My Hibiscus is on its way out. I just got this hibiscus a couple weeks ago as a gift from a cousin whose going on a soul searching quest around the world. When I got it I noticed it was producing a bud that had all the promise of a spring delivery. I put my …

David Cooperfield has made my morning. A powerpoint of illusion. This guys unstoppable. If you own a copy of powerpoint, you should “option click” on this powerpoint link, download it, and give it a whirl. Amazing.
Oh my, the soundtrack of Memory Lane. Felix Havoc has a very comprehensive discography of Twin Cities punk releases over the years. Featuring the seven inches of the original (new originals) Bloodhound Gang. (Thanks Jon!) Can anyone find me copies of the first (only) Downside 7″?
Oliver is the cat in charge over here. He’s resting his eyes from watching too much Kitty Cable.
I watched the movie Yojimbo the other night. What a fantastic movie. It’s an Akira Kirosawa film circa 1961. Beautifully crafted, and very minimal.

It’s 6 in the morning and I have a bloody nose, so what better time to write about going to the Science Museum of Minnesota last weekend. My main motivation for finally making it down to the relocated and redecorated science museum was the screening of the OMNI movie Shakleton’s Arctic Adventure. Having read both …
Ok. I got to say it. “The Osbourns” is some of the best damn T.V. ever. I think I watched the first episode 3 times over the weekend, mostly the result of a brilliant snow storm which was as good a reason as any to hunker down and hibernate with Ozzy and his clan. Even …
