The Long Winters

It's wonderous brontosaurus! And Pluto is a planet! The end.

I sent these cards out this year. And this one is for you guys.

Dear The Nicest and Best-taste-in-music-having Board on the Internet, Merry Christmas! I bear gifts! First, the perfect answer to the question "What do you want for Christmas?" And secondly, the most precious and lovely version of a holiday standard I've heard in years: Goldfrapp's version of Winter...

Ya those country ballads really know how to work the heartstrings...

Wow. That is fantastic.

If "The Land of Women" had something like that I might not have regretted wasting an hour and a half of my life watching it.

Although I think it's already been done, I'll have to post from Japan when I move there in April. 日本はすごい、ね。楽しいですよう。(=Japan is awesome! It's so fun, I tell you!) I lived there for almost two years. Let me know if you have any questions, would like some tips, etc. I will talk your face off about Japa...

Kathy Mattea, "Black Lung" The song itself is a story, but there's also quite a story behind the song . (There's audio for the radio show here - the good stuff's just before 3/4 of the way in, where she meets Hazel, who wrote the song about her brother.) ---- Along a similar vein (ho ho), I also li...

I'm accessing these here internets via the wifi on the bus I'm riding between NYC and Boston! I'd say this qualifies as a strange place to post from... only a couple years ago I wouldn't have believed it! Definitely qualifies! Roadtrips by rolling vehicles makes for some of the best traveler mindse...

That site is effing hilarious. Too bad the closest reading is Ann Arbor. I'll have to read this...

Music can manipulate emotions in a very ungovernable way. I was most recently reminded of this when the soundtrack to "The Biggest Loser" made me cry, despite the visuals being totally ridiculous. (Don't laugh, I've been learning to crochet, which means I barely pay attention to what comes on the tv...

Letterpress lovenotes of the cephalopod variety.

So far, I haven't seen any bugs, but I've been away the past week. John's new avatar looks like Eric. It's a trick!

My first blog. Hey, check me out! http://motiononcredit.wordpress.com You are all, of course, warmly invited peruse my new internet home and all the fascinating things I have to share with the e-people at large. Important, exciting things... like my dog's new accessories. And as LW's fans, you are a...

Actually, discounting the loons on that site Grant just posted, the big trend I'm noting with the two or three McCain supporters I know is this bizarre nostalgic Reagan thang. I think we're going to see a lot of harkening back to the 80's (yikes) in the new GOP World Order. Neat! Real conservatives...

lol. It makes me kind of sad, but also, some of it is funny. Apparently the army of fluff-brain evangelical flag-wavers cling to more than just guns and religion, they also cling to dumb campaign slogans, anger, fear, and partisan animosity. Perhaps our best bet is just to ignore them, and hope they...

i guess you can always show whose side you're on or show pride in who you voted for but let's say in 2012 you're driving around with a kerry bumper sticker. see what i'm sayin? :) Yup, I get it. :) I see a lot of kerry stickers still, and I like seeing them. Some candidates become meaningless, and ...

here are my questions about political bumper stickers... what happens when the race is over? and what if they lose? Nothing happens. :P I wouldn't mind having the sticker there win or lose. It was a great sticker and the man has already done a lot of good. I just hope he gets elected. For the sake ...

I would love to see Indiana turn blue. Please Please Please Please. NoYouAre, I know! That sticker is gorge. My mom offered me her Obama08 normal official campaign sticker, and...it just doesn't have the same pizzaz. And yeah, the whole Racists for Obama thing is the weirdest trend I've ever seen. B...

No way, Obama loves the Long Winters!

He was sincere, Liesbeth :(. Why do you have to be so suspicious? :(

Witnessing an old fart rip the Obama sticker off my car while muttering about terrorists and distributing wealth. What an asshole! Furthermore, that was the first bumper sticker I ever put on my car and Obama is the first politician that I've ever in my life actually believed in and genuinely liked....
