The New Year

smoker

Lots’ going on in the New Year here at Ninja and over at Shipwreck Honey which is now (FINALLY) Shipwreck Honey LLC doing business as Shipwreck Apiaries. Its kind of a big deal, this time last year beekeeping was just a burning question in my feral mind, I didnt even own a beehive yet; now [...]

Chairlift quotes:

Nick Porter on what it means to drop anchor in the upper motorhome lot of Stevens Pass Ski Resort: Daniel its not bad at all, if you dont mind a couple bulls like us running around your china shop. Season has begun! We rode mostly grooms all weekend and true to form, Tye Mill (frontside) [...]

Pulling Anchor

Its Friday by the time your reading this, which I am writing Thursday night, Ive got the old blog on auto-pilot for the weekend. Its been a long time coming, paid for in blood, but Ive left the city by now and boarded my beloved Pirate Ship, setting sail for the High Country on this, [...]

Morning Wood:

rodeo

What I’m listening to today, what was in my head this morning when I woke up. Well, that and….Hulk Hogan. Eating pizza at midnight while watching the Hulk dissect his demise leads to weird dreams, and then you wake up to the tune linked below. Makes you wonder just what in hell your day is [...]

Ahoy scum!

blackbeardcostume_small

Normally, news pithy as this wouldnt see light of day @ Ninja BUT: See who’s playing role of Blackbeard? oh yes…..what better role could be cast for Ian McShane after such lofty heights as the great Al Swearengen. There is no better role, Blackbeard is the scurviest dog of all time and McShane will do [...]

Broadcast End for Sunday

murder5

Listen to The National. Really. Do it. From the open mic event today @ Whitechapel. Nothing special, Im just being lazy and blockquoting everything so I dont have to tell you the same thing twice. Its pissing down proper here in Seattle Wa, anarchy from the skies always sets this town ablaze, be it snow/sun/rain. [...]

WikiLeaks Doc

wikileaks

For what its worth, here is an excellent piece you need to watch. It irritated me this week when I was able to easily find 5 people who hadnt even heard of WikiLeaks. Interesting in the first video @ 7.20, I suppose there is my answer.

Early Man

dawn

Waking up with music in your head. I get up every day @4:30 and 6am on weekends. Anything past that and I feel guilty. Early/before the Sun is my favorite time of day, hands down. Sometimes Im damn giddy in the morning I get so excited. Often I awake with music in my head, like [...]

Heavy rains in the Mountains this weekend, cover the firewood and bring your slickers, boys. I make my wine soaked appearance on or around the 20th. I heard that Katina and her hulking Sea Captain boyfriend stormed Secret Stash last week, above both Lots! Then I heard in the same breath how much it sucked. [...]

Hi: Been a pleasant evening. Ive had a bottle of Clos Du Bois, I made an Irish dinner and dragged my friend over to help me since as usual I made way more than I can handle, only to find out her man has been being quite the douche lately. Whats with the planet these [...]

Sunday night. Been a good weekend, tons of work but the moments in between all that have been effortlessly fun. Met up with a stalwart friend last night and did some good old fashioned Irish-style drinkin, coming this close to solving the vast mysterys that make up life, love and everything else in between. I [...]

Vitamin V(odka)

I woke up this morning early, my October standard of 4 hours sleep attained but Im a little irritable thats still all Im getting/needing. November is here, Im stunned about that. Ive been kicking around an idea, an old idea that usually shows up this time of year, albeit obtusely: quit drinking til ski season. [...]

Sunday begins

makin-honey

Sunday morning: the rain and wind whips the trees, riles Puget Sound. Ive had my coffee, said goodbye to my barista on her final day who was cool enough to actually say she was leaving for another gig downtown in her field, mental health evaluator I think she said…and I took my morning walk, the [...]

I wiki’ed ultra leather and I wish I hadn’t of. Another term for ultraleather is….(ohgodwhyme!?) vegan leather. Yep thats right, I have vegan leather in my motorhome now. I may just blow my brains out.If anyone catches the irritating waft of that bush-hippie crap incense coming from Murder One this winter, open fire on the [...]

Skullcandy (and snow?)

scurvey

Blow your Tuesday morning wide open with this clever Foster the People remix. No escaping the beeps, bumps and whistles on this one. The Miike Snow remix has been burning up my skullcandies all week, I mean BURNING UP. Use your headphones on both of these, theres hidden loops and clicks everywhere. Im back to [...]

An unexpected sidebar to the AK trip has been discovered, something so obvious that I am surprised it didnt occur to me long before the plane ever touched down. As I am spending the week compiling field notes from multiple Moleskines and organizing various footage I am realizing a vast wealth of stories taking shape. [...]

Great White North

Its Saturday morning, sometime around 4. Across the room, next to an empty beehive sits a backpack with 4 changes of clothes, one tripod and camera, 3 new moleskines and 4 new fine point sharpies. Last night I bought two more copies of Denis Learys’ book to give away, I love giving away books…..you should [...]
