Plastic Logs and Stones
I dreamt that I handed Bill Wyman a demo CD last night. The Stones were busy practicing for their next performance. One song had just ended and faded into “2000 Light Years from Home” while Mick sprouted from behind a wall of amplifiers. He had changed his costume, sporting a red body suit caked with silver ornaments and wings dangled from the wrists and reunited with the ankles. I had come to...
I should update you; My heart has a splinter
After working as a carpenter’s apprentice for several days I had suffered the foreman’s incessant verbal attacks enough. I let him know. “If you must have a man with miles of expertise why not take your grip off of another three dollars an hour and hire someone knowledgeable. I’ve had enough, thank you.” He seemed extremely upset. Not mad. Upset. Of course I had...
Jesus was a carpenter, so I will be
Today I landed a job. I’m going to be a carpenter’s apprentice. I know it sounds really glamorous to you. The fact is, I’m really pretty jazzed about it. My pop was a white collar man, and my grandfathers were all handicapped in one way or another. That being said, I didn’t get to learn much about building a dog house or catching a football. Being from Mississippi, I often...
Meet Inri/Long Live Ringo
Inri is the new pooch. He’s had a troubled life. When he was a pup he was hit by a car, which totally shattered and misfigured his hips. Since then, he’s been bounced around a couple of houses and the shelter a few times. After having him for a week, Kathie and I took him to the vet to see about his hips. The animal shelter I retrieved him from assured me that everything was fine....

Wow.
thelowspark: Just heard quite possibly the best/worst pickup line ever: “Hey, wanna go halves on a bastard?” Priceless.
1939 radio made into iPod dock cabinet
thelunasea: Justin and I found a Sears and Roebuck Silvertone shortwave radio from 1939 at an antique mall in Madison. Justin wanted it to turn it into an ipod dock. We took the guts out and sawed off a wooden piece in the bottom to put the speakers in. The box helps channel the sound through the speakers slits and boy does it sound great!! FYI Serge Gainsbourg was coming through the speakers...

My Parents, so Lovely
During my tenure as “child” in my parents home, I was never showered with absurd amounts of gifts and money … even when they had it. Don’t get me wrong, I always had the things I really wanted, especially those things that I would use and appreciate forever — guitars, PA gear, being able to make albums with my brother, a car that runs, and of course whatever gaming system...
“I want to see him eat an apple turnover.”

4 Were Freed from Demons
Bishop Rodgers. I’ve never heard of him before. I found him bored, googling my afternoon away. I found him with his heart open. I found him with his brain closed. I found him. I really found him!
“I’m a pellet, bean, and a trigger.”

I Found My Old Sofa
Today I was browsing through the house tours on apartmenttherapy.com and happened to see my old sofa in someone else’s house (yes, the actual sofa, not one like it). It was a rare sofa by Charles and Ray Eames, which may suprise some who know me well. Not that I had one, but that I let it go. There is a certain amount of foolishness modern furniture appreciators achieve when they are...

The Argentine Lake Duck
Several years ago I was playing around on the internet with my art teacher, only to find out about the Argentine Lake Duck. This duck has a 17 inch penis with a tuft of feather growing out of the end. Good Lord. Is this nature’s french tickler? Probably not. I decided to google it today to see what’s up and this is what I found on scienceblogs.com ” The male may use the...
