The Budgetary Drunk >> 2006 O'Reilly Pinot Noir
I don't care enough about wine to spend significant portions of my salary on it, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate quality. My dad's philosophy on finding good wine is to buy the most deeply discounted wine for under $10, but that principle feels a bit bankrupt …
The Budgetary Drunk >> 2005 Louis Latour Domaine de Valmoissine Pinot Noir
I confess, I have a thing for pinots. Eight months ago I had a taste of something that for the life of me I can't remember, but it hit a spot that few wines have done, and I've been on the scent ever since. Like most wines, it's hit and miss, and I've been more …

Thailand--ORLY?
RLY. It just doesn't feel like I'm really going yet. One week out and I have hardly cracked the Lonely Planet to figure out where I'm going.

The Trucks "Titties" EP!
Looks like Clickpop snuck this one out without so much as a word. Haven't found it in record stores yet, but you can stream the whole thing through their online player. Way more mixes than I expected, which is great! Mine's the "Dumb and Base Mix". Enjoy. :)

Here's how many steps it takes to get out of China: First, you have to fill out a departure card with your name, address, gender, address in china, passport number and reason for visiting. Then you must fill out a customs declaration form, even if you don't have …

Something new! >> Aurore
It's been a while. I thought I'd share a new track.Hi. I've been busy. My girlfriend and I spent the summer camping, talking, dancing and sleeping late on Saturdays. Something had to give, mostly my music, although I eked out a few half-finished ideas despite myself. …

my missing harddrive
About 5 days ago, I "lost" my harddrive. The icon disappeared from the desktop and the finder. A three hour quest to solve the problem led me to this article, which describes my problem exactly. Oddly, I had Path Finder installed, but the demo had expired. I did a …

After trying to get myself sent for almost a decade, I'm finally going to China on Friday for a week. I get almost a whole day in Hong Kong to wander around and soak up the city before we take the ferry to Zhongshan on the mainland, then possibly up to Beijing.
greetings from zhongshan
pronounced "jongsan" or "zhongshawn" or "dzongshawn" depending on who you ask, and whether or not you listen to both the chinese and english translations on the video they played on the ferry ride over from hong kong. i'm about and hour and a half from hong kong, on the …
