In the 2/15-22/10 issue of the New Yorker, there's a pretty good Malcolm Gladwell article about the anthropology of drinking. No link, because it's not online anywhere, but worth looking for, if you're into that kind of thing.

Vaguely relatedly, I drank my first bottle of my first batch of homebrew on Saturday. Didn't go blind. Even less relatedly, I recently learned that Midwest Supplies, a big winemaking/homebrewing store in Minneapolis, also sells hydroponic equipment. There may be a fascinating overlap here.

Try to imagine Pegasus mating with a unicorn, and the creature that they birth. I somehow tame it and ride it into the sky in the clouds and sunshine and rainbows. That's what it feels like."

Inspired by a conversation w/Jud:

Remember The Goats? What the hell happened to those dudes? Representative couplet from their first album: "Columbus killed more Indians than Hitler killed Jews/ but on his birthday you get sales on shoes." From their second: "The Northern Lights gets me high as kites/ got a stupid-phat collection of bongs, bowls and pipes."

I've been listening to Ghostface's Fishscale a lot lately, so much that I've got these imagined videos for many of the songs in my head--e.g., 'Shakey Dog' looks like a blaxploitation Point Blank; 'Kilo' (bonus sample link here) looks like Sesame Street from the '70s. 'The Champ,' though, pretty much looks like this.
