Slapstick is one of my pet Vonnegut books. Not a great work of his, but something in it/about it hits me so perfectly that it nestles deep in my psyche for the long haul. Galapagos is the other one that did that to me. Sirens has bits that affect me the same way, and through to this day, but it's also among one of his…

The reveal of who was actually writing to Unk was such a killer moment for teenaged-me.

Star should be getting notice, it's true. But this past "movie event" was a bit of a let-down to me.

I am now completely open to the possibility that this will be something worthy of the name, looks, and (especially) sounds of FLCL, even if it can't possibly…

Yeah, I'm super impressed by the whole package. I still think he's a more intriguing visual creative than a musical one, but the music actually holds up nicely and feels as queasily off-kilter as the video.

But how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

Grind all that stuff in the freezer into coarse patties and grill.

There's no way that last photo is an actual image of Kevin Pang. If it is, well…let's just say it's not how I pictured him.

The Walrus was Paul.

Goddamn you, Dr. San! How could Tim have known your vape blend would do this to the festivalgoers? And then you took the easy way out like a coward!

Stop policing my relationship.

A cat is fine too.
