Tickets
So there’s some big flap about tickets for Burning Man this year; since they ended up selling out last year, they introduced a lottery to sell the first round of tix this year, and it’s kinda been a clusterfuck. I don’t fully understand it, but it kinda sucks… One, because unless this kinda thing is resolved, it means that if I ever do want to return to BRC, it may not just...

Power Outage
Power went out for a bit last night, which was a tiny bit annoying as we were just sitting down to start a movie; but fun because I got to jump up and light our oil lamp and candles.
Anyway, was just lighting the last candle when the power came back on. Rats.
(Yeah, I know, we could do this at any time, but it really only counts when the power’s out…)

Spatula Reunion →

We saw them “perform” at Linoleum and maybe a couple other places. They were pretty funny.

HEY you know what’s annoying? When people see you eating salad and they’re like, “oh are you on a diet?” No, motherfucker, I just like salad.
Tried this the night you posted it, and Rocky and I concur—this is the best salad dressing....

Travel Thoughts: Czech Republic
One thing that I was disappointed about in the Czech Republic was that they didn’t have garage sales or flea markets.
The thing is, there was probably so much cool old stuff that people had in storage, in garages, etc. Or maybe they didn’t think it might have been cool, but for an American, it would have been. Design and construction of everyday things in Iron-Curtain countries was a...

More Snow
Another four inches of light, fluffy snow last night. Shoveling the walks was quick work, but it’s going to be a while before the roads are clear enough for me to start biking to work again. Looks like bus/light rail for a few days…

The Takeaway
So this morning on The Takeaway radio new show, they were discussing Mitt Romney’s quote about “I don’t care about the poor…they have a safety net…” After the news was read, host John Hockenberry said something along the lines of, “How can you be a presidential candidate and say you don’t care about the poor? That’s like jumping out of a...
