| 25.2.19 16:47 | | I saw the tweets about Mark Hollis and had to go back to bed. I'm devastated. I've probably shared this article before but it's a good one. I always held out hope that he'd re-emerge with something new and it sucks that I can't feel that any more. (Noisey: How to Disappear Completely: When Musicians Retire For Good) |

| 24.2.19 18:03 | | OK, I did forget the Oscars were tonight. Somehow I still want to try to get to this show instead despite all of tonight's parking being on snow emergency routes |

 | I loooooooooooove that it was warm enough to sit on my porch for a while. So what if there's another blizzard a few hours away? At this point I'll take what I can get :) |

| 23.2.19 04:00 | | I just watched an extremely mediocre "Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" episode from 1981 on Antenna TV - the guests were Suzanne Pleshette and Dick Cavett - and honestly, I've never felt more like an adult. All that was missing was me falling asleep in the middle of it. |

 | I know Republicans aren't discussed much around here (except for folks talking about how much they suck), but I think this is an interesting story - the potential of William Weld staging a vanity campaign for the GOP 2020 nomination for president. His party affiliation has been pretty fluid, going back to his support of Barack Obama over John McCain in 2008 and most recently he was on the Libertarian ticket as Veep nominee in 2016. It'll be interesting to see if/how many primary votes he could peel away from President Trump - and if other "prominent" Republicans have the guts to defy the RNC and launch their own primary challenges. Heck, I'd probably caucus for him if our caucuses hadn't been neutered in favour of a beefier Minnesota primary. |
| 22.2.19 15:43 | |  | Facebook has GOT to do something about the rampant ticket scamming and fraud that inevitably pops up on EVERY concert event page I care to follow. Surely with all their AI they should be able to notice Nigerians and Kenyans (for example) changing their cover and profile photos to white senior citizens, changing their names to American sounding ones while their usernames DON'T change, then post requests for likes and DMs or PMs for their concert tickets which they suddenly unfortunately can't use (because 1. they don't exist and 2. they're thousands of miles from the arena) oh and if you see the word "kindly" in any of these statuses that's a GIANT RED FLAG. If Facebook CAN'T do it with AI, could they just pay me to run around and delete these losers? Any Facebook recruiters out there? ;-) |

| 22.2.19 04:49 | 
| . seriously needs to invest in some AI to detect ticket scammers and obliterate them - and/or pay me to troll them out of existence |

| 21.2.19 16:19 | | Since it had been four weeks since my interview, I followed up with (I can now tell you it was) Allianz Life this morning with an email asking if I was still under consideration for their KCS Analyst position. They called me back shortly after noon letting me know I wasn't the right fit. I'm kinda bummed! I also wonder if they couldn't have told me this way earlier. I think I knew this was coming, though...I'd already sent out two more cover letters and resumes to try again with US Bank and Medtronic. Also, I'd still like to try to talk to somebody at Oracle about one of their open reqs if you know happen to know anybody there OR know somebody who knows somebody? Better news soon! |

| 17.2.19 05:36 | |  | Wore a tie tonight and WAY more people seemed interested in me, including several identical compliments of "I like your style." Not sure if this will spur me to wear more or less ties during future appearances
(Also, for the life of me, I can't remember how I came by this tie, so if you gifted it to me, please feel free to slap and remind me - it appears to come from a museum gift shop, so I suspect my ex-wife or other Stitzels) |

| 15.2.19 03:07 | | Came home to a mouse trap full of not-quite-yet-dead mouse - the first time death wasn't instantaneous with this trap. Turns out those are WAY harder to dispose of than the fully dead kind, but I was very brave and managed to complete the task, earning one more drink. I really thought we were done with mice for the winter, especially with snow everywhere around the house...but that's why I keep the peanut butter fresh in that trap. Anyway, that was how MY St. Valentine's Day ended; I'm sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere but that's for future generations to study |

 | RADIO ALERT: I am filling in for Sean Hansen guest hosting Modern Kicks on KFAI TONIGHT from midnight to 2! There's a good chance I totally diverge from his format, but there's ALSO a good chance you'll hear me take you in some directions you haven't heard me take you on any other show! Depends what I have for lunch, probably... |

| 6.2.19 01:28 | |  | I'm too lazy for real food! I feel like this is repurposed "red velvet cake" stuf between very cinnamon-y "carrot" cookies. How they manage a completely non-dairy "creme cheese icing flavor" is just part of the magic. They were OK. |

| It's not that I'm afraid of ice; I'm just afraid of breaking both my ankles and my car |
| 3.2.19 04:54 | | Amazing night tonight. Multilayered - several levels. Simultaneously super deep while also not even scratching the surface. I know an awful lot of incredible people. Thanks! |
| 2.2.19 21:58 | |  | Reunited with my favourite lamp |

 | While I'm plugging stuff OH SHIT IT'S MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S BIRTHDAY and she's not on Facebook but if you enjoy vampires and the 1980s you should buy a copy of her trilogy (or get it for free on your Kindle? is that really a thing? OK) and try not to burn through all 600+ pages in one sitting

 |  | I guess I saw Wastrels twice in 2015 and then never again - but we'll fix that tonight! Come out to Kitty Cat Klub for the Wastrels LP Release w/ Witch Watch & Michael Todd Grey and also see Witch Watch and dance to big choonz from Michael Todd Grey! Otherwise, all you'll get is another poorly lit, crappy Instagram from me! (Now this one's pretty well lit but that's because it's at the Hexagon - I have a KCK one of them where you see MAYBE one face and expect similar results tonight)
Heck, I'm probably gonna wear shorts AND walk there. NOW HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY? (Five bucks. You'll need to pay five bucks cover.)
Doors open at 9PM! |
