I'm trying hard to understand the appeal. I grew up watching my father play video games, and Let's Players (at least the ones I've watched) show parts of the game I might not have seen on my own. And I've even been known to play video-game slot machines (for no money) on occasion. Is it a visceral thrill of watching…

Hey, I'm not elderly or white or… well, I vote!

To be fair, they only specified that it will happen, not when.

Well, now I'm hungry.

…for The Time, they are Morris Day-ing?

If only he had known all those years ago, we might have saved ourselves…

If I can get clearance from my insurance company, I plan to try it tomorrow.

Happy birthday from the other side of it this time!

A friend of mine who, like me, is synaesthetic, recommended the album to me. I haven't paid as much attention to the lyrics as I probably should; I just sit there and watch the music.

I picked up Dave Crosland's Ego Rehab, Alex Segura, Matthew Rosenberg, Gisele Lagace, and Ma. Victoria Robado's Archie Meets Ramones, and Jody Houser, Francis Portela, and Marguerite Sauvage's Faith at NYCC last week, but haven't had the time to sit down and read any of them. I also re-read my copy of The Tick: The…

My back is still five kinds of fucked up. It hurts to do pretty much anything. The specialist says it's probably a ruptured disk; i'm getting an x-ray later this week to see what my insides have to say. I had acupressure that (despite intense skepticism on my part) actually helped for a day, and I'm even considering…

ALPHABET SHUFFLE
So I came up with a game to amuse myself — songs that start with just a letter or its sound. I did the first 10. Does anyone want to help complete the alphabet?

Gorillaz — Dirty Harry
Bettie Serveert — Attagirl
Chris Cornell — Seasons
Tenacious D — The Road
Frank Zappa & The Mothers — Mom & Dad
Björk — It's Not Up To You
Foo Fighters — Headwires
Rolling Stones — Happy
Skee-Lo — I Wish
Rob Base — It Takes Two

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of someone else.

So far, my testicles are OK. I hope you get better soon!

Thank you kindly.

Awesome, someone else who has heard of Bettie Serveert!

Happy birthday tomorrow!

It seems unlikely, but I appreciate the thought.

Fuck that I can barely walk from whatever I did to my back, and that I can't go in to see a specialist until Monday.
