i miss the innocence i’ve known

zoom zip

i’ve got my spaceman spiff sheets on my bed tonight. i can hardly wait to go to bed. it was a lot of work, changing that damn duvet cover, but i suspect it will be highly rewarding.

i want a c-oo-l r-i-d-e-r

sister #4 is not at all impressed that i know every word to every song in the movie Grease 2. i just sang along to the entire movie while it was playing on UPN Channel 9. i even got a little weepy when stephanie zinone was singing “turn back the hands of time.” kids these [...]

i want you to scrape me from the walls

and with this headline: Layne Staley, Alice In Chains Singer, Dead At 34, i’m hurtled back to 1994. i’m sure whenever one of the members of the bands i love die, i’ll be back in 1994. sitting at my desk at The Specator fielding calls from friends who want make sure i know. make sure [...]

Blue Mystery Spooj

Sometimes I find it a tad bit ironic that I work in marketing and at the same time I am the biggest sucker for marketing propaganda that ever walked the planet. I fall for it all– new packaging, new improved taste, better than before! I write stuff like that every day and yet I fall [...]
