Last night Jennifer and I made our way to the Metreon on the 15 bus to go see Blood Diamond. The Metreon is an annoyingly loud and obnoxious Sony movie theater downtown. We went because we had free tickets because of bad sound quality the last time we were there. Hopefully this […]

It’s been quiet around the Lounge Chicken even after discussing the idea recently of posting more. I will try to rededicate to that idea but who knows how that’ll turn out. The reasons are obvious and not so obvious perhaps. One is the tried and true “I’m busy” excuse. The other […]

I hate getting robbed. I try and take a chilled out view and think how whomever stole whatever they stole from me needed it more than me. You know, on the grander scale of things one bike tire is really no big deal. But it still pisses me off to no end. […]

General Pinochet first entered my consciousness in around 1998 (long after he was out of power) when I was listening to the Clash. The song was Washington Bullets and for some reason the lyrics stuck with me that time. The part of the lyric that made me delve deeper was:

Perhaps it’s a bit geeky but I’m lovin the DIY (Do It Yourself) explosion that the internet has brought about.

I don’t really know and I won’t have any answers really at the end of this post. Jennifer and I went to see Jay Farrar last night at Slim’s which is a pretty sweet venue a bicycle ride away on 11th street between Harrison and Folsom (for those of you that want to Google […]

If this is what the new demo congress is capable of ….. I say they’re off to a good start
US Ambassador Bolton resigns from the UN
I understand that it’s impact is limited in by it’s symbolism but hell I’ll take it. As in all twelve step programs one at a time is fine.
