Lazy Sunday: 13 April 2014

Posted on April 13, 2025 | Leave a comment

Despite Field Day being my least favorite day of the year in grade school, I’m voluntarily attending one today. If you’re luckier than me and spending this time in of doors and not playing Capture the Flag, enjoy some fancy reading materials.

  • AN ANIMATED JOHNNY CASH INTERVIEW. He talks about his sideburns, touring life, and being ordained by God to sing “Ring of Fire.” PBS is the best.
  • “What would you keep children for? So they can get you water on your deathbed?” Stay weird, Human Barbie, stay weird.
  • SURPRISE! Tons of famous landmarks are in the middle of large cities. But no, for real, I had no idea the Pyramids of Giza looked like this, or that Stonehenge was part of the commute for some folks.
  • Southerners: It’s not that we’re sorry, it’s that we’re sorry we got caught.
  • We actually want to date ourselves.
  • No, really.
  • Being kayak-jacked is the hell I never knew I feared the most.
  • Would anyone like to go treasure hunting with me? This is a real question. My contact info is in the About tab.
  • Treat yourself to a decent towel.
  • Here’s a visual guide to the best style of coffee to drink in each country. I can vouch for a couple, but now I just want to go to Asia to try all these odd combos I hadn’t previously considered.

Lazy Sunday: 23 March 2014

Posted on March 23, 2025 | Leave a comment

After proof that a full moon can take a wrecking ball to everything you think you know, it’ll be nice to just sit around and read today, right?

  • I have lived and will continue to live in places at the periphery of reliable smartphone coverage, so this is excellent news for me, a chronically lost person.
  • Haven’t gotten through all this yet, but Guernica’s American South issue has a ton of great pieces to explore at your leisure across interview, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and art. Enjoy.
  • I am very excited about the new Wes Anderson because I love artists with obvious signatures, and he was really influential on the development of my personal style. I welcome any and all looks inside the little dollhouse of his mind.
  • Interesting quick read about the black press during the Civil War.
  • My friend sent me this thing about the tulip stock market and whoa, plants are so crazy! I’m reading a book about flowers right now, so it feels like everything is about this. WAKE UP SHEEPLE.
  • Let’s have a talk about fast fashion and all that entails.
  • Oology is the study of bird eggs, and this is a long read about tracking down people who steal them from nests. I know this sounds so boring, but it was every bit as compelling as The Wire.
  • Basically every woman in the known world is sorry you aren’t Idris Elba, too. Also, these are HILARIOUS and it’s impossible to know who’s mad and who’s just saying funny stuff.
  • Hey, this is a really nice story about a guy who tracked down the guy who talked him off a bridge.
  • So far, I’ve only ever been to four of these, and I’m optimistic to visit all of them! Looks like there is great coffee to be had the world over, including in Antarctica!

Lazy Sunday, 2 June 2013

Posted on June 2, 2024 | Leave a comment

Welcome back to Lazy Sunday! Do some reading and don’t feel obligated to shower or get fully dressed today.

  • On small talk, something I’m terrible at.
  • Yelp, the wisdom of the crowd, and monoculture.
  • Keeping your house totally clean in 20 minutes a day. I know, I know, 20 minutes is basically forever, but imagine NOT spending an two hours doing this every weekend.
  • French pressing your beer to make it even tastier? Sounds great/dangerous/great.
  • You admire a character more for trying than for their successes.
  • I desperately wonder what movies they were watching here. Probably not the Hangover 2, but maybe not, like, Breathless, either.
  • If you’re sure that feminism’s work is done, take a look at all these examples of spaces still comprised 100% of men and get back to me.
  • An oldie but a goodie regarding the Secret World of Alex Mack (aka “the government). Was I the only one who did NOT know about Oak Ridge, Tennessee?
  • I consider picky eating to be reflective of terrible parenting and even worse breeding (yeah, I’m the kind of person who says things like ‘ill-bred’, wanna fight?), but maybe there’s more to it than that. Probably not, though. What does science know? Amirite, climate change deniers?
  • Here is how to coldbrew. Stop wasting $5 every morning on ice coffee.

Dixieland Jazz Blues

Posted on February 20, 2025 | 1 comment

This morning, I got nostalgic for New Orleans. I used to spend a lot of time there, and now I don’t. Why am I so overrun with a need to return to Louisiana? It could be this:

But I think it could also be that I miss my friends and to go cups for my cocktails. I’m not going to rule out any of it. But, you know, you make do. I put on the Dixieland Songza station and made myself some New Orleanian snacks.
