About Me

If you're here for the free popcorn, I'm sorry, it's gone. I don't want to name names, but I'm pretty sure some people were taking more than one bag, despite the very conspicuous sign that said "One Bag Only Please, Friends". You know who you are.I'm not going to lie. It makes me pretty upset. I mean, this whole thing is for charity, and some people just want to take advantage of it. For the free popcorn.At this rate we won't even be able to do this again next year.

My Interests

Racketeering

I'd like to meet:

An astronaut, I guess. That'd be pretty bitchin', don't you think?

Music:

I was at this Crooked Fingers show the other night and he played two Johnny Cash songs. Two! Also: Starland Vocal Band.

Movies:

Seven Samurai. Apocalypse Now. Raging Bull. Goonies.

Books:

Mostly I read 1984 over and over again.

I never get what I deserve.  It seems like my friends have an uncanny knack for making people moderately famous, but the good luck isn't working on me.   My friend Jamie was writing partners...

House Where Nobody Lives

Recently Melanie and I have undertaken the Great American Dream: accumulating the largest debt of our lives.  Yes, house shopping.   Most of the houses we've looked at have current residents...

Coney Island Baby

The other day the girlfriend and I were planning an expedition to her (sorta) hometown of Jackson, MI.  You can't go to Jackson without going to Coney Island for a coney hot dog, since that's wh...

In the Colosseum

The other day I received paperwork in the mail about my ten-year high school reunion.  It's coming up in July.   I have a lot of work to do.   Look at these pathetic, spindly arms.&nbs...

Murder in the Red Barn

Yesterday I was in a local grocery store picking up a six-pack of Arcadia IPA and a card for my girlfriend.  She's been having a rough week at work and I wanted to do something to show her I care...

Quitting Smoking Part 38: The Quickening

I quit smoking over a week ago.  That means for over seven days I haven't had a cigarette.  A cool, sweet tube of tobacco, smoldering away happily between my soothed lips.  A reassuring...

Dental Care and Larceny in Los Angeles

Last night I sauntered over to my hotel sink to perform my nightly ritual of tooth-brushing, face-washing, and Travis Bickle impression.  But my toothbrush was gone. The cleaning staff at the hot...
