Eat drink and be merry

What you seek, you shall never find.
For when the Gods made man,
They kept immortality for themselves.
Fill your belly.
Day and night make merry,
Let Days be full of joy.
Love the child that holds your hand.
Let your wife delight in your embrace.
For these alone are the concerns of man.
--The Epic of Gilgamesh

#1 Fan

I have approximately one loyal reader and therefore it is with great pleasure that I announce that I'm fulfilling his request to link to and expose a recently discovered site that promises to provide minutes of delight and joy to any child of the early 80s. I was a huge fan myself.

Also, my goal of seeing more live music in 2007 has yet to get off to a huge start, but listening to a ton of new stuff (Arcade Fire, reluctantly Hold Steady, old school Ryan Adams, Elvis Perkins, can't get enought My Morning Jacket live, some Jesse Sykes, The Fratellis, Brett Dennon, Deerhoof. Must be more proactive about going to see the shows. Am making a detour to San Francisco this weekend, and shall check out some Ghostland Observatory.

In any case, as Kermit would say, keep it green!

Not those Bears!

When I said Go Bears, I meant Cal, not Chicago. Chicago Bears Super Bowl Shuffle Video As such, I will not be rooting for the team of the Superbowl Shuffle. I will be throwing my substantial heft behind Mr. Manning and his Colts, like the rest of the oddsmakers. Sorry we won't see you there again Mr. Brady. The ladies still love ya. In the meantime, I'll be working doubletime to get me my Bravia before kick-off.

2007 = Step It Up!

I can't take credit for it (thanks Meghan and Stephanie), but I certainly intend to embrace it. The theme for 2007 is Step it Up! ... at work, with adventure, with your love life. It's the mantra for the year. The thing you chant under your breath before you ask your boss for a raise, and as you say 'f' it and call that guy to ask him out for a date after all. It's the impromptu vacation that you book, and the black tie ball you sign yourself up for. It's going to watch a movie by youself and buying a piece of artwork. It's decisiveness and chutzpah. And I love it.

Go Bears!

As Cal is my only hope for tasting Bowl victory this season, I will be wholeheartedly cheering on da Bears from some den of iniquity. Not much more to add here, other than my virtual cheering, but can we all sit back and admire the quads of the Cal rugby team while we're at it? I mean, really... could they be any bigger?

JT in da hiz-ouse

the anticipation is rampant... 5 weeks and counting. JT at MSG. The girls are gone crazy.

2006 in Pictures

So, finally, with the help of a card reader, figured I'd start sharing some of my photos from this past year. A few I've opened up to the world... check them out here at AOL Public Galleries (only 300 or so of the 570 some odd are mine).
