In the event that you’ve noted my blog posts being less frequent and more substandard, even by my standards, I wanted to let you know that my efforts of late have been focused elsewhere. Apparently my wife is brewing a child. I have been writing it letters. You were welcome to visit if you feel […]
I have no idea why this footage of a bear in a hammock made me so happy and I can’t guarantee the same results for you, but I think it’s worth a shot.

The short version of the story: People in Idaho see woman jump off a bridge, dive in canoe to try to save her, drag the body to the shore, and the deputy gives them tickets for not wearing lifejackets.

The Ratatat Show I’m Not Sure Any Asian Women Saw
Closed Published by eightparts September 29th, 2006 on Eight PartsIf only Madden Hastings had recognized the promise of drum and bass loops and the e-bow they might still be together. Instead, those pieces and much more have become Ratatat.
