Around the (music)web
Filed in blog, Fri, 28 Apr 2006, 4:50 pmWhen you can’t come up with a creative title, just reuse a recent one with a slight twist to pretend you are being clever. Anywho, I just wanted to throw out some interesting musical news of late:
- A bunch of Canadian musicians have decided to abandon their version of the RIAA and form a new [...]
Livejournal sidebar
Filed in blog, , 2:58 pmI know most of my friends get this site through indieb0i_rss, and that’s totally cool. But I would like to remind them that I don’t get any notification of comments you leave on my posts through that - in case you were wondering why I don’t respond. There’s no easy way for me to check [...]
Around the web(comics)
Filed in blog, Thu, 27 Apr 2006, 2:10 pmHow am I just finding Questionable Content now? Granted, by the time it started in 2003 my indie scene/bar life was already on the decline, but it’s still freakin’ brilliant. I’m still working my way through all of the archives - this particular gem should amuse Sara Jane - but it’s already in my feed [...]
Dream sequence
Filed in blog, , 9:58 amLast night… wait, no, I was going to write this yesterday, so we’re actually talking about two nights ago. But that always sounds silly - what about Tuesday night? Wait, was that the night? I forget. How about a couple nights ago? No, that sounds stupid, too. I got it! The other night! That’s the [...]
Grass roots vs. Grass roots
Filed in blog, Mon, 24 Apr 2006, 2:05 pmCan you tell which of these two movements is an actual grass roots organization of concerned citizens, and which one is a big business group pretending to be grass roots?
I really get tired of all those cable and phone company ads disguised as campaigns by regular people who are really concerned that a little healthy [...]

Filed in blog, Thu, 20 Apr 2006, 2:45 pmMichael Hanscom did it, and even Jason Kottke linked to him - so I might as well be a follower. Besides, I’m sure most of my friends will love going through this list: the 50 best film adaptations of all time
Movies I’ve seen are marked with and M, and books I’ve read are marked with [...]
No smoke for you
Filed in blog, Wed, 19 Apr 2006, 12:31 pmI said I would write about the Jersey smoking ban, so here it is. Yeah, I know I say I’ll write about a lot of things, but I actually meant it this time.
HOORAY!
Really, that’s all that’s necessary. There’s nothing more to be said. It’s a GOOD thing. And there’s absolutely nothing you can say that [...]
I love the nightlife
Filed in blog, Mon, 17 Apr 2006, 10:34 amThe one thing I’ve mentioned over and over again that I truly miss about Hoboken is the ability to just walk out the door, walk into a bar, and have people I know to hang out with. Growing up in the ‘burbs, I actually got accustomed to biking (and later driving) over to friends’ houses [...]
Tax season
Filed in blog, Thu, 13 Apr 2006, 3:18 pmDuring lunch I ran over to CompUSA. Figured I should pick up some tax software - I’m going to try out TaxCut, because it’s cheaper than TurboTax. I’ll have to sit down tonight and bang out the returns for both Lisa and I, because we really want to get them done early this year. Yup, [...]
Vanity
Filed in blog, Wed, 12 Apr 2006, 10:59 amWouldn’t it be terribly clever if you all thought this was a post about self-love, but in reality I was talking about re-modeling our bathroom? Yeah, well, it’s not. Over the weekend I was contemplating cutting my hair in preparation for the coming warm months. Since the sky decided to drop snow and sleet on [...]
