It's good to be home. I'm not sure if the fact that I will only be here for three days before I'm off to the east coast for a week (sort of a mini-vacation at home). It does make me realize how much I will miss this sleepy little hipster town. It is the first place that I could ever really call "home". It is...

wtf:
LOVE your pics.............. I can only imagine how it'll be leaving them. Or once you knew you were leaving, you instantly started missing them. AND I'm totally jealous of your ability to get great food! (let alone cook it, that's a whole other matter)
missharuko:
Thanks a lot! 
I'm blushing!!!!!!! 
I'm blushing!!!!!!! For every Culture has it's own Civilization. In this work, for the first time these two words hithero an indefinite, more or less ethical, distinction, are used in a periodic sense, to express a strict and nessicary organic succession. The Civilization is the inevitable destiny of the Culture, and in this principle we obtain the viewpoint from which the deepest and gravest problems of...

Vancouver?! I'm so jealous - it's beautiful up there.
Why do I keep buying LPs? The last thing I need right now is to acummulate more stuff, let alone heavy, hard to move stuff. I keep finding the most amazing records, I am amazed that I am not still a musician, it is the only thing that takes me away from the world of ideas. Ideas seem to be a big part of the...

Why does it all have to be about wine tasting and penny pinching right now. I doubt my conviction as an artist, I am so terrified of moving to Europe with pennies (after currency conversion). I had a friend a few years ago, a closeted jewish economist who took drags off of his cigarettes as if they were joints (I liked him because he never...

Cool ~ Maybe we can work something out. ~ When are you going to be here?
lizardam:
K ~ Let me know what you have planned ~ I will talk to Jay and see what he thinks about it.
since Man fell into consciousness and self-consciousness, that we can only go forward step by step through realization, full, bitter conscious realization. This is true of all the great terrors and agonies and anguishes of life: sex and ware and even crime. . . The small pox sores are running yet in the spirit of mankind. And we have got to take this putrid spirit...

"I steal from every movie ever made." quentin tarantino
and i'm glad you worked out the crisis. not sure what happened though. paperwork issues?

i/m half italian..does that count? haha
I'm done moping. I am in the most glorious mood today, I spent more money than I should have, new jeans, new shoes and a very tall stack of records. The sun is out and I sat outside reading and drinking beer all afternoon winking at the cute girls in sundresses and big glasses as they walked by. Bumped into my old friend, Matt Brown...

I apologize in advance for this rant.
The company is full of liars, and I'm a fool for not putting in my notice three weeks ago. They had no intention of letting us (the kitchen) keep any autonomy, the organic product is going away, as are the small farmers that supply us with product. The new executive chef is being introduced tommorow at a shoddily...

Win the lottery. That's what I'm planning on doing. I figure it's a pretty solid plan, as long as I don't not win.
In light of current events I've been thinking about the phenomena of school shootings. I was thinking, "why schools?" Schools are a massive institution, the second most important imprinter of culture after family, where the standards of society at large are learned. The shooters are symptoms of something larger, of our diseased culture, effectively cornered rats lashing out. When caged rats are overcrowded they eat...

That cycle is a vicious one, and it creates psychos. That's why I'm never getting married, if I have kids I'll adopt, I'll never be tied to a job that I hate (for too long) and I literally live my life to the fullest. I don't think I'll be going handguncrazy in this lifetime.

The corporate takeover of my restaurant happened this monday, in classic sleazy corporate fashon. Our new "owner" lied to us twice in the course of the first two days: on monday we had to come in and clean for three hours and Bruce (the owner) made repeated statements about being done so that we would be ready for lunch the next day, then at the...

Dave is ranting about the OLCC again, his intelligence matched only by his parinoia, "They have my made my house unlivable, I need to get the fuck out of this town!". He is convinced he is is begging to show signs of diabetes 2, his back is out again -- at least his record is mastered. Meantime Sandy cracks his back and nods tenderly and...
