I’d be impressed if it was vegetarian.
Today’s Tribune has an article about Gastropubs, which are basically bars with good beer lists AND good food. Not good food like, “Man, they’ve got the best chicken wings! 25 for a dollar! Can’t beat it!” Good food more like it has weird French names that aren’t weird if you know food, and they pair […]
So iTunes is a pretty great program, I can’t fault it for that. I’ve been doing a lot of musical goofing around today, including download MusicIP, which is a really cool program. You tell it a song you like, and it will make a mix with similiar songs. Today I picked the song “Mi Primer […]
So this week’s reader has a list of the 50 best restaurants in Chicago. Perfect for someone who’s not eating. Anyhow, upon my return to the land of the eating, these are the places I’ve never been but should try. I can only have one meal out/week, and even thats really pretty ill-advised. Anyhow, this […]

Thanks to a heads-up from a friend in New Zealand, I’ve been listening to a NZ band called The Mint Chicks. I checked out their songs on MySpace, and watched some videos on amplifier.co.nz, which seems to be the cheapest NZ CD store. (Sidenote: There’s a 12.5% tax on apparently everything there. If you ship […]
I am pretty sure MySpace was invented by the Association for Blurry and/or Grainy Photographs.
Nick Cave is Creepy.
So I have recently, reluctantly, decided to pay more attention to what’s going on on the internet. I mean, I keep somewhat abreast, but I’m going to try to be more cutting edge. And stuff. That means I have to play a whole lot of catch up before I can even fathom what/where that cutting […]
