As you may have already heard, Ike Turner died yesterday. Really though, I'm only posting this because it gives me a chance to post this video of the Ikettes.

mmmhmm, Tina and the Ikettes. That smile, she's having a blast.

Waking up as early as I do for work, I can still see the stars. I first noticed it, looking out my bathroom window, Orion and Taurus were clearly visible. I had feelings of, "Why the fuck am I up so early," mixed with, "It's rather nice to see the stars." I've more or less disposed of the first feeling and kept the second ( Read more... )

The only regret I had was taking that hockey puck over the polaroid camera; trying to make someone else happy, bah... but that was taken care of. Now I have a much less superficial regret, once again, trying to make someone else happy... saving feelings if you will. Cruel to be kind, would have been some good advice. Instead I've dug a much ( Read more... )

Nothing like riding you bike to work at five in the morning to wake your ass the fuck up. Last night, last minute, I got invited to an Of Montreal show, to take the place of a very sick Patrick.

Vegetables (roots & low glycemic fruits) would be a separate food group from the cruciferous variety. I even considered including fermented foods ( Read more... )

Last night I returned from San Francisco. It had been a particularly windy day and my plane hit harder turbulence than I had experience in quite some time; once on the way to Mexico, my sister, a toddler at the time, almost hit her head on the roof of the restroom traumatizing my mother who was in there with her. Anywhoo, the whole point of the ( Read more... )
