This is short and funny to no one but me, but it’s apparently Hotlink Tuesday.
I found a new hotlinker this morning from some random board. To a Wright image again. I was going to leave it alone, until I noticed a snotty little message on the board to the … More
I’m late to the game on this one, but I thought I should acknowledge the passing of the incomparable Julia Child. I liked her.
I have a Julia story. Not very interesting, I realize. But then again, neither am I.
My mom has a best friend who grew up in California. Her … More
I’m watching I Love the 80′s: 1987.
Don’t laugh. Anyway, they’re discussing the REM song It’s the End of the World. I think that’s the only song to reference Lester Bangs.
Years ago, a local radio station was bought out and they had a weekend to wrap things up. A … More
It’s Storytime Friday and I can’t think of one, but I did find a story a wrote awhile ago and refined it. It’s about Nightmare Roommate.
It’s a tale of butter. Yes, butter. It is also a tale of how an ex-roommate apparently thought I was a complete moron. It’s kinda … More
It’s that time again. That magical, mystical time. Known to Minnesotans far and wide as The Great Minnesota Get Together.
In other words, State Fair time.
I like our state fair. It’s a pretty large one, by state fair standards. But it’s surreal. Where else can one:
• eat things both fried … More
What is up with Jesse Ventura’s new beard? Queer Eye for the Straight Ex-Governor, anyone?
There’s still more complaints about Light Rail. He’s a mormon.
I got nothing.
I wasn’t going to post yesterday’s rant, but someone ELSE signed my guestbook with a correction. To the same Wright page as the first person. In as many days. Inconceivable!
RANDOM THOUGHTS:
• The Death Cab for Claire truck is missing. That thing has it in for me. And if it … More
I’m grumpy. Due to a lot of reasons, mind you. But I’m grumpy. And it doesn’t help that someone went to my guestbook and pointed out mistakes in my Frank Lloyd Wright site. Not “You have a wonderful site, but…”, not “Thanks for spending your hard-earned time and money for … More
I’m gonna hunt up some Greek stuff in honor of the Athens Olympics in the recipes section and quotes section. And my home page needs a Google-like new logo. I should start doing that. I always like Google’s take on holidays and special events. Yes, I’m ripping off their idea. … More
John Waters is on The Graham Norton Effect. I love John Waters. He was cool enough to do guest appearances on Homicide and The Simpsons (which is my favorite episode). Point of fact, he played two different characters on Homicide: a bartender that one of the detectives talks to, and … More
It’s summertime in Minneapolis and every god damn biker thinks they’re Lance Armstrong. I feel some guidelines are needed.
Attention bikers:
1. You are allowed to ride in the street if you stay as close to the curb and/or parked cars as humanly possible.
2. You must obey all posted stop signs … More
So to me, politics are impossible. Republican, Democrat, who knows where the truth ends and the deceitful, hateful, lying crap kicks in. I don’t trust anybody that chooses to run for office. However, the most brilliant solution to voting for politicians ever: I have it.
It’s come to me.
It’s … More
It’s late, but here’s The Jury tally for the past two weeks. And it’s the last The Jury tally. Shame:
Andre Braugher (it’s been so nice seeing him again)
Eddie Malavarca (looking like a 70s porn star)
The curly-haired detective from Homicide whose name I’ve forgotten
Zeljko Ivanik
Bruno Kirby
Some guy from The Wire on … More
I was online today and found photos from the early 1900s of different monuments in my life. How cool is that? And whilst I know most people don’t really care where I went to high school, they include humorous stories and historical photos of Minneapolis. You might like them.
If not, … More
I have an Old 97s story that I remembered today, brought on by people coming here for the Madden ad. Ahem:
When Satellite Rides was first coming out, the boys did a prerelease show for suits at the Turf Club. Somehow, I got tickets and was going with a friend. We … More
