Impossible to work

I don’t think of myself as a car racing fan. I just like to drive cars. I know that gasoline is bad news for a variety of reasons, but I enjoy the whole process of starting out in 1st and working my way up to top gear. Especially if I’m on an open stretch of […]

I’m off to Oklahoma. I’ll be posting from there, but it’s a long drive, so in the meantime,
enjoy the lyrics of the official folk song of the state of Oklahoma, “Oklahoma Hills” by Woody Guthrie and his cousin Jack:
Many a month has come and gone
Since I’ve wandered from my home
In those Oklahoma hills
Where I was […]

I’ve safely returned to Oklahoma. There’s a bit of road tar stuck to my car, but all in all, I’m in good shape. There was a microburst on Tuesday morning (that’s basically the opposite of a tornado) which turned a midtown neighborhood into a disaster area. Multiple houses razed. Multiple cars crushed.The ferris wheel at […]

Since there often isn’t much to do in Tulsa, when something truly bizarre comes to your attention, you must jump on it. When I heard that there was to be an air guitar contest at the Cain’s Ballroom and that it was going to be free, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

A few weeks back, I took Sara Wookey’s workshop at Links Hall. By day three, my ass had been kicked. Why is that? Because I’m ridiculously out of shape and Sara Wookey is agile and athletic. Was this a bad thing? No. It was good to just move. There was a lot of moving, lots […]

Dear Canadian,
Thank you for googling “Ridiculous Prime.” I don’t know why you would google such a random thing, nor what you were looking for, but I’m pretty confident you didn’t find it here. I apologize for having nothing for you that was appropriately ridiculous for you. However, I am relatively sure that most posts here […]

A week or so ago Siara and Brad got married. Siara has been an important fixture in my life since my junior year of high school. While Brad has only been around for the past year or two, he has also become one of the more important people in my life.
The two of them came […]

Did you come to this page by googling I feel so crazy? Here’s a post just for you.
I went to see Sonic Youth at the Cain’s. I have attempted to attend a Sonic Youth concert on at least 4 occasions in the past 5 years and have always had the bad luck of being out […]

I went to see Sara Wookey’s Love’s Geography: Revisited and Walking LA at Links Hall back in May. It was great. I’ll just be talking about the first of the two pieces in this post, saving Walking LA for another time. Peggy Phelan’s text supplied a very moving set of words for the performance. I […]

This is Henri. He is my puppy. Andy posted this pic to the baby animal livejournal community. Want to hear what people had to say?
I got forwarded an email this afternoon informing me that a coworker of a friend has put this very picture of my dog on her computer’s desktop. She has met neither […]
