Well, well, well! This is a most unexpected bit of infotainment! Refreshing, certainly! The big story here: EMMA STONE IS JUST ANOTHER STREET-LEVEL NERD LIKE THE REST OF US! EMMA STONE IS A TRIVIA GEEK, AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT! Continue reading →

We all know about art-rock, art-damaged rock. Here’s some lit-damaged rock. See if you can pick-up which famous era of letters is suggested by the song’s mood & allusions… Continue reading →

Unchecked growth, the perpetual-motion hamster-wheel of late-capitalism consumerism, the superiority/inferiority mode of thinking, commodity-fetishization…it’s in there! Continue reading →

Well-deserved!

Jayson Stark now in the Baseball Hall of Fame! Even 40 years ago, when he was doing his early-week MLB recap columns in the Philalala Ink-wire (Ink-wire!), you could tell, no matter how young & innocent & inexperienced you were, that he was one-of-a-kind, a top talent, with his enthusiasm & enjoyment of his covering the sport, its athletes & their statistics coming in loud-and-clear in each crazy topic he chose, every wild sentence he devoted to those topics. Yes, it was in a print medium, via old-school, broadsheet, major-daily journalism; but you could still feel the energy & zaniness! Salute! Continue reading →

It appears impressionistic…

…maybe Monet?…

…but, trompe l’œil, Kevork K. Kanine knows it’s just fallen leaves in a wintertime swimming pool!

Gusty again, low relative humidity…

…so, batten down the hatches & lacquer what’s left of the hair!

This fine (read: delicate, lightweight) Asian hair does not respond to all male-grooming products equally. Brylcreem & VO5 are too heavy; they mat the hair down. But these modern, hip, Millennial-type hair-treatments (but NOT styling gels) are much more flattering now.

Today, a liberal application kept all the locks (yea, verily, thinning!) in place. Salute! Continue reading →

Saturday! Continue reading →

In the Rumi / rheumy / roomy mode of living, there’s ample space to be mawkish one day or one moment, then raucous the next. So it is here. We have plenty of schlubs wreaking havoc on our bus today, unlike those souls on the train yesterday who went through a most eventful ride. These bus-riding schlubs, well, they all want a shot at driving the bus, being in control, steering the wheel, punching the accelerator to beat the yellow traffic signal, or braking gracefully to let random pedestrians navigate the crosswalk without fear of being run-over. The thoughtful, mawkish driver from Thursday has given way to the raw-instinct raucous driver on Friday. Yesterday, the cold, death-strewn woods of suburban Balto., Md., after a horrific train wreck; today, the pulsing, geothermally heated discotheque floors of Reykjavik! Björk’s on fire here, perfect for an early-January Friday free-for-all! Continue reading →

As we do each year, we remember the events that took place on the railroad tracks at Chase, Md., on this date in 1987. Continue reading →
