My Urinating is Always Civilized

Taken in the men’s room on Mt. Emei in Sichuan Provence.  It definitely wasn’t fresh air in there.

Watch Bonnaroo on the Live Stream

Every year me and the wife say we are going to make it to Bonnaroo, and every year we don’t go (at least a few times this owns up to being because we’re out of the blooming country, so that’s an excuse.) With what I like to call super-dooper-cool technology you can now watch […]

Dreamin’ Songs: “Longview” by Green Day

To celebrate a friend’s birthday we went to Karaoke last night.  It was good times and on the taxi ride back home we continued to sing songs.  At one point we landed on “Time of Your Life” by Green Day.  This made me reflect on them as a band.  On how they went from serious […]

CD Pick of the Week: Martha Wainwright - I Know You’re Married, But I’ve Got Feelings Too

Here’s the deal - I’ve been very busy this week.  It is the week before finals at my wife’s school and apparently most of the teachers decided to call in the days off they have remaining which means I’ve been subbing like a mad-man.  I’m putting in full days at the school and then adding […]

I’m Too Young for This *Beep*

We went to Beijing this weekend and while there are many stories to tell and pictures to share, I wanted to say this now, as I am terribly busy this week and those other things won’t see light for a while.
Not once, not twice, but three times I was asked if Sara, our friend and […]
