The way Elton John pronounces "discard" has always puzzled me.

Scribbled on some Post-Its.

Gotta admit, I’m in a place of great ambivalence.

I found an interesting brick underfoot.

The big benefit of having bad posture and walking with your face looking at your feet all the time is you get to notice when the bricks underfoot have words on them, to help you learn about history.

I watched Fourth of July fireworks with a familiar mixture of shock and awe.

I was baffled by a lyric I heard on a record.

I was shocked to find the lyric really is "paper late, paper late". I just assumed I was hearing it wrong.

A little souvenir of a terrible year.

Here’s where the story ends.

I drew a cartoon about one of my obsessions.

I didn’t even hear this song, but it’s been insinuating itself into my mind all day and night.

I drew a cartoon based on the best song that isn’t “Don’t Fear The Reaper”.

I started drawing too big, so, sorry about the missing feet.

Things I Like: The Ant and The Aardvark

I'd forgotten how beautifully drawn this show was.

Things I like: Reggae covers.

Two things: I quite like reggae versions of hit songs, and the lyrics of "Let It Be" are pretty appropriate for reggae.

I got a fundraising text that made me mad, until I realized it wasn't a fundraising text.

I thought, "OMG, these Dem fundraisers are getting ridiculous!" but then...

Things I Like: Things We Love

I was sorting through my papers, my enitre life's correspondence, and found this terrific limited edition card I got from Aaron Draplin somehow.

I designed a poster for a Leonard Cohen tribute.

It was fun to do, but I don't know if Kinko's will even let someone print these, there's so much black.

This song was a big hit for reasons.

Reasons not having anything to do with the lyrics making grammatical sense.

You should have known by the tone of my voice, maybe, but you didn't listen.

You played dead, but you never bled.

Movie recommendation: Don’t Think I’ve Forgotten: Cambodia’s Lost Rock and Roll.

We just didn’t know anything about this music except that it rocked, undeniably. They could have been singing about mink coats or farm equipment.
