would not should good

Well, it’s not the Gorge, but at least it is a Cure concert.
I am expecting to be dazzled.

After deciding my Amazon list was a little too long, and that I wasn’t sure if I was going to buy on the stuff on the list, I spent some time this weekend trying to buy the same stuff on eBay.
It has required more work than simply buying the stuff on Amazon Marketplace, but I […]

Patty and I had dinner with our friends Brina and Darin last night. We went to a place called the Porterhouse in Mount Vernon. Lots of different beers on tap and the food was good. Patty had a yummy pear cider, that tasted like a dessert wine. We also had some […]

Blogs appear to be like food. You kind of like to move around to other styles after a while, as you get sick of the same old food, even if you like it a lot.
My new favorite blog is stereogum.com. It has a good smattering of new music, including references to Elvis Costello […]

Finally got around to watching this movie, which I had recorded to my ReplayTV from the Western Channel. I went on a binge of recording a lot of stuff off the Western Channel after watching the updated dvd of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

For a change of pace, here is a music post not about the Cure.
Last Tuesday (August 17th, 2004) marked the release of The Name of this Band is Talking Heads by Rhino Records. I bought the originally album in the teenage wasteland of my youth, which I sold when I moved to […]

Visited the Opening Hooks web site via Boing Boing. It is kind of fun to wander through the openings a myriad of books.
I added the opening to Alfred Bester’s The Stars My Destination to the collection:
“This was the a Golden Age, a time of high adventure, rich living, and hard […]
