The Adventures of Ryanhood and Sophie’s Choice

Today you get rewarded with tales of not just music and friends but an idiot story; it must be sweeps week. Last night I headed out to the wilds of Teaneck NJ to see Ryanhood and Sophie Buskin at Ethical Brew. It’s not that difficult to get to, two subways and a bus that drops […]

I’m Prince Myshkin

Here’s the lede. I’m an idiot. This is not an idiot story. It’s the reason I often call myself an idiot; it’s because I want to make clear to people, and especially myself, that I recognize my mental glitches. I find it annoying when people make a mistake and instead of being embarrassed about it, […]

For Once I’m Not the Idiot

I seriously considered not writing today but then I thought about My Gentle Readers and decided that I can’t disappoint you. I have an idiot story, I’m just not sure who the idiot is. I just double checked. I am not the idiot. It was somebody at the New York Times. I read this article, […]

Music Needs to Follow Orders

The reason I didn’t blog yesterday is that I’m an idiot. I had Word open and was about to write when I got a text from Bri, asking me about parking at Allison’s house. That’s when I realized it was Thursday and I was supposed to be boarding a bus to New Jersey at that […]

Once Upon A Time in My Brain

I scared myself, I forgot what I did yesterday. Now I remember so I can blog. I went to see Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. By coincidence the night before I watched his Inglourious Basterds; I had a Tarantino double feature. When you watch a Tarantino film you know you are going […]

The Only Sacred Ground That I Have Ever Known

At the rate I’m going it’s going to take me as long to write about Falcon Ridge as I spent there. Perhaps today I won’t spend so much time gushing and just cover what happened and will be able to cover more ground. Thursday was spent greeting new arrivals to our camp. Who came then? […]

One advantage to iced coffee season is that I don’t have to make coffee in the morning. Making coffee before I’ve had my first cup of coffee is always a challenge. This way it’s already made and I just drink it. I don’t even have to wait to breakfast; I’m writing this fully caffeinated. I […]

Doesn’t Know Enough To Come In Out of the Rain

I’m trying something new, not forcing myself to blog in the morning. I was hungry so I ate first. When I eat I watch TV and got involved watching Doctor Who. Then I had Budgiedome business to take care of. Then personal business to take care of. Now I’m ready to rumble. Sorry, Kathy, I […]

It’s not the Heat it’s the Stupidity

My birthday was on Friday but I celebrated on Thursday and then again yesterday. This time it was with Dan. How did we celebrate? By being idiots and walking around the Bronx on a day with a Feels Like temperature of 106°. Our first stop was Brunch at a local diner that I had never […]

The Deirdre, the Christine, and the Idiot.

Today you get to read about great music, great friends, and me being an idiot. Why do I think it’s the last that you’ll find the most entertaining? As is usual for Fridays I went to therapy. Does therapist/patient confidentiality go both way? May I repeat the story that demonstrates that she’s a sociopath? I […]
