Heavy Alloy

Lately I’ve been getting into a lot of hard rock/metal music. Well, back into it I should say. After having Arcade Fire, Postal Service, and Mogwai under heavy rotation, this feels quite different. What do I blame it on? System Of A Down.
They released 2 albums last year, Mezmerize and Hypnotize, [...]

The Kills – Keep On Your Mean Side

Welcome to the year 2003. I don’t know why this album passed right over me, but it’s probably why The Postal Service and Death Cab For Cutie – Transatlanticism flew over me in 2003 as well, shrug.
So how can I describe The Kills? Well, think of The White Stripes, but good. [...]

Chondromalacia Patellae

What the hell is Chondromalacia Patellae you ask? Well it’s Runner’s Knee and after Googling for my symptoms, I think this is what I have.
At first I was a bit surprised, a sports related injury…to me? Other than the usual bruises, scrapes, and soreness, I’ve never really had a genuine sports related injury. [...]

Not So Kneet

An update on me knee. It hurts like balls, but that’s mainly my fault. On with the story.
I woke up Monday, all ready for my run, went “hey, my knee feels a lot better, I could probably do a good run today, it’s only a little bit sore, so it’ll be fine”. [...]

Death By Food

Went home this weekend, why you ask? Well I’ll tell you, damn nosy ape.
I had to hang out with BQ. He’s back in the Western Hemisphere. We did what all the hip cool guys do in Carytown, coffee + music. Was great seeing him again, I hope his ass moves back [...]

Knee Deep In Water

Today I woke up, my right knee was very slightly sore, much better than the night before. Silly me took that as a good sign and went on my run. What a stupendously dumb idea. My knee is now killing me, I can barely stand. I almost fell getting out of [...]

$10 Hookah

Well I just got back from a sheesha bar in D.C. First time I ever went to one, even though many of my friends frequent them I believe. Not that it matters, I don’t smoke or drink so I was just there to hang out with friends and absorb the cigarette smell into [...]
