"Top" or "Favorite" lists are a tricky endeavor to begin with, as they're totally and absolutely - almost by definition - subjective. In fact, they change and shift with the maker's whims and habits, which means that the entries can change almost totally at random. It doesn't matter if you're making...
如果教育部的國語辭典給我來編，那本人定會設法在「得了便宜又賣乖」這個條目之下，塞進「壹周刊」三個字。 上個月的某一期壹周刊，訪問了一位自稱政大學生的援交妹「小愛」，披露她諸多秘事之後，再用訓導主任般教忠教孝的語氣數落她敗德淪喪。這樣的操作手法，壹周刊已經反覆運用不下百次，多數讀者想必也見怪不怪了；然而，我卻始終不習慣，也無法不生氣。 在妓權落後的國家，自然就會存在著踐踏性工作者尊嚴的媒體，這沒有什麼好「寒扣」的；只是，在大剌剌消費性工作者以生產閱聽商品的同時，卻又把砲口朝向這些替自家媒體生財的受訪人士口誅筆伐，不正是得了便宜又賣乖嗎？同樣是辦報辦雜誌，為什麼壹傳媒這一掛格外囂張？ 網路上已經有...
For weeks, K. has been asking me to check if they already sell Emma Leppermann plums at the market. These are his favourites, and also some of the best-loved plums in Estonia - juicy, flavoursome, sweet & tangy, large and pretty, round and yellow-pink (see picture here). (The cultivar was developed...
The Summer of '92 hit me like a tsunami. I had just returned to Miami from San Diego, where I'd seen the woman who would become my wife for the first time in four years. Miami was as muggy as ever, and the grunge scene was tearing idle teenage minds apart faster than a pirhana in a bowl of...
Where did you meet? Charles and I met at a youth group meeting. It was called "Loft", simply because it was held in a loft in an old tractor garage. I had originally gone to meet with Charles' friend Craig, whom I'd been writing letters to for a few months. It was when I saw Charles that my focus...
First some cool news – this blog is now included on the cool site “Food Porn Watch”. Nice! This past weekend, a large food fair (culinary show, whatever..) was held in Stockholm. It’s an annual affair, and it caters mostly to ordinary people rather than chefs or people in the business....
So a new friend found me, and I "borrowed" this meme/quizzie from her. Go say hi to Green Tea Girl, she actually agreed we me on Indy! Imagine that! IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? So, here's how it works: 1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, CD Player,...
With Halloween just a fortnight behind us, there may still be an odd wedge of pumpkin in your fridge. I made a pumpkin risotto recently, and had had a lone half of a orange-fleshed pumpkin waiting in the fridge ever since then. I thought of re-making Johanna's roasted pumpkin and blue cheese quiche...
Scene: I am driving home from class tonight, listening to August and Everything After and swaying to "Raining in Baltimore" and I think to myself, 'I wonder where Counting Crows rank on that Entertainment Weekly New Classics list that came out last Friday?' They don't. Here is the list. Overall, I...
It's finals week and I'm almost done with everything. I have absolutely no desire to finish anything though. I want this quarter to be over in the worst way. I've been really depressed and almost in a daze since Friday after portfolio review. I have no real reason to feel this way and it's bothering...
If you can't make it down to Tennessee this weekend for the Bonnaroo Festival, AT&T's Blue Room has got you covered, continuing their excellent string of webcasts for major American music festivals by providing coverage of the festival all weekend. Beginning today, you can catch fantastic sets from...
Kanye Booed at Bonnaroo 06/16/2008 5:00 AM, E! Online Josh Grossberg The Bonnaroo boobirds were out in full force for Kanye West this weekend. The Grammy winner walked onto the festival stage nearly two hours past his scheduled 2:45 a.m. performance time Sunday morning and was greated by bleary-eyed...
Ha! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Oh god... ha! AAAAAhahahahahah!!! Ok... ok. I think I can control myself now. I can. Whoooo. Ok. #1, who the fuck invited Kanye fucking West to fucking Bonnaroo? Seriously! Its ridiculous to think that the kinda people who like Metallica (another wtf moment on...
Rapper Kanye West was jeered by angry fans when he appeared on stage at a music festival in Tennessee. According to the BBC the singer was an hour-and-a-half late for his performance, promoting fans to chant "Kanye sucks" and throw items, including glow sticks at the empty stage. Festival spokesman...
If you had to go on a two-week vacation with any celebrity, who would you pick as your traveling companion and where would you go? I'd like to go on Vacation with Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam. I would either tag along with them on tour for two-weeks or Eddie and I could go surfing. He'd have to teach...
This song basically epitomizes everything I love about Ben Folds Five. I'd love to upload it for you, but I can't seem to locate the CD that has it--to the best of my knowledge, it was only released on a CD called No Boundaries: A Benefit for the Kosovar Refugees. I bought the CD for Pearl Jam's...
Entertainment Weekly recently did a special 1,000th issue. In it, they picked the 100 New classics in Film, Televison and Music. More than one blogger went through the various lists and added their two cents. This is something I wanted to do, so I was inspired by Johnny Bacardi, who in turn was...

Guitar...
Kanye West ... Why don't you go fuck yourself? Recently Kanye west performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. Pearl Jam played longer than scheduled and a week later, Mr. West decides that posting about it on his blog would be the most professional manner to handle it. Apparently, the crowd was...
