I like the train here in Chicago a lot. Even if it's more convenient to drive somewhere, I'll rid the el if I can. I like my car for long distances, but if it's stop-and-go driving, I'd rather walk or take the train, no question. It lets me get out into the world a bit, interact with people, watch them.

Poor, poor Joe Davidson! HA
Well I'm off to my Honeymoon. Got some good reading material (all super-hero stuff I'm afraid). A hardcover X-Force collection by Mike Alldred, the Golden Age Spectre Archives, Will Eisner's Spirit Archives Volume 10. Have a long plane ride ahead of me, but tropical paradise to look forward to. So you won't hear from me for a while, but I will check in when I get back!! In the mean time continue to enjoy your chance meetings on trains!!

NOTES FROM THE FIELD
I've been driving through farmland all morning, even more rural than where I grew up. I've had the radio up really loud and I've been pretending to be Jack White and Ben Folds. Whenever I drive through Indiana I know I'll think of two things: one is that I think it's really cool when I get to that part of the...

My mind tends to wander a lot when I am driving. This is especially true when I am making a drive I have done many, many times like going to Chicago and back. I do some of my best thinking while I drive.
I have never really appreciated our culture. I think you're right that we have a culture that is underappreciated. I think one of the reasons that it gets disregarded is that it is basically stolen from other countries. Then again, that is becoming less true all the time as we get older...hell, we really are still one of the younger nations.

Wow you know somebody named Stella..........how do you not scream her name in a torn shirt for fun, is amazing to me.
I think what we btoh addressed in our entries was the whole "Write what you know" thing. I fyou follow by your knowledge and be honest with the work and such, especially with yourself, you'll get what you want and people will nod, going, "Yeah, I dig"
Interesting we saw that...

I saw a commercial for the DVD release of The Beatles Anthology and it filled me with all sorts of giddy feelings.
I first caught on to the Beatles when this series originally aired in . . . 1996? Maybe 1995. I was a sophomore in high school and it was "I Am the Walrus" that actually did it for me. I went digging through...

Junior year in high school I went thru the same thing with the Beat Poets - Ginsberg, Burroughs, Corso, all obsessed me and my friends in our little club - great stuff. The White Album, definitely in my top 10 albums of all time.

I've been on a Super Nintendo kick for the past few days. It happens maybe once a year or so--I drag out the system and my box of old games, or head to a video game shop and buy some new ones for five or six bucks, and I'll spend maybe a week reliving a little bit of my childhood. I'm not quite sure what...

I didn't remember Mario Kart coming out on the SNES, I thought it was only on the 64.
My old roommate and I spent hours upon hours upon hours playing Mortal Kombat 2 back when we lived in the dorms. We got so good at it that the only person who was even remotely a challange to play was playing against each other. Everyone else we just toyed with. We always just did random select too, so we were unfairly good with every character. We would end up having one of our weak characters and still be able to toy with people and taunt them the whole match. Make them think they have a chance and then pull off a huge combo to finish them off. He comes into town every once in awhile and we get together and play, so much fun.

If there were people like Bill Drummond I would be one happy kid. Bill is the author of a handful of books, one-half of a reasonably popular pop group that has gone through at least half a dozen names, and, with the K Foundation, he burned a million quid.
One of his books is called BAD WISDOM. He wrote it with Mark Manning, lead singer...

I wrote so many papers on The Great Gatsby in college. I'm obsessed with Grail legends. But most of all, I read erotica...I just can't stop. I guess I need to up my bizarre quota.

Back from the Dame Darcy reading at Quimby's. She read a story from her book FRIGHTFUL FAIRYTALES called "The Queen of Spades" about a graverobbing woman prone to murdering dogs, meeting ghosts, and lapsing into comas.
She also brought out her banjo to perform a few sea shanties and murder ballads, accompanied by her guitarist Skippy. She's been on tour since the beginning of March...

I like Meat Loaf because he's fat and disgusting, his hair is terrible, he likes medieval fantasy rock and roll, motorcycles, Patrick Swayze and semi-trucks, and ruffled shirts. He makes theatrically sappy rock songs that are everything I dislike about music,and oh, let's not forget Rocky Horror--aside from Tim Curry saying, "well how bout that," I'm positively sick of that film/stage production/hullaballoo . . ....

Hoaxes and fakery.
I'm terribly attracted to elaborate hoaxes. I can trace it back to when I was a kid and during the summer I would go to the library with my mom once a week. I would check out stacks and stacks of books about ghosts, monsters, UFOs, bigfoot, that sort of thing. Those Time/Life "read the book" tomes were my friends. At the...
