Radio Blog

I recently discovered Radio.blog. I just wasted an hour getting it all setup, but now on the left you can listen to a few songs while you browse the blog. If you like them then you can go download/buy them for yourself, or you can just ignore them all together. The song quality is kind of crappy, but I had to that to reduce the file size.
I'll start with these five songs, and see how it goes.
Anyway, enjoy...or not.

Home Field Forever

Tribute to the Cleveland Indians - and a season of woe for the Los Angeles Dodgers

this is where I'm at

There a building with a black roof in the center of this picture. I'm currently on the 3rd floor of that building in the south-easterly apartment. To my northwest is an elementary school with a red roof and a big empty parking lot that acts as an asphalt playground for the children. In the morning (around 9am when I don't have to work) the children act as my alarm clock with all their little screaming voices. If I'm feeling lazy I'll sleep through the 9am screaming and wait until I hear the screaming at recess a few hours later.
Currently the sky is not as clear as the photo shows. There is a big storm over my building with loud thunder and bright lightening. It occasionaly surprises me and I spontaneously shout "Holy Shit!" to the room. The newslady just told me that currently 5,100 people in the St. Louis area are without electricity, obviously I'm not one of them.

Damn Traffic

As i drove the 2 north to the i-5 on my way to CalArts this afternoon I noticed a lot of traffic. It was backing all the up back up the 5 towards Silverlake.

Them i realized this was part of the 90,411 heading to the LA Coliseum for the Souterh California Home opener. and what a game that turned out to be....

possible art project (1)

Acquire a humvee and have it climb the staircase at the end of the Main Gallery at a calarts reception.

No big boom for me

I've just learned that the powers-that-be will not be imploding Busch Stadium at the end of the season. They've taken away what would have been the highlight of my long, cold, St. Louis winter. Now, the rest of St. Louis and I have to watch as a wrecking ball slowly knocks over the stadium. Apparently implosions are riskier and take longer to clean up than wrecking balls demolitions. Safety be damned. I want to witness the spectacle of a 50,000 seat stadium suddenly collapsing to the ground. Now all I have is ImplosionWorld.com.

Instead of politicking, let's spend more time on the important issues:

4th & Goal, 3 Seconds Left ?

Call the Bus.

Good times in the STL.

It's really hot in my apartment and it smells like a bird died in my air conditioner/fan.

Undefeated

A defensive touchdown, a safety and two field goals.

Let's Go Mountaineers!

Horseshoes and Lesbians

While Johnny was in town I had to explain the game of horseshoes to him. The game involves throwing a horseshoe around a metal stake located in a pit of sand or clay 40 feet away from you.This reminded be of an anectodote from last summer that I thought I should share.

While in Ohio I also got a chance to watch my Mom in action at her horseshoe league. It was fascinating. It was liking watching David Lynch's vision of white trash suburban women. The ladies were all chain smoking, drinking beer, and swearing more than a Tarantino film. There were lots of little kids running around but they didn't seem to mind the R rated event. In between all their vices, the women still had enough energy to throw their horseshoes around the metal post. The really old ladies were my favorite. With their cigarette still in their mouth they would fling their horseshoes into the pit. They also had these strange metal claws that they would use to pull the horseshoes out of the clay/mud so that their hands wouldn't get dirty. Then they would wipe the shoes off with a rag. I was fascinated that the body part they were most concerned with was their hands. It seemed somewhat obsessive. The subtext that makes this story even more Lynchian is that one old lady, while pointing to a team of well-built women with short hair, told my mom "All the women on that team are dikes." She was insulting them, but apparently there is some truth to the rumor that the big butch women like to get naked with the other big butch women. They have their own Secret Lesbian Horseshoe team. Don't worry. That's not the team my mom plays for.
