we made it back from our honeymoon.

It was only a year ago.

We've since done 479 shows.
We slept 7 hours.
For the year.

And I took a little personal blogging break.
/break.

We have returned

5 hours.

It is a beautiful day.

It's a nice day for a white sage and ivory wedding.

This is easily my favorite show.

The Outside!

We were totally outside. In a Kayak!
No pallor was harmed in the making of these photos.
Except the pallor of my legs and arms, because I forgot they had skin on them and did not protect them.

Megan Kayaks!

  • My mother is just a spectacular human being.

  • It's easy to give into fear. Which is why the heroes never do. Obstinate pricks.

  • I'm tired in my brain and in my bones.

  • I've never been as smart as I thought I was. Now I'm not even as smart as I actually was.

  • I want to eliminate sleep entirely from my life.

Sorry I'm not home right now...

I am a softie.

This is not open to debate... I just am.

This is just wonderful:



Nina Katchadourian is creating a series called Uninvited Collaborations.

These are od course uninvited colloaborations with nature.

The spiders, even in apparently abandoned webs, would cut her patches out of the web...

But please go click around her site... it's just... great.

[info]coryphella discovered the duo Dala while listening to this weeks Stuart McClain podcast and well...
They're GREAT.
If you like vocal harmonies.
Nieldsie sorta folk on the pop edge.
That sorta thing.



And a sampler platter of Dala led off by a slobberknocking cover of Neil Young's Ohio

Wedding Claus is coming to town!

Look. I'm not TRYING to become simply a blog about bacon. But this here is my personal unthemed blog. And the fact of the matter is: I love bacon.

So when [info]toddalcott pops out a bacon post... I'm going to follow suit

Bacon Chocolate bar.

Mo's Bacon Bar: applewood smoked bacon + Alder wood smoked salt + deep milk chocolate, 41% cacao

Now you know what to put in my wedding stocking.

I wonder

Is there any mood so bad that your Mom singing happy birthday into your voice mail cannot cure it?

I mean, I wasn't in a bad mood, but it's just the absolute sweetest thing...

Don't order the Rib King Platter at the County Line unless you mean it.
There are no lies in that dish name.

Ribs. Check.
Very little in the way of sides to mess with the meat.

King. Check
As in you'd best be sitting at the head of the table when they bring out the:

Platter.
Really Really Big.

I am still full...
I only ate half.

And Octopus Cupcake!
[info]coryphella says it was a crab because it had only 6 legs.
I say it was an artists' interpretation of how much blue octopus can fit on a cupcake.

And Liz made me cupcakes!
And Manuel got me two new drafts of a play that opens in three weeks!

As an open aside to the Wedding Industrial Complex in the mode of John Dodds and Adam Thurman:
Sell to the customer in front of you not the last ten customers.
I worked at WalMart. I understand that it's easier to talk to the template customer. But you? YOU are not talking to the WalMart 3.59 for the good RF Connector customer.

I am getting a package of tuxes for my wedding.
Little keyword bingo for you there.

It's 2008. A groom may have an idea of what's going on with the wedding. Further? Listen to him. He may even really know what's going on with his brides' dress.

While looking for a good picture of my wedding band to gloat over... I discovered this Etsy shop full of affordable shiny.
shop Tennesee!

This is my wedding band:

Tungsten with a birch inlay.
The picture doesn't do it justice.

in just 7 short weeks I get to keep it :)

    The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

    2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
    The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

    3. www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/

So Travis given that you don't seem to sleep at all, why is it that you cannot seem to post any sort of personal content on this damn thing?

First? watch your language.
Second?

Um. Cuz?
Mostly. Nothing personal is going on. I mean we're getting ready for the wedding but that's not really a story. Right? I mean that's just laundry lists of things that I'm mostly not handling.

The new show carries on apace. I am mostly not good yet. I mostly will be by the time we get there.

And I read a lot of feeds.

I ask questions like how in the world are any memetrackers (Like Readburner) supposed to be worth a damn if only early adopters ever use them? I can't get any sort of meme trackage for the theatre blogosphere because there's not enough volume to drown out even the cell phone kids never mind all media and tech.

And I watch Annie Hall quite a bit.

I belive this is my first non-Marissa Slashfood crosspost... but I really had to...


Make a dozen mini doughnuts in 50 seconds

Filed under:

Doughnut Machine
The only thing keeping me from buying the Dough-Nu- Matic this very second is concern about storage space for another large kitchen appliance that would only get used a few times. Oh - and the $129.99 price tag.

The Dough-Nu- Matic is straight out of the Jetsons. According to the advertisement on Sky Mall, "The Dough-Nu-Matic automatically forms, fries and drains delectable mini-doughnuts in just 50 seconds!" It would be so fun to have piping hot doughnuts as toppers for my cupcakes. Why not put a doughnut on top of a cupcake? Everyone needs that extra fat!

What about hot mini-doughnuts as a quick and un-nutritious after-school snack?

Does anyone else want this product? Does anyone already own the Dough-Nu-Matic? I'd love to hear how well it works and what kinds of doughnuts you've made.

I love Joe Posnanski.
I can too talk about my feelings.
Why do I love him?


Velleity: Describes a mild desire, a wish or urge too slight to lead to action.
So. for instance, if you’re in bed at 11 p.m., like I was last night, and you’re KIND OF hungry, you KIND OF want to go downstairs and maybe pour yourself a bowl of Cocoa Puffs or something, but you don’t … that’s a velleity. Or if you hear that Royals manager Trey Hillman KIND of wants to have Ross Gload hit in the No. 3 spot, you hope that’s a velleity.</p>

Saul Williams gets to eat for the year!



Saul Williams!
On TeeVee!
For Nike!


I ain't afraid of you.
I'm just a victim of your fears.
You cower in your tower
praying that I'll disappear,
I got another plan,
one that requires me to stand.
On the stage
or in the street,
don't need no microphone or beat.
And when you hear this song,
if you ain't dead then sing along.

Bang and strum
to these here drums

til you get where you belong.


There's no selling out. As long as you are making the art you NEED to make there's only eating and not eating.




Today at Chick-Fil-A Smiley McGrins-a-lot who served me noted that "you are always happy!"
which means I'm in some nether universe where someone from the Happiest Restaurant on Earth has positive things to say about my mood.
