Bad Milk(?)

The party has ended, the fat lady sang. It was weird spending 2 days on frivolity and another on recovery which allowed me to make it out of the house later that night just in time for the next and final gathering of friends who have done so now for many years to celebrate mine [...]

Good Morning, from last night

This is #299 in a series of 305 that were shot at last night’s graduation ceremonies for the Garfield High School Class of 2k11. My second graduation attendance this week alone, it was fantastic; more on that later. Now: the Needle.

New look

tired of all the hodge-podge and click-throughs, lets water it all down and let it soak like this for a few weeks. The idea is simple: no more pages, no more buttons everywhere and a clean crisp appearance. Its tidy and I like it. I threatened to do this months ago but got so busy [...]

Barnburner

009

No more scoffing at these startups who announce “website coming soon!!” and then weeks later still have nothing to show. That being said I would add this: Shipwreck Honey website coming soon!!! No really!!! I mean it this time!! *sigh. Actually it is finished, the code is wrapped up, the colors are right, theres a [...]

A jubilant day

slide_22653_272411_large

Last nights’ BBQ came to screeching halt when someone in our group read about this on Facebook, everyone piled into the house and sat on the edge of thier seats until Obama came out and delivered the news officially, when toasts and huzzahs abounded. All day long I’d been chuckling at the Correspondents Dinner and [...]

Bee Week 2011

5644888135_8fe46e9385

Robin Pecknold – 3 new songs by music–lounge Ive a fire built, im listening to local boy Robin Pecknold and im nursing not just a cocktail but also numerous bee stings. Bee Week has come and while not yet gone, Ive decided its been a major success. There really isnt much that can properly explain [...]

the waiting game

sleepy-grizzly-bear_22670_990x742

Everything is deathly silent all the sudden, like the eye of a hurricane, very deceptive. Patience is not my forte’, waiting is a learned skill and doesnt suit my disposition. A candid self with appropriate soundtrack: tired and quiet on all levels. Feel like hiding out in Alaska again actually, if anything for sleep. Dawn [...]

Son of a B(EE)!!

makin-honey

the great thing about a private blog like this is making it your digital Moleskine. Idea-Bank: Branding for specific strains/labels: “Henry Pollens” “SonuvaBee!” “Honeydew (list)” “Beelite” and probably the worst, if you know your lore: “Chainlocker” in honor of the old Salt whose land I so gently use. And now you know more than you [...]

Bees and things

Spent an odd weekend down here in the City, Ski season is being dragged by the ear, kicking and screaming to out back of the barn to be shot in the head and never heard from again. Its a travesty, Ive gotten a good amount of days in for the season….something like 38 nights and [...]

Ahoy

heavyseas

Its been busy, damn busy around these parts. I dont know how to hit the brakes, I dont know that i even want too. Ski Season begins its final countdown with the Ides of March looming; it puts alot of us in the final drive to get as much as we can in before its [...]

Night Music

trees at dawn

I scraped this tune off the wall @ Internet Jesus’ place and thought I’d autopost it for sometime this weekend. It reminds me of the late night expirations, both ember and ice for the past two weeks as I drowsily stumble off to bed leaving the murmuringĀ coals of the once crackling fire to thier own [...]

New Trouble Gang

bangbang!

New Trouble Andrew dropped two days ago and I missed it, old man styles, I must be slippin’. I listen to music when I night-ride and its always heavy on the Trouble Andrew rotation. Maybe its b/c he rides for Analog, maybe it isnt but pound for pound, nobody kills it in the studio more [...]

Moving up

arcticbench

after almost 7 years in the same spider-hole, it is time for a change of scenery. Last Friday I struck an accord with the Shall Remain Anonymous Rental Agency where I agreed to pay them alot more money for alot more stuff. Stuff like a fireplace, slate and hardwood flooring, brand new kitchen, windows, bathrooms [...]

Looking around online over the years at other local [...]

Analog updates

Ive lost track of time again, its been a busy week and the schedule doesn’t promise to lighten up til the middle of the month. Thats okay though, Ive got some big stuff in the forges that makes it worth the stretch (timewise). More on these secret projects later in the month. Ive crafted an [...]

Saturday music

05

Mike Ness needs no introduction, least of all from me. Cheating at Solitaire has long been one of my favorite albums. This morning when I woke up, for whatever reason…..it was in my head.

Addicted

Keeping Bees

honey-bee

This should be crossposted from Shipwreck Honey but I dont have the time. Im busy working in a moleskine, listening to The National, eating macaroons that Ive quarted into nice little triangles, complementing those with lemonade and vodka. Sounds like Summer around here, but its still deep Winter isnt it? I spent my Tuesday in [...]
