when you aren’t here

By Giania • Jul 20th, 2010 • Category: Literature

Hot: when you aren’t here I steal all the pillows and fart like a pack mule I cling desperately to the fragile skin of my #FirstWorldProblems or else run sighing into the arms of deep, dark thoughts when I don’t hear from you the Furies take wing and wrap piano wire a million times around [...]



Welcome Alexandria Refugees

By Giania • Jun 23rd, 2010 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Revisions, updates, and addendum below I am sure that you all, like myself, have been disappointed by the recent turn of events surrounding WordPress.com’s arbitrary rule enforcement process. I would like to present to you all an opportunity to “live under the articles” (p. 186), as it were. I should like to extend to [...]



Bullshittin’ With Sketch – Henry Rollins

By Sketch E Whiteface • Jan 27th, 2010 • Category: Featured

Hot: Hey folks, I’m not dead. Now that’s out of the way, on to the main event. I’m quite the fan of Henry Rollins, anything he’s in I’ll watch, any interview that’s out there I’ll look into – I really dig on him. I’ve seen his spoken word twice before, once in my native state [...]



Words to Know: Anarchist’s Dictionary Edition #1

By Giania • Nov 5th, 2009 • Category: WTK

Hot: First up on this WTK is the opposite of wealth. That term is “illth” and was coined by John Ruskin as a way of giving simple voice to the concept of possessing damage, discontent, or general ill health (physically, economically, spiritually, etc). In Ruskin’s case, and in several applications, this is largely applicable to [...]



The Old Guard and The New Aeon: Bukowski & His Mac IIsi

By Giania • Oct 22nd, 2009 • Category: Articles of Interest

Hot: 16-bit Intel 8088 chip with an Apple Macintosh you can’t run Radio Shack programs in its disc drive. nor can a Commodore 64 drive read a file you have created on an IBM Personal Computer. both Kaypro and Osborne computers use the CP/M operating system but can’t read each other’s handwriting for they format [...]



Love at First Listen: Beautiful Small Machines – Counting Back to 1

By Giania • Sep 17th, 2009 • Category: Audio

Hot: Edited to remove imeem embed, since it only played 30 seconds. This poppy, energetic, tightly executed ditty grabbed me in the first few seconds the way few songs have in a while (since the Fleet Foxes’ White Winter Hymnal, I reckon). It’s a super catchy balance of techno precision and warm pop sensibilities, wrapped [...]



Ashtanga Yoga: A Beginner’s Perspective

By AmHm • Jul 27th, 2009 • Category: Yoga

I began my Ashtanga practice for reasons much less noble than what I later learned many practitioners believe: that Ashtanga is “the path of internal purification for revealing the Universal Self.” Not me. I was motivated by a strong sense of vanity and a dislike of jogging



why your social media guru is an asshole & a liar OR how to succeed (or not) with your internet presence

By Giania • Jun 30th, 2009 • Category: Internet Tools

Hot: Author’s Note: Some editing may apply to the article below. This article was originally 2 hours worth of unedited vitriol, inspired by the inordinate amount of time it takes me to remove spammers from my follower list on Twitter. (I block because I care about the health of the network.) I would like to [...]



The Craigslist Posting That Will Almost Certainly Never Be

By Giania • Jun 23rd, 2009 • Category: Fnord

Hot: Disclaimer-by-way-of-Prologue – I sat down and thought to myself: “Suppose I was to solicit some kind of bodily coupling through something like craigslist, in an area where these kind of services are clearly not at their peak usefulness?” This is the result of that thought process. (I may have also been letting my mind [...]



Amazing Concoction: Doctor Funkenstein

By Giania • Jun 10th, 2009 • Category: Food

Hot: As drinks go, especially mixed drinks, I’m a big fan of traditional over fruity or “umbrella” drinks (you know, the ones that turn you into a zombie? ha ha). However, Mister Parker’s recent experiment with the recipe for a drink known as the Doctor Funk has proved to be an elixir of great potency. [...]
