it interesting: Mux Tapes. Create an account, upload up to 12 or so songs, and share it with people. I took a sampling of what has lately been in heavy rotation, and ordered it alphabetically. Here’s mine, so go forth and enjoy. And if you create one, let me… Continue reading M(i|u)x Tape
Born Under a Bad Sign
I just read that not only does the Chinese Calendar have an animal assigned to it (I knew that), but that it also has an Elemental and a Yin|Passive|Feminine / Yang|Aggressive|Masculine assignment. According to Holy Mountain, I was born in the year of the Aggressive Metal Monkey. As a quick rule of thumb, the principles… Continue reading Born Under a Bad Sign
Happy Katanakka!
For those of you who are wondering what in the Wide Wide World of Sports™ I am talking about (ie all you non-ninjas), Katanakka is a Ninja holiday celebrated on the same day as Thanksgiving so “that we still get the day off”. If you wish to read more on the origins of Katanakka (and… Continue reading Happy Katanakka!
Change comes from within your pockets
Everyone has their change bowl(s), right? I decided to empty mine out unto the bike shop. 20 lbs of change translated into $188.28, and a number of fewer banks trips for the shop. .25 x 438 = $109.50 .10 x 466 = $46.60 .05 x 372 = $18.60 .01 x 1330 = $13.33 2606 coins… Continue reading Change comes from within your pockets
