The Fool kills Tupac
Mothers of Mayhem The Gang Gets Cancelled Ugh. More of me rambling. This time with two of my favorite ladies, Marian and Christina. Worth it to see the Baby B. I explain why Wu Tang is superior. Nuff said.

the fool fools the crowd, eleven inches
Spigot, sort of My friend Eric Butler recorded my reading at Scares That Care, and posted it on his Podcast, What’s in the Box? The crowd wasn’t sure what was happening for a while. Eleven inches. Not appropriate for anyone. Enjoy.

the fool ferments: vinegar (update)
the fermentation process is going strong. We officially have alcohol. Now we let the fermentation continue until it reaches the right level (6-11%) of alcohol and begins to turn to to vinegar. We are 7 days in. At 20 we should be able to strain the fruit out and cap them. The best part is, […]
the fool ferments again: vinegar
In my new exploration in cooking, I’ve grown obsessed with uniting the five flavors in each dish. My latest facet has been focusing on acidity. The perfect counterpoint to sweet but so often neglected. Tomatoes are a great source in typical meals. But I want to move past basics. So vinegar. A two step fermentation […]
the fools reads about himself and cries

“IDLES – CRY TO ME”
Dear readers Hello, my name is Mike and I am addicted to music and writing and Her. It could be worse, it could be drugs. So I have slipped back into the spell of Idles since they did an NPR Tiny Desk concert Thursday. I’d gone cold turkey for months and suddenly the spiders danced […]
“Beck – Milk & Honey”
This album is the best Prince inspired set of songs. Got me through the couple mile trek to my interview. Now sipping tea and patiently waiting with it on repeat. Wish you were here.
“Alkaline Trio – You’re Dead” (the song in Rain II, a love story continued)
In Rain, toyGuitar was the sound track. I kind of liked the ending to Rain. Felt it told the full story. I had moved on. It’s like that old saying – if life is a joke, death is the punchline. Then I was lounging in despair, as I am known to do. Listening to music. […]
