Week 66: The Ballad of Stayed and Gone 7

Part of me resists writing these posts, these posts about our recording project. These posts about music most of you probably won’t care to hear in its finished form, much less in the incomplete and imperfect form found in these posts. Part of me wants to wait until everything is done so I can [...]

Tidbits

If back in the early mid nineties (when the majority of nap contributors could cast shadows upon one another down in H-town) you had told me that I would be spending years of my life in almost daily contact with this motley crew I would have asked you for a tab of whatever you [...]

I Did It

I did it. I’m not sure if I am the first, or the only, but it’s definitely my very first time, this previous week, to post a blog that garnered not a single comment. I’m way too fucking lazy to go back and find out for sure. One thing I have done this past [...]

sawdust

Am in the midst of a home improvement project right now, building a platform for my bed and some built-in shelves for a niche in my living room. My apartment has turned into a temporary woodshop, complete with drill, hammer, sander, dowels, screws, glue, clamps, wood putty, paint, brushes, ¾” birch [...]

Napcast 53

So, it’s still uploading but should be coming your way with no issue is just a few.Now, I am going to bed. I am so tired of not being able to breathe through one nostril. Who knew this would be so bothersome? Me, that’s who. And man, I am [...]

fragments in search of a post

This week has been very fragmentary. I started it in Wellington hanging out with a friend, seeing local sights, catching up on movies both in the theatre (BEOWULF 3-D, CLOVERFIELD with its soundtrack that sounds half-pilfered from my record collection – Spoon, Kings of Leon, Ratatat – at least until the monster shows up, [...]

Sunny

Here in Houston it’s been rainy, cold and cloudy – and not the good kind either. No, the weather has been the oppressive, depressing, and bleak kind. Finally, this morning the clouds broke and out came the sun as if God had said “I am tired of this crap too!” So we were treated [...]

Not

I’m pretty good at not doing things. Not spending a bunch of money out with the gang? Check. Not remembering to eat? Check. Not keeping in touch with old friends (or new ones, for that matter) check. This “not” thing is one of my true talents; possibly my only talent. I can not do [...]

Locatelli

Work the last couple of weeks involved hours of jigsaw puzzle like software development. This left my ears dangling free and feeling useless so I gave them something to do; stuck some cans on them, and absorbed what I could of a constant musical stream. It’s been a while since the j-o-b left [...]
