I’m watching my favorite local weather man (Whatssup Burton Fitzsimmons? You’ve lost some weight, so you better get that suit tailored. You’re looking like David Byrne circa Stop Making Sense) And he had the following information: 1) Next week is going to be drier than normal. 2) There’s a cold front coming in this weekend. […]

It’s amazing. All of a sudden three months have gone by without a blog entry. I don’t mean it to be so long, it just happens. Some of it is, I’m sure, the rise of Facebook, and to a lesser extent Twitter. I don’t use Twitter a ton, but it does seem like blogs are […]

Sometimes, things happen that are so amazingly random, it’s hard to believe it actually happened. So here’s my current example. On campus at work today, the film teacher walked by me, and was saying to his students “wow, it’s hot. It’s like Texas hot.” As often happens to me, this made a scene from a […]
I’ve had some unusual things happen to me while cycling, but this is going to rate as the weirdest. I was riding my mountain bike around some trails on the campus of the school I work at, when I came around a corner and saw this: As I stared at it, and it stared back at […]
Ok, so it’s not a Concert Review, but I did go to see Anthony Bourdain last night, and it was a fascinating experience. It’s hard to describe how someone could be so snarky and yet so inspirational all at once. As the leading proponent of “Food Porn” (not at all a dirty term. Trust me. […]

With the Beatles was the second Beatles album, released six months after Please Please Me. This was a proper multi-track recording as opposed to the one shot recording of Please Please Me. Interestingly, this album features the same ratio of original songs to covers, with 8 originals and 6 covers. With the exception of Beatles […]

Tonight as I was driving home from getting my car fixed (new radiator, thank you to my old one for just oozing and not actually blowing up) I started listening to a album I produced back in 2003. I hadn’t listened to it in a few years, and I really enjoyed it. And it’s country! […]

Last night, I played at a pizza place called the Rockin’ Tomato. Their televisions were showing snowboarding, so I was watching the flying tomato. Any other tomato metaphors to be had?
