Today marks a very special holiday indeed – the birthday of my dearest darling, Miss Pandora Gastelum. In lieu of getting to celebrate her whelping with her (the travesty of why this cannot be is detailed below), I am writing this here, so those of you who do not know her can begin to, a [...]

More Magic Windows photos from my New Orleans adventures: This house was decorated so wonderfully for Hallowe’en + Dia de los Muertos, I had to stop and gawp at it for a bit. I wonder who lives there? I like them already. A view from the back of Rusty Lazer’s trusty minivan, on the morning [...]

Before too much time escapes through my glass, I must give you a little peepshow into the depraved and delightful scene that was our New Orleans Hallowe’en. It was actually a shockingly mellow night, aside from the total shitshow that was Frenchmen Street, where hordes of rat-like zombies swarmed around canisters of nitrous, falling over [...]

It’s quite amazing what a week or so away from your everyday life can do for one’s perspective. I always return from my travels newly inspired, and oddly even more in love with home, and the city I live in. I’ve always been the kind of vagabond that likes knowing I have a bed, and [...]

Here we go, darlings – on the precipice of a new year, and just nearly ready to dry our sticky wings on the other side of the future! 2010, for real? I mean, doesn’t it seem slightly preposterous, as if we ought to be living in some science fiction reality? Where’s my flying car? I [...]

(via paperlilies) Fever dreams, strange passages, sleeping all day. Oh, I’ve been so ill! Again, a nasty bug has knocked me down- an unfortunate casualty of my poor candle, burnt at both ends. I’ve been flattened like a pancake under the steamroller of a particularly pernicious strain of influenza. Bother! I won’t go into the [...]

(From the collection of Mark Dion and Dana Sherwood) I arrived in the city soundly, despite Mercury’s meddlings (delays, insane turbulence) and headed straight from the airport to the Hungarian House where my beloved Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band and The Luminescent Orchestrii featuring my old friend Sxip Shirey were tearing it up. It was [...]

Oh my. It’s been a while since I was last in New York. I just dug up these pictures from the last time I was there, and I’m flooded by memories of how much fun we had.. Now I’m even more excited about visiting again- it really is one of my favorite cities, and I [...]

So, remember when I went to Chicago? I’m just now finding a minute to write about all that, so forgive the vast rewind- as per usual, I create my own time-space continuum and all that. I find myself in a hulking city packed with bodies and marvel as I let myself be buffeted like a [...]
