Listening to Andrew W. K.

Jeremiah Had a Bullfrog played seven times in succession at a diner.

Shopping carts (plural!) on the subway.

Wait, A W.K. did that Jackass Music Video.

Cy, got a Cd for me to copy?

Pulpfiction gets released today. I'm excited.

I just finished Atwood's Oryx and Crake. I'm getting a overall vibe of American Psychoesque pornography (in the literary, hit the emotional buttons, Titaniclike sense) crossed with the horror of 28 Days.

I passed a cockroach walking on the sidewalk today.

I wonder if she had also just gotten off of the train.

The dirty bomb: Fafblog is here to save you!



Edward Underscore from Obsidian Wings points out growin concern of a dirty bomb attack in the US or Europe and is gathering tips from around the blogosphere on how to survive a dirty bomb. This is very important and serious an it is time that we here at Fafblog address this critically critical issue for you our Fafblog readers. What should you do if there is a dirty bomb?



  • If you meet the dirty bomb in a social setting always greet it with a firm but polite handshake and a warm smile. Say "how do you do." Suitable topics of conversation may include theater, the weather, compliments (but not lewd compliments) for the appearance of the dirty bomb or the dirty bomb's wife, politics if appropriate an sensible. If you have committed a faux pas with the dirty bomb say "oh I am most certainly sorry dirty bomb I did not mean to offend" and offer to refresh the dirty bomb's drink. It is best to avoid religion an baseball with the dirty bomb.


  • If the dirty bomb begins to growl or if its ears are pressed flat against its head this may be a sign of aggression. Back away slowly from the dirty bomb. Do not make quick moves which could make it nervous. Do not show fear. When you are at a safe enough distance contact dirty bomb authorities who will be able to control and detain it.


  • If you are approached by a dirty bomb in a car do not get in even if it knows your name or offers you presents. Do not let the dirty bomb touch you! Stay with adults or Homeland Security officials at all times until the dirty bomb has left the scene. Tell a police officer immediately about what has happened.

    Val Bec & I travelled the Tribeca Film Festival Street Fair on Saturday. It was disappointingly Family rated. We got these cute little green pass like things to put on our necks for free - which also had the unexpected benefit of making us the point people to ask for information at any store we happened to be at. (Prompting the unintentionally funny retort from Bec at an unsuspecting customer at Pearl Paint, "Why don't you ask somebody who works here?")

    On the plus side, we did find a chocolate leg.
