Whenever I log on to SG these days I get an overwhelming sensation that it has become an unfortunate cliche It is the problem with being "alternative" and breaking conformity. Eventually, as you catch on in your alternative coolness, you end up becoming mainstream. I loo\k at the new sets and all these young women seem to be trying so hard to be different, but...

I watched that race on TV - wow! Oracle had a slow start but ended up smoking Emirates! I think the tactician on Emirates made a bad tacking call...

Agreed. And the proliferation of endlessly self-promoting Hopefuls (talk about trying too hard!) has been getting on my nerves for a long while. That, coupled with the fact that I absolutely cannot STAND this new redesign, means I will not be renewing my membership when it lapses in January. Looks like you had an amazing summer. Your pictures of your trip to Greece and Turkey are absolutely STUNNING. *drool* Thanks SO much for sharing. (Sorry about the big, continuous LUMP of a comment here. Apparently the creative geniuses at SGHQ have removed our ability to insert paragraph breaks.)
Happy Friday the 13th. Sorry to be so inactive...but as ya know, life happens. I finally got around to posting a few of our pics from our summer travels - Summer 13
Greece and Turkey were both amazing in their own ways. In Greece, after flying in to Athens, we spent a week on the Island of Kos. My two "brothers" from high school- Henrik...

Yup, the trip up north was brief, but a blast. 
Thanks for the well-wishes, good sir. Hope you've had a fantastic summer! ♥

Score!
Happy Father's Day to all you Dads past, present and future. My old man taught me a lot. He overcame a ton of health-related adversity and a shitty upbringing to make family the most important thing in his life. At the age he is in this photo (not sure exactly- but in his 20s in the mid 1950s) he looks so young. His life is...

Pity your cherry blossoms didn't stick around long. (We've been pretty fortunate out here, in that ours have hung in there much longer than expected, despite all the rainfall.)

The NY subway is a great equalizer and humanizer. I am always humbled and amazed when I visit and experience the rich fabric of life riding the A Train or any other line. We are all the same. Just another rider making our way to our destination.

"Peeps Mourn Their Peeps"! Tee-hee! Pure genius!
As always, I am completely blown away by the time and creativity put into these. So fun. Thanks for sharing!
Yup, I.R.S. was truly a brilliant label. Rivaled only by Rough Trade and Stiff, in my humble opinion. (I have great affection for Sub Pop and SST, but the quality of their output has been a bit spottier, over the years.) Suburban Lawns and the Method Actors definitely share the same kooky, hip aesthetic, for sure.
PS: Have the cherry trees blossomed out there yet? Ours appeared way early this year.
