FOD: Tonight
Flag of Democracy
What I’ve been needing since Sam left is a good hardcore or metal show. And tonight I’ll be seeing Flag of Democracy (above) along with the Freeze, from Boston.
The Freeze

Via TRex, we get a glimpse at the wingnut obsession with Hilary Clintoon, and take it from me folks, it’s nothing short of hilarious.
I didn’t take any time to watch the GOP debates (I don’t have cable anyway), but now I’m wishing I did.
I especially like the little old lady with the glassy eyes as [...]
“Oh Puh-leeze!” Department
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) – Small servings of food, such as small plates, tapas, mezze and bite-sized desserts, have become the hottest new trend in U.S. restaurants after years of big being best, according to a survey on Thursday.
A poll by the National Restaurant Association found that small is now big on restaurant menus, [...]
Moving Targets
Nothing Changes/Things Are Going By
Since Windows media player didn’t want to produce any sound from the cd, I did a youtube search and found this live gem from Boston’s Moving Targets, who got back together a few years ago.
It’s amazing to me: there are all these great bands from Boston that never went anywhere or [...]
It’s a Jeff.
It took me awhile, but I believe today’s strip is a Jeff (although the ink may have been done by Bil).
It’s the caption that gives it away. Bil Keane, a Philadelphia native, is a fairly devout man, but a sucker for an easy gag and, with the exception of the truly execrable and unfortunately [...]
The Worst People In the World
DARDENNE PRAIRIE, Mo., Nov. 21 — Megan Meier died believing that somewhere in this world lived a boy named Josh Evans who hated her. He was 16, owned a pet snake, and she thought he was the cutest boyfriend she ever had.
Six weeks after Megan’s death, her parents learned that Josh Evans never existed. He [...]

Sam’s been gone for three days now.
Sunday was a bear, as I wrote.
Monday was pretty freakin’ awful. I didn’t go to my therapy session, wasn’t sure if one was scheduled actually, but I really didn’t see the need for it. After all, therapy is supposed to be helping me deal with unresolved issues, [...]
Bil and Jeff, Again
I’m stumped as to whether this strip is a Bil or a Jeff. On the one hand, the perspective is so bizarre, so distorted, it could only be a Bil. On the other, the “word-bubble/caption” setup is more in line with Jeff’s work. And what to say about the interior, shaded half-assed with [...]

Just so y’all don’t think I’m going to off myself, here are some of the pictures that keep me going. And yes, I’ll feel better in another day or so. Go read my beer blog at Booman for more proof that I’m not a hop, skip, and jump away from catastrophe.
Great times with Sam [...]
Rocky
I don’t know if I’ve written about this before, but sometime after Sam’s mom took him away, I lost my ability to cope with the emotional climax of any given movie. “Monsters, Inc.” is a perfect example: I simply can’t deal with that scene where the cartoon monster voiced by John Goodman has to [...]
