The boyfriend and I play Morning Wake Up DJ on youtube or spotify every day, because getting out of bed is hard, all right? He’s much better at it than I am—I default to (the same) shitty skate punk bands in the morning roughly 80% of the time. On the other hand, he finds cool shit constantly. We both also have a thing for cover songs, especially cover songs across genres.

Postmodern Jukebox (tagline: an alternative history of pop music) is a cool as fuck band that does style parodies of pop songs. They do a lot of ragtime and do wopp, but this is their Wild West cover of Ke$ha’s Die Young. It’s rad as fuck. There you go. You’re welcome.

List of things my dog has declared holy war against:

Fallen over traffic cones, empty cardboard boxes, large men with beards and/or hats, large men holding anything that might possibly be a bludgeoning weapon, semi-trucks, bicycles, tricycles, and now also walkers (the type with wheels).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

I love everything.

Here is a picture of my dog in last year’s costume. As you can see, he hated it. There were supposed to be bat wings, too, but each time I tied them onto his back he just dissolved into a puddle of despair and flopped on the floor like a particularly distressed and dying fish. The headband he eventually got used to. Sort of. Not really.

This year he is going to be a bumblebee! I am very excited.

Find the Pit Bull Owner Game | Game Dog Guardian:

You’ve heard it all before.  “Pit bulls are only kept for one reason…” or “I don’t understand why anyone would want to own a pit bull…” or “only criminals and drug dealers own pit bulls…” Game Dog Guardian has long maintained that communities’ efforts to regulate pit bulls are just thinly veiled attempts to regulate the “class” of people that are perceived to be pit bull owners.  Be it racial, economic or other bigoted perceptions, pit bull owners are often lumped into one group and assumed to be social miscreants of one kind or another.  For some reason it is hard for many people to wrap their heads around the idea that most pit bulls are good, sound dogs and most pit bull owners are responsible, decent citizens. 

[…]

Saying that all pit bulls are bad dogs and that all pit bull owners are gang members, drug dealers or dog fighters seems as silly as saying that all labs are good for hunting and not much else and all lab owners are hunters, or that all mastiffs are good for guarding property and killing people in battle and not much else and all mastiff owners are Roman Centurions who bravely defend us from the tribes and hordes of the outside world.

Finally bought these. I think…I think this year’s Halloween will be SEXY PHANTOM OF THE OPERA REDUX (with more accessories). Instead of wearing a waistcoat and no pants, I might just wear a dress this time. Last time I went full Phantom for Halloween was, what, two years ago? Three? The Halloween I spent in New Orleans, swanning through graveyards and popping into vampire stores and breaking vegan (at the time) for cafe au lait at and breaking paleo for beignets at cafe du monde. That Halloween. That was a good Halloween, my friends.

For reasons I will write about when more coherent, this year has already also been a wonderful Halloween.

All right. I just need to prepare to bellow song lyrics at babes all night. I got this, guys.

"Before a wolf was brought into their classroom, a group of grade-school children were asked to draw..."

“

Before a wolf was brought into their classroom, a group of grade-school children were asked to draw pictures of wolves. The wolves in the pictures all had enormous fangs.

The wolf was brought in, and the person with him began speaking about wolves. The children were awed by the animal.

When the wolf left, the teacher asked the children to do another drawing. The new drawings had no large fangs. They all had enormous feet.
