There’s a game on Facebook called PackRat. It’s like playing Mah Jong but the tiles are icons hidden around that you can also buy are steal from your friends. I’ve never played it. It’s appears to be quite popular.
Today a friend informed me that I’m part of a themed icon set for SXSW. There [...]

I’ve had a friend that for years has been painting portraits I rather coveted. One day she finally said she was going to start selling them. Molly’s birthday was coming up so I immediately requested her versions of Billie Holiday and Holly Golightly.
Today I went to a show of her’s at the Sometime Gallery and [...]

A couple weeks ago I blogged how the internet meme Chocolate Rain had jumped the virtual fire line. Gavin pointed out that it wasn’t the first line it had jumped.

I went to the Daft Punk show last Friday at The Greek thanks to Fauxnique and Silence Fiction.
It was off the fracking chizzain!
Daft Punk’s live show is *fierce* and well worth the wait. This guy Max said it was mind blowing
The videos on YouTube are low-res and aurally demanding, but give it a second and [...]

Eddie saved me from a needless night on the couch, a couple week ago.
