It’s time someone take to the streets and make sure that Halloween is a safe and holy good time for everyone. My people are calling, I must now go forth and bless them all with my presence.
Happy Halloween!

I bet they’re more fun when they’re drunk.

I didn’t consciously do this, but I’ve developed a secret code word for annihilating and/or relocating unwanted crickets from my home. It started thanks to the many numbers of crickets who consider my homestead a Beverly Hills mansion in their own little world of real estate. Every time I’d see one of the things, I’d [...]

I think, since she’s going to Bible College, it’s safe to say she’d renounce me anyway.

There’s this one story I’ve been meaning to write down for, oh, the last two years or so. (It happened more like four or five years ago, but I decided that I wanted to write it down only two years ago.) For the sake of background, I’ll briefly explain: It’s the story of how my [...]

Getting all up in that.

This is what happens when you suddenly reestablish control over your own life: you sleep well, you get up on time, finish some work in a mere two hours that previously would have consumed at least twice that much time, you take a test and feel that, despite not having studied every single spare moment [...]

An all-expenses paid vacation is in order right about now.

Make way for one doozy of a list. This one: “All things that may or may not be sucking the life out of me.”
1.) It’s almost Monday, and being the lousy blog-contest host that I am, I cannot yet announce the winners. Jana had a bunch of gigs in a row this weekend, and I [...]

And then they were all “See? If we allow the gays to marry, this guy’s going to want to marry his air purifier next!”

Phil | October 16, 2008

On Tuesday, thanks to all the pomp and circumstance (not the good kind, mind you) that comes along with intense wildfires, I decided it might not be a bad idea to go invest in an air purifier. I was a mere four miles or so from the fire, a safe enough distance away that I [...]

The Santa Ana Winds can kiss my ass.

Fires suck, big time. Oh sure, things close and I you get an afternoon off here and there, but breathing the smell of smoke is a drag (pun quite unintended), and heck, breathing the smoke itself is no bed of roses. Someone needs to break out the “Flames Be Gone” STAT. But seriously, LAFD has [...]

Being Merch Gurl for the Merch Girl

Phil | October 10, 2008

I’ve had this website at this domain for just over a year now, and it’s high time I celebrate in style. And because I’m a huge music fan, I’ve teamed up with my good friend and fellow Albuquerquian Jana Pochop to bring you, dear readers, a contest that brings with it the opportunity of winning [...]

No wit for the exhausted.

Phil | October 6, 2008

I had a rough week last week. I had a much nicer weekend, until the end, of course, when I realized that there is no rest for the weary and I’d better get some or most of my interminable studies done lest I suddenly die a horrible death by grad school termites. Because I lack [...]

The one where I start screaming and then finally calm down.

I listened to Elton John’s Crocodile Rock no less than five times in a row tonight once I got home. Indeed, it’s been one of those weeks. You know the ones. The ones where songs like Crocodile Rock suddenly transcend from simply ‘classic’ song to ‘I feel so introspective all of a sudden and this [...]
