The Entroporium

The dog got me up before 7 this morning. The rain yesterday prevented her from getting much of a run. Now today it’s even worse out and she’s going bonky. This is one of my first true tests as a dog owner. Any suggestions on what to do? I’m enjoying my first true day off [...]

Hey y’all! Merry Christmas! Let’s be careful out there! [Soundtrack] The Youngsters – Christmas In Jail.mp3

This is one of the best pictures I’ve found in a long time. Sorry, no MP3 today. Having my iPod break for the third time in six months is putting a serious crimp in my style.

Last night I participated in Phil Kline’s “Unsilent Night,” an ambient caroling piece. About 500 folks — about a quarter of which with boomboxes — walked through the Mission “caroling.” Everybody with a boombox is given a tape.

The album jumps around many different genres, but there’s no doubt that this is [...]

I took Ruby out for a walk at 7:30 this morning when a white pit bull without a collar came trotting towards us. It acted friendly and wagged its tail, but my dog is skittish and I didn’t want to find out the hard way that it might be aggressive. We ran into our house [...]

(This entry follows my pattern of following up really angry posts with the lightest-heartest things I can find on the spur of the moment.) Readers who know me personally know about my affiliation with the CD Club, a little monster that Susie and I created two years ago. Each month a bunch of odd CDs [...]
