My Blog

See you on the picket line, brother.

Reading Vice a few weeks ago, "The Appalachia Issue," I came across a review for a 1974 documentary called Harlan County USA, about a union-backed coal miners strike in deep-south Kentucky. The review...

You're bleeding all over my duvet.

I've been MIA for a while, I know, and you've been cutting yourself awful deep to release some of the pain of missing me, so I thought I'd throw you a Band-Aid and a couple drops of Bactine. Straight ...

The Long Road Out, (prologue to pt. 4)

Liberace practically fell out the stage door of the Las Vegas Hilton that night, he'd been drinking before the show, at the intermission, and afterwards, but though he had been barely able to make it ...

Zombie Politik and The Walking Dead

I was reading Tim Cavanaugh's The Politics of Zombie Movies in this month's Reason, which, for the most part, was a retelling of the same observations I've heard about zombie films over the years: Daw...

The Long Road Out, pt.2

11/4/06 - Day 1 Originally, Rob and I had discussed heading straight for the South, both of us figuring that if anywhere was going to hold the most promise, would be the most culturally opposite, and...

The Long Road Out, pt.1

The Long Road Out Finally, at seven years old, my sister had had enough. What had it been? At least four years of a fixed bedtime - if that weren't bad enough - and suddenly, unexpectedly, our parents...

The Fakest Hard Nigga.

When I arrived home yesterday evening, I found that Anne had sent me a video of a Welsh Corgi puppy milling about in what looks like a small enclosure. Welsh Corgis are my favorite breed of dog - ever...

On my honor, I will do my best.

The Cub Scouts was one thing. Once a week, seven of my neighborhood playmates would be dropped off at my house, one by one, followed through the door by their mothers, mothers weighed down with backpa...

The Possum Story

"As soon as we get in the car, ask me to tell you my possum story, Clint." My grandfather hobbled down the hall, his knee brace making subtle squeaking sounds as he dragged his Velcro-strapped shoes o...
