I’ve beaten higher in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (around 10% complete). I forgot to mention that the ROM I’m playing is the Japanese version, which means I have to look up what items do by their icon. On the plus side, it does help me ignore the story. 🕹️

Butthole Sun by Fartgarden. Is that anything? 🎵

As I was walking home, a giant rat ran under my foot. I fully stepped on a rat, I heard it squeak, and it vanished into an ally all before I realized there was rodents about. Me and my roommate laughed in disbelief for the rest of the walk.

Conan O’Brien Must Go is so good.

I bought my first ever pair of chucks. I’m digging them a lot. 👟

A shot of my legs in jeans and blue converse on my feet.

Getting my ass whipped at Magic: The Gathering at friendly local draft. The game has changed a lot in twenty years (who’d have thought?). Lots of fun still.

THIS.

Sitting on a New Jersey beach, which means it’s time once again for everyone’s favorite couple-spotting game: “Granddaughter or Mistress?”

Our apartment is in the sauce. 🌶️

Three bottles of hot sauce. Empress ghost pepper maqaw, and Melinda’s black truffle a d fire roasted garlic and habanero.

As we all know, The Breeders kick ass. 🎵

The copyright takedown problem has large negative impacts on your favorite artists, and hence you, and gets worse I think because it’s abstract and legal and that’s always a safe haven for big corporate.

First time really listening to the lyrics to Jack & Diane.

Suckin’ on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez.
Diane’s sittin’ on Jackie’s lap, he’s got his hands between her knees.
Jackie say, “Hey Diane, lets run off behind a shady tree.
Dribble off those Bobby Brooks slacks and do what I please”

I don’t know what’s more gross about this sex proposition, the one sided …do what I please or getting handsy while sucking a chili dog. 🎵 🌭

The phrase “Cranberry Wizard” popped into my head. Fun band name, or urethra magician?

LIR-Arg!

I wrote a humor column in college for the Hofstra Chronicle under the pseudonym Silence Doless, a nod to Benjamin Franklin I didn't come up with. I was very proud of this work at the time. It's all … Read more

Today is my second anniversary working for Lullabot. Joining the team is still one of the best decisions I’ve made. 😴🤖

Too much light makes the baby go blind, but too many blinds makes the window go dark. Think about it.

How different would rock n’ roll history be if The Ramones last name was “wiener”.

Targeting the ven diagram of magic the gathering players and people who want to know about local musicians.

Spotted on a Carrol Gardens lamp post.

A poster on a light post made to look like a fake magic the gathering card. It’s called Jake cascade and features a picture of a young man wearing overalls and a winter hat and holding a banana. The card text reads: “spellcaster. A powerful musician, Jake cascade’s spells blend genres to create a colorful musical cosmos. When this card is played all players receive existential relief. “

Maybe the most beige thing I’ve ever cooked. Stir fry a la Utz.

A bowl of rice with stir fried orange peppers, tofu and mushrooms and crushed potato chips on top.

It’s roof movie season.

A projector screen with the castlevania anime on it. It’s supported by ropes tied to posts in a city roof. Yellow glow from traffic lights illuminates the background.

It always tickles me whenever I see someone smoking while riding a bike.

In addition to my blog turning 15 years old this month, I noticed that I’ve had my drupal.org profile for even longer. My connection with Drupal has only grown with time. 💧

There’s something about seeing a loose VHS on the ground that makes me want to take a shower.

A down shot of a concrete city sidewalk. A garbage can looks in the frame. There’s trash all around it. A grimy VHS lays there amidst the garbage, back up.

I started playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night again, and I’m getting my ass kicked. I don’t remember losing this much this quickly my first time around, but that was years ago, so maybe I’ve forgotten it all. 🕹️
