(January 29, 2014)New Menu Fad Detected
(January 28, 2014)Here in Utah, I have detected a new menu fad. I think. At least I can’t recall seeing this before anywhere: So basically, they’re warning us that undercooked meat is dangerous. (And please no personal checks). Ok… But I’m at a restaurant. I don’t want them to undercook my meat. But there’s an asterisk. And … Continue reading New Menu Fad Detected
Snowed Out In Vail!
(January 28, 2014)Driving from Moab to Denver, it started snowing just past Vail. Going up a mountain pass. When renting the car, I asked whether it had winter tires. He said “Sure! All-year radials!” That apparently is rental car guy speak for “no”, and our car had like no traction and we stalled. So: We were towed … Continue reading Snowed Out In Vail!

Sundance
(January 24, 2014)Sundance turned out to be really nice. Well organised, friendly, good movies. Oh, and Blind is fantastic. It’s really funny and smart and interesting, and all those kinds of good things. Nine thumbs up.
Last of the Mohicans, or: Diminishing Returns
(January 14, 2014)I bought a lot of stuff from the PictureBox sale. I kind of thought that I had most of their stuff already, but I ended up with like eight kilos of excellent comics. Then there’s Last of the Mohicans by Shigeru Sugiura, edited by Ryan Holmberg. As always, I just skipped past the introduction and … Continue reading Last of the Mohicans, or: Diminishing Returns

IT”S ALIVE!!1!ONE?!
(January 6, 2014)As I’m sure you all remember, in the last terrifying chapter of this story, I found that the white fluff had spread to another room. During the Xmas holidays, I visited my mother. She’s brilliant with all kinds of plants and stuff, so I showed her the pictures of the aloe armageddon. She said: “Are … Continue reading IT”S ALIVE!!1!ONE?!
Blind at Sundance
(January 6, 2014)The movie that was partially shot in my apartment is being shown at Sundance! By coincidence, I’m “vacationing” in San Francisco (i.e., implementing new Gnus stuff) around that time, so I’ll try to get a ticket to one of the screenings. I’ve never been to Utah before, I think. Better pack warmer clothes.
Books
(January 5, 2014)I rather like reading books, but I have this absurd sense of accomplishment whenever I finish something. Anything. “Wow, I managed to finish eating that hamburger! USA! USA!” Finishing something you like doing isn’t really something to brag about, but that’s the way I feel. So a couple of years ago I started putting books … Continue reading Books
Funniest Comic Book of 2013
(January 4, 2014)The funniest comic book of 2013 must be Lisa Hanawalt’s My Dirty Dumb Eyes. It covers all of life, like movies: Fashion: Movie reviews. She points of that the sign language in the latest Planet Of The Apes looks oddly obscene: Actually, this is a test post to see how WordPress works. I’ve moved … Continue reading Funniest Comic Book of 2013
