  • I've finally made it to a festival

    Number of comments: 2
    I don't like walking around with a camera. It makes me feel I can't really experience things if I'm too concerned about documenting them. But I do like taking photos. Which means I end up with photos from the broken cell phone. Still, it's something. It's proof that I was [...]

  • New MD Blogger Alliance Carnival

    Number of comments: 0
    Just a quick one to link to the new Carnival. A lot of politics, especially about Republican Wayne Gilchrest's endorsement of Democrat Frank Kratovil. Republicans see that as an opportunistic move coming from a spineless hypocrite. Democrats see it as a sign of the collapse [...]

  • Giant's New Look

    Number of comments: 0

    I don't grow my own vegetables, nor my own microwavable fries, which means I have to go to the grocery store every once in a while. But even though Giant is so close, I've been avoiding it for a while. Specifically, since they stopped carrying [...]

  • 6-year-old

    Number of comments: 0

    A 6-year-old got shot. Caught in the crossfire, they say. On WBAL they interview another kid, can't be older than ten, maybe twelve, talking about shootings as if they were a way of life, as if it's normal.

    And again we have to think [...]

  • I knew there was something fishy about Phelps

    Number of comments: 2
    Went Down-the-Ocean for a few days. Everyone's talking Phelps. You just can't get people to stop talking about this guy. Phelps this. Phelps that. And everyone makes a point of telling the Ocean City temp-workers that Phelps lives just next door to them. Seriously, if he wins number eight tonight [...]

  • Otakon and Detroit

    Number of comments: 2
    It's too easy to make fun of the Otakon masked avengers. They're here. They dress up. They leave. We're back to the insanity we know. Not much to it, really. I can't write about it too much anyway because I'm too scared to infiltrate this crowd and when I went [...]

  • Us and them

    Number of comments: 2
    In high-school, whenever I saw the principal, I noticed she looked at me in a funny way, like she knew I was about to do something bad. I wasn't. I was on my way to class and she'd look at me like she thought I was [...]

  • A few notes about Artscape

    Number of comments: 0
    • What if I like beer and I don't like Coors? What if I can stand Coors but am unwilling to drink it because its owners are notorious dicks who are responsible for the Heritage Foundation and the PMRC (Parents Music Resource Center) that put black labels on punk and [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    What have we had here recently?

    • Did you know the City Paper may harm your computer?
    • Orioles lose again on a Sunday. It's a good marketing technique. You really want to be there the Sunday they finally win.
    • Roberta Flack is coming to Artscape. She's playing [...]

    Number of comments: 2

    About a month ago, yet another study came out to proclaim lead as the guilty party. It's not poverty or lack of opportunities or anything that might implicate all of us with our apathy toward the areas we dare not enter in the city. [...]

    Number of comments: 4


    What ever happened to the Sun? Why don't enough people buy it?

    In the past, many blamed it for being an O'Malley paper with one objective: to destroy Ehrlich and get O'Malley into the mansion. Now that O'Malley is the Governor and the [...]

    What is Comcast hiding? Why is it that every time I see Pat Boone's face, Comcast suddenly cuts to local commercials just after the man introduces himself? What's going on here? What am I missing, Pat? Is someone stuck in a well?

    Just to make things clear, I was simply away for a couple of weeks. I know nothing about the skeletons in Dixon's closet or those in her sister's house. Never met her spokesman, although by a couple of degrees of separation, I probably know [...]

    Baltimore Pride
    Of course, as I predicted, pride is coming back to Baltimore. We've lost it a bit after Cal Ripken Jr. retired and after that whole "Murder Capital of America," but now that Jenna Bush is here, the Baltimore Renaissance is upon us.

    So I've already missed Sowebo. That's okay. There will be plenty more opportunities for bad Lo Mein and John Waters sightings. Have a good summer, Baltimore.

    Willie Parker
    81-year-old Willie Parker has been transferred to Baltimore. We've got him! Don't you feel safer already? Just a little bit? They came to his house in North Carolina in February,

    Three U.S. marshals showed up Wednesday at Peterson's home, and Parker left [...]

    Number of comments: 0
    As much as I appreciate Baltimore being in the national news for anything other than weird murders and gossip about war criminals' daughters, I find it hard to stomach this insane remnant of ancient times (only now, instead of warriors fighting lions we have midgets beating up horses).
