You always regret the last drink you had. The one you think knocked you over the edge of this is one heck of a hangover into the pit of am I dead? Maybe I’m dead and this is what hell will be like forever. If it weren’t for that last Read more…
I spent the last week or so being a tourist with old and new friends in both Rotterdam and Vienna. But now I’m back on the job. I have to get up early in the morning, so a couple of gallery links will have to suffice. The first set is Read more…
By “they,” I mean “lunches.” Chipz had potential… a deep fried variety pack, a deep fried burger, and fries (no mayo, please).

I will soon get to see a little miracle named Orion. And maybe a few of the birds that inspired medieval griffons. In other news, I went to a Bikram yoga class for the first time in two years. I was sick as hell. But, I stayed in the room. Read more…
Forget all that stuff I said yesterday about not being able to get my shit done. I got plenty done today. I also did some really great things for my mental health. And rewarded myself for it with a small mountain of frozen yogurt with fruit toppings. Everything’s going to Read more…
