More Stairway to Stardom

I’m deeply sorry.

I promised myself I wasn’t going to do this, but apparently I have no self-control whatsoever.

Enjoy.

Stairway to Stardom

I have just discovered something that has made it difficult to concentrate on my work, family, and friendships. And that thing, Ladies and Gentlemen, is a New York public access TeeVee show from the early ’80s called STAIRWAY TO STARDOM.

I am powerless to stop clicking on every episode that shows up in the side column [...]

Post-Spanish Election Treat: Gushers!

Not only do I not understand the concept, but I don’t understand how something like this even exists. What a wonderful world.

Wouldn’t it have been awesome if these dancers were on the set, “interpreting” Rajoy and Rubalcaba’s answers during the debate?

Enjoy your post-Spanish election treat! Hat tip to my friend Beau Bahan in Austin.

Django Caption Contest!

No sé mucho de Django, pero este cartel me ha dejado impactada. Como podemos ver, su gira actual se llama “Puñaladas en el alma”, pero la extraña foto me ha provocado pensar en varios nombres alternativos. Por ejemplo, “Puñaladas en la cara.” O, “Tour I Drink the Blood of Newborn Babies”. O “Tour When I Look [...]

The Rapist Painting (& Other Artifacts of Luxury)

A fascinating artifact from a so-called “luxury” apartment we were staying in this week. An apartment where the internet didn’t work and the door to the balcony (and the only sense of ventilation) was nailed shut from outside, forbidding any kind of ventilation.

All right, it’s not exactly a rapist… but “Rapist Painting” has a nice [...]

Back from the Dead

Primero, quiero pedir disculpas a todos los que han dejado comentarios en este blog que no han sido aprobados hasta ahora. Este Word Press es una cosa rara; a veces me avisa cuando llegan y a veces no. En este caso, ha pasado de avisarme completamente… probablemente en espíritu de venganza, por mi comportamiento tan [...]

Cómo cagar

Nunca he ido a Japón, pero videos como éste no disminuyen mi fascinación… ni tampoco los esterotipos sobre los japoneses.

De dónde viene tanta alegría y positividad? Sólo sería justificado si el niño tuviese un hábito de cagarse en los pantalones o en la moqueta. Pero ver a los padres tan, taaaaan entusiasmados? Qué pastillas están [...]

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!
