pasta puttanesca

flying down the hill
at an insane rate of speed:
blue saucer, white snow


oh my gawd, you want to know what is the best thing ever, well i'll tell you. emma and sammy and i went to jefferson hill at jefferson junior high this morning and went sledding. we have never done this before today, so apparently i have been an AWFUL FATHER; it rocked so hard. sammy and his new blue plastic one-man disc sled, emma in the good old family black one (pretty much just a thin synthetic sheet of death), me helping them carry their sleds back up the hill and occasionally taking a turn out there, too much ballast to really get it good, but i have to keep my hand in there. anyway: i love winter and wisconsin again, at least till next snowfall or next hands-cracking-and-bleeding incident or next -13 with the wind chill

man i hate the wind chill. the wind chill is a pretty good band name though. others: the infamous blackguards, the empty superlatives (a phrase lobbed at me by chuck e. more than once), the reveal. OH MAN i love that last one, don't steal if you love me.

reviews to peruse:
Chingo Bling;
Lil Jon;
Ahmed Ma Hlad;
Motion Trio;
some others later.

man i'm tired, that sledding wiped me out.

Matt Cibula. Although I remember very few people from high school, I remember you. I was talking to Ryan Lillie, after teaching a night ASL class, and your name came up. I had one of those flashbacks, like I was in a movie. The flashback began with me making out with Joe Cook on the band retreat and ended with you patting my shoulder and saying, "You're all right, Robertson."

Why this sent me to the computer to check out what you've been writing these days? I dunno. But I like it. And I'm glad I did.

I teach writing to teenagers at Oregon School for the Deaf. I love it.

Just a random connection. But your writing on music is forcing me to close up shop here and run for the used record store.
