mr_bad_example- Milwaukee, Wisconsin's own The Gothsicles are playing this Saturday night as part of the MarsCon festivities. Do check them out, won't you?
- Right around the top of Hour Three of this afternoon's meeting, I began to feel a more-profound-than-usual sense of regret at not having gone to barber college when I had the chance.
- It hasn't been the same since they moved to New York, but occasionally, The Onion can still hit one out of the park.
- While we're on the subject, this week's AV Club Interview is with Jim Gaffigan. He's one of my favorite standup comics at the moment.
- Would it be unseemly for a nearly-34-year-old, nearly-24-stone man to try to learn to skateboard?

Date: 2006-03-02 04:24 pm (UTC)There are politics everywhere, as much as one chooses to acknowledge them. There are some things I look past, and sometimes I take up others' battles. Other people do what they like without a mind toward politics, and that's excellent, that's very good for them. I strike allegiances, for better or for worse. It's limiting but I don't know any other way to be.

Date: 2006-03-03 04:55 am (UTC)Now that A Midsummer Night's Scream is defunct, I'm feeling a real void in the "go to Wisconsin to see a goth show" part of my soul.

Date: 2006-03-02 05:59 pm (UTC)I dunno about the skateboarding thing, though. I think you have the balance/grace. I think the bike thing is more awesome, though.

Date: 2006-03-03 04:44 am (UTC)My bike may very well be the most badass thing that's ever been constructed by human hands, I will grant you that.
