Best Thing Ever

I knew there was a reason I loved the Swedes beyond the cute blond thing
They just get me.
You may have seen this. I had not (surprisingly), and it is so very cool.  I’m embedding it below, but really it’s much better on the hosted site.

The Soundtrack To A Shattered Self Image

At least the music’s good.
When I was growing up, what you heard at the supermarket (besides “price check on Light Days Panty Liners please!”) was usually Muzak.  And if it wasn’t Muzak, it was some other equally nausea-inducing crap that the supermarket radio programmers thought would appeal to old people like, say, my parents.

I Am The Meatist

Watch me eat.
So here’s some cool news:  I just got picked up to do a regular column for the Broward-Palm Beach New Times food blog, Clean Plate Charlie.  New Times is the Village Voice Media-owned alt weekly down here; think the Voice with more humidity and less S&M ads.
Anyhow, I pitched them the idea of [...]

How Ahmad Jamal Reached Decades Into The Future

On the night of January 16, 1958, Ahmad Jamal sat down at his piano in the Pershing Lounge in Chicago.  There was nothing strange about that; Jamal, bassist Israel Crosby, and drummer Vernell Fournier were artists in residence at the Pershing.  But what happened on that night was special.  What happened that night would influence [...]

I Ain’t Dead (Yet)

Another lame place-holder post.
So, I just haven’t had the time or energy to write jack-shit lately, primarily due to the fact that we (and by we I mean Joanna and I) are relocating our company’s formulary (and by our company I mean Joanna’s amazing body product company of which I am but a simple employee) [...]

Hey There, Googly Eyes

Please avert your gaze.
I don’t like people with googly eyes. Marty Feldman gets a pass for the line “Abby Normal?” in Young Frankenstein.  But other than that, sorry….can’t handle it.
Yet I seem to be seeing a lot of googly eyed people lately.
There’s a mildly googly-eyed woman on the current season of Top Chef for example [...]

Double Super-Secret Probation

Not even Dean Wormer knows about it.
I hate leaving my blog un-updated.  Unfortunately, I’m smack in the middle of a project that is taking a ton of my time. And the project is secret, so I can’t blog about it.
It has nothing to do with yellow cake uranium, and it has nothing to do with [...]

Election 2008: The Good, Bad, & Ugly

The view from down here.
A lot of people have asked me how I did in my run for Jupiter Inlet District 5.  As expected, I lost – both of the other candidates are long time residents that put up a ton of signs and really worked their contacts.  I, on the other hand, posted to [...]
