Yesterday evening I
was sitting out on the porch with my book ("How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive" by Craig DiLouie ) while Joe was cooking dinner. Gradually, it began to smell like my mom's cooking. I was compelled by the aroma to come inside,
and Joe met me at the door, looking accomplished. "It smells so good, baby!" I said. "You can smell it all the way out here?" he said. Indeed, I could. And this Sic…
“You’ve gotta respect everyone’s beliefs." No, you don’t. That’s
what gets us in trouble. Look, you have to acknowledge everyone’s
beliefs, and then you have to reserve the right to go: "That is fucking
stupid. Are you kidding me?" I acknowledge that you believe that, that’s
great, but I’m not going to respect it. I have an uncle that believes
he saw Sasquatch. We do not believe him, nor do we respect him!”

Well you guys, unpacking is going sloooowly. And weirdly. For example, I haven't unpacked my mouse pad, of all things. I thought I packed it in my laptop bag where it would be right handy, but it wasn't in there when we got here and I set up my desk. Weird. I can't find it. However, I did find my high school/college journal. Right, like that was useful. BUT! As it happens, the journal makes an excellent mouse pad. It's the fabric …
Bone Gunn is a Boston artist I met one day over 15 years ago totally by accident (in the hallway at work, of all places) who blew me away with
this one. “Is It Fear” is the name of the song. I find myself listening to it every
so often. The genius behind Bone Gunn is Bryan Kane , who may or may not have moved out of Boston. I suppose I could just ask him. We're Friends on Facebook.
Oh for fuck's sake. I just asked Google a simple question about hanging a birdbath from the porch. I got the most useless and bizarre results. I scrolled for three pages in utter confusion...then I remembered the announcement in the tech pages for the changeover today: Google Search is ALL AI now. Wow, Google. Really? I really doubt anyone asked for this. I wonder what's going on this morning in the offices of the millions of MarTech SEO…
I saw a Facebook post today about this unicorn tapestry that someone copied onto a cookie cake. OH this unicorn tapestry! I love it. Actually, it's a series of seven tapestries called "The Hunt of the Unicorn." I went to college in NY, took art
history as a minor. My Art History minor was because of the Humanities class I took in
senior year of high school. I fell in love with learning about history
and civilization through its a…
I know it's been about three weeks since I've written, but I had a good reason. Guys, we moved! The apartment hunt is over! We ended up in Brighton , the town adjacent to Allston , the other of the juxtaposed neighborhoods of Boston. After 24 years, we are no longer proud longtime denizens of 02134, but proud new denizens of 02135. The two towns are always paired when talked about, as in "Allston-Brighton," so we didn't go fa…
