Hitting Bottom at Ikea

I don’t think this is the kind of information one should share freely, but…

Because I am remodeling my home from the top down… and because I have no idea how to do these things without doing 75% of it incorrectly and having to redo it again and again and again… I have been in Ikea [...]

Today on the Metro

Packed train, rush hour, standing-room only:

Middle-aged man with Down’s syndrome, complaining to the train conductor through the emergency intercom system that he had to stop the train and force someone to give him their seat. “These are all bad people on this train,” he said. “I have special needs, and no one [...]

Horrible, Hairy Hospitalet

Seriously, I’d love to know who thinks this shit up.

The local government’s apparent contempt for its citizens is perfectly represented by this desolate little “park” at the Europa-Fira metro station in L’Hospitalet, just outside of the Barcelona. In all my thousands of trips to Ikea, I have never once seen even one human soul actually [...]

10-Year Old Stands Up for Gays in USA

I can’t figure out which would be more bizarre: to live in a society where marriage is prohibited to only you and others like you, or to have a child as brilliant, mature and conscientious as this kid.

Hats off to the brave 10-year-old Will Phillips and his father Jay for risking their comfort, reputations and [...]

“This Is Where We Burn the Jews”

I wrote a page on a strange experience I had a few years back in Barcelona. It’s called “This Is Where We Burn the Jews“. Enjoy and comment if you wish.

¡MADRILUSTERFUCK!

Being a dirty, ignorant foreigner, I sometimes get caught in the crossfire of the eternal Madrid/Barcelona rivalry. This time, I don’t want to be accused of favoring one city over the other, so here’s Madrid’s version of Catalonia’s “catalusterfuck“: the MADRILUSTERFUCK!

Awesome!

Madrid. De Cojones.

Back in Madrid for Anti-Karaoke. Love this town. This is a town with huevos. Contundente.

I got something else I wish I could show you, but right now I gotta start shaving my toes and curling my hair for the 3rd anniversary show of AK-Madrid. Stay tuned!

DA-AMN! Someone Really Wanted Their Bling.

Saw this yesterday on the Rambla Catalunya. Guess he reeeeally wants her to marry him.

Enough With the Rain Already!

It’s been raining for the past — what is it now, three?!– months in Barcelona. This has been the rainiest winter I’ve ever experienced here. And, of course, it’s rained every night I’ve had a show. I’m scared to see what April will be like. Fer Chrissake. I’m up to my ass in it.

I’ve got [...]
