Sin City
Los Angeles may be "the loneliest and most brutal of American cities," according to the great Jack Kerouac, but Las Vegas, that has to be the saddest, most awesome of American cities. Where else can you mix the most common of American vices--alcohol, sex, money and gluttony--with the plight of an almost-neglected town ( Read more... ) -
Schoolhouse Rock
I started a new part-time job today (it's hard times for us recent college grads that didn't get fucked in the ass to get a job today and can still have a shred of dignity ( Read more... ) -
