Totally worth checking out the brownie troop fishing show.. Just a bunch of drunk-ass alternative rockers going fishing with Dean Ween and having a blast. Excellent!

thats what I call it.
Gin, water, splash of cranberry, squeeze of lemon and dash of bitters.
Rank but kindof more-ish.

reading a book online is a headache but sooo easy!

Loading google books from a shortcut as an application in Chrome is a breeze, but I can’t fathom the lack of a bookmark function.

Without the egg’s ability to join fat-based and water-based liquids, we wouldn’t have cake or mayonnaise or Caesar salad dressing!

The sun is but a morning star

I’m really enjoying reading Thoreau’s Walden at the moment.

“Was that a farmer’s noon horn which sounded from beyond the woods just now? The hands are coming in to boiled salt beef and cider and Indian bread. Why will men worry themselves so? He that does not eat need not work.”

“For my panacea*, instead of one of those quack vials of a mixture dipped from Acheron and the Dead Sea, which come out of those long shallow black-schooner looking wagons which we sometimes see made to carry bottles, let me have a draught of undiluted morning air. Morning air!”

*A panacea is a cure-all, either physical medication or a solution to a problem. The term is mostly used in the negative sense of an illusory solution to all problems.(Wikipedia)

pelicans, punk..

I’ve been aware of the name Mike Watt for some time.
He was bassist for the Minutemen.
Somehow I got on his mailing list way back years ago, but never really
clicked with his vibe and music. Well, it’s clicked now.
The guy is a legend, and an inspiration.
The new header image you see is from his amazing collection
of pics from his home in San Pedro, California.
His radio show is completely worth a listen.
His ‘hoot page’ is refreshingly real, and
this vid of him with JMascis is sick!
