  • It’s my sister’s birthday today,

    It’s my sister’s birthday today, so I’m in Houston. I’m sitting in the room that used to be my bedroom when I was in high school. It is now the computer room. Where I’m sitting used to be my television and dresser, and a floral-print couch now rests where my bed used to be. The…

  • Mullendash!

    I have had a few accomplishments and creations this year that I am proud of. Similarly, Dave, Tara and stee have quite a few things to buff their knuckles about. But I do believe our greatest achievement of the year may be Mullendash! Enjoy the game that everyone can play. Here’s my writing tip to…

  • my favorite author

    You can read the first chapter of one of my favorite books. Here’s how.

  • Mail

    I’m ignoring the strange amount of alt country that’s suddenly on the blog by going through my mail bag with you. This is a sampling from the past three weeks. Pamie, I know you have been busy, but I can’t believe you haven’t mentioned that Johnny Depp was named People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for…

  • new entry

    Reading my mail. I’m not going to comment on the alt country love here today. But Dan, I know you’ve made a small section of the readership very happy here today.

  • dan clarifies his musical past to rationalize his musical present

    See, let me explain. When I was in high school, my friend John quite accurately described my musical sensibilities as belonging to the genre of “poppy fun.” And, oh, they were, the more poppy the better, the more ironically melancholy the fun the better. Squeeze. Crowded House. XTC. The Sundays. 10,000 Maniacs. REM when I…

  • dan loves Lucinda Williams so much right now he’d risk all his pride to see her again

    Please please please understand, I don’t even think I like country music. And I don’t. I don’t think. I don’t like it. Not in the conventional, twangy, my-dog-done-died-from-drinkin’-my-moonshine kind of way. And on a more modern level, I sure don’t dig me no Toby Keith, but that’s more for political reasons, even though it didn’t…

  • What Price, Sopranos?

    Thank you for calling Adolphia Cable. Due to our current financial situation, all of our three operators are currently assisting other frustrated customers. We know you have next to no other alternative, due to our convenient monopoly, and we’d like to thank you for being too cheap to move to Venice Beach, or splurge for…

  • Melissa Gilbert Sucks

    I had worked all day in a shop, standing on my feet, ironing for hours. It was cold. Jessica was the first to suggest I should just go home instead of going through with my plans for the evening. “It’s late, it’s cold, and you’re tired,” she said. “Go home and take a bath.” “No,…

  • Couch Baron Lives Far Away

    So I must visit him through his journal. He tells the same Vegas Recap I would have… except he won a bunch of money and I lost everything I came with. Because I always do.
