Music Monday is Gray and Sultry
It’s a little old school, but so understated and gorgeous -Mad About Youfrom The Soul Cages album, by Sting:
Really, that whole album is magical. Incredible poetry, incredible songwriting, top notch arrangement and performances from all the musicians involved, as well as truly beautiful production and engineering values.

Humpday Hotties
Oh, blogness, how I have been cheating on you. In a good way. In honor of my current muses, I bring you a string of DELICIOUS older men:
(okay, I’m not sure how much Fassy counts as “older” but dayum.)

Throwback Thursday, sort of? Star Wars a la John Hughes!
Two delicious memories combined in a lovely series of sketches by Denis Medri – Star Wars if it existed in an 80′s John Hughes high school universe.
I love this, so very, very much.
And for a personal throwback Thursday, here’s a picture my old college roommate recently dug up. We were very, very high and laughing over hot nacho cheese, apparently.

That’s even a promo T-shirt from the release of Peter Gabriel’s US album I’m wearing. Good times.
And finally, because I’...

Oh, UNF, it’s good to be bad…
I’ll admit I snark a little bit about Jaguars (“Jagyoowers”) in my daily life. But this? Uhmmmm. Yes, please.

Weekend Mashup!
Hey y’all! In case you missed it, we here in the ATL area got buttfucked sans lube this week in the form of traffic mayhem and government failure. For a pretty good rant/summary of what went wrong, and how ridiculous this whole thing was, I refer you to Jon Stewart. For a more straightforward explanation sans mockery, Spencer Hall nailed it with his piece, ‘Here’s How Hothlanta Happened (Again)’.

Music Monday: the Late, Great, Jeff Buckley (*swoon*)

Personal-fail-time! Or, how a writer can resemble an obsessed piano-owner.
Heh, well THAT was a bust, eh? What can I say – the internet has been depressing me a bit for the last many weeks/months. I promise, I will try to get my shit together with this blog. But before that, I need to untangle my brain when it comes to the writing thing. And the being-a-writer thing.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not beating myself up. Much. When I say, “fail,” I mean to embrace the failure. Everyone should fail sometimes. You can’t get better without some setbacks, I guess.
