assorted apologies

I haven’t been feeling very good lately, and I’ve flaked on some things.

Joe & Co.: sorry about the mix cd. Will get it done when I can.

thiscantbesoy: didn’t find a way to get that gift certificate. I suck. sorry.

Ferdinand: I haven’t been to any of your shows in about a year even though I really like your music. Oops. Sorry.

Everyone I was supposed to be involved with in some fun web project: sorry.

I guess that about covers it.

Youths! Please verify this piece of Pop Culture Information.

I am told that there is a “new style” of “slam dancing”. I am further told that this resembles fake kung fu in place, the kind of thing you see street crazies doing, like shadow boxing.

1. Is this true?

2. If this is true, can someone please show me a picture of it happening?

3. Please direct me to the next place it is likely to happen, so that I can be there with a Supr-Soaker full of cat pee.

Yours truly,

An old punk

You can also mix the red and white to get rosé!

An article in the WSJ covered nutritional content of alcoholic beverages today. Good article, actually, with some surprising results (Guinness has less carbs than bad American beers like Budweiser, for example).

However, this gem of modern idiocy was included:

Jayde Feinstein, a 22-year-old office manager in Los Angeles, dilutes the cranberry juice in her cranberry and vodka with a little water to limit her sugar and carbs. She also dilutes red wine with sparkling water to make sparkling wine. “It’s a brilliant way to minimize the carbs, but still get the same flavor you desire.”

Jayde? No.

I’m in that “nothing to lose” and “consequences matter not” mode right now. So if anyone needs a major felony committed, or a hugely humiliating task completed, or a 47 Ronin style suicide attack done, just let me know; I’m your guy!

Yours,

that Guy with Nothing to Lose

The Lovin’ Spoonful

I caffeinated at a Starbucks on 7th Avenue this morning. As I was awaiting my beverage, someone else’s White Chocolate Mocha Vanilla Syrup Extravaganza with Cremey-Ass Creme was set out and they hadn’t showed up yet.

As I watched, the pressure of the foam inside this beverage caused it to slowly spurt and bubble out about a tablespoon of creamy white warm sticky goo.

Now that’s a happy beverage.
