"Songs the Brothers Warner Taught Me" is OUT
It's been a slow process with many delays. It may continue to roll out to new venues but here's the news about where it's available for now.
First and most important is Bandcamp. Until they decide to be more aggressive about their business model, Bandcamp.com gives 100% of the price of downloads to the artist. Obviously, this is the place I most ( Read more... ) -
Old College Papers
I get rid of loads of stuff every time I move. And always manage to accumulate more. As my memory gets shittier, it becomes even more important to me to hang onto things (I was always sentimental, though). I am absolutely BEAT after 6 days straight of little sleep and way more work than my RSI accommodates. I have so much to do I wanted to use my ( Read more... ) -
"No 'Poo"
In art school I read a biography of the director Preston Sturges. One of the colorful stories about him was that he didn't wash his hair. He rinsed his hair but didn't wash. I figured that was not really a huge problem in the age of brilliantine. However, my hair gets oily quickly so I figured I'd never do such a thing. But I read the Chron's ( Read more... ) -

UC and Sports
Every time I read of some tail wagging the dog university decision about sports, I've thought about this scene in "Horse Feathers". Unfortunately, I could never remember the scene word for word so I rented it from Netflix and have now transcribed it for posterity. Just think - even as far back as 1932 colleges had the whole point of sports ( Read more... ) -
Hours Away
I just loaded up my backpack and walked around with it for a while. I have to seriously consider NOT taking the laptop. The added weight of the laptop and the Wacom is significant. I could deal with it if (a) I weren't disabled (b) I had a secure place to store the majority of my stuff at all times. There are going to be days where I can't yet ( Read more... ) -
Shallow End
I read an actress' bio on IMDB tonight. She was signed as a model at age 14. Bought her first house at 20. I know there are tons of talented actors out there who don't get work on TV or in film because they're not pretty enough. Yet models make the transition to acting all the time now ( Read more... ) -
What I Miss About My Hometown
Almost all of my time in the Bay Area has been spent living on the edge of ghettoes. Because that's all I could afford. I'm not an easy-going person. I'm a worrywart. So I've spent most of my adult life wrapped in tension. A stressball. When there's no cause to worry, I worry. When there's cause, I worry like crazy. Since moving to the Bay ( Read more... ) -
Screw Me, Screw Me, Totally Undo Me
I've really been struggling with planning this trip because of the many "Terms and Conditions" that Wells Fargo applies to redeeming credit card points for air travel. For weeks now I've done research, visited the reward site, tried to figure out the limitations and how to book from the site, etc. Only recently did I just give up and look for a ( Read more... )
