Old Friends Like Amputations

2008-10-11 01:40:34 by Editor in The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal
 
Some days I wonder whether I miss old friends, or whether I just miss the idea of them. My life has been a series of chasing soulmates - folks I spent huge amounts of time, with, sharing every detail of each other's lives, and then them either breaking it off or (more often) just drifting away And I wonder whether I ever really knew them....

Me Want Food

2008-10-10 15:39:09 by Editor in The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal
 
So I just spent half an hour making the Cook's Illustrated version of a hamburger. Which involves taking boneless short ribs and sirloin tips, freezing them until they're cool, and then grinding them yourself in a food processor. They claim this is because the collagens in the meat bunch up when you compress them otherwise, so they have to be...

Civilization

2008-10-10 13:02:53 by Editor in The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal
 
I like civilization. I'm a big fan of having a large crowd of people committed to my safety and protection, since I'm generally against large hordes of barbarians raping my wife and pillaging my home theater system But I do think that civilization encourages a weird kind of myopia. Because the civilization and culture around you does a lot of...

It's Been Two Months Since You Looked At Me

2008-10-09 13:07:14 by Editor in The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal
 
Two months ago, I was on a plane, feeling the ghost of California wrapped around my shoulders, smelling of eucalyptus and dorm room carpeting. My head was stuffed full of new writing, and I felt that first tug of loss in knowing that nearly all my Clarion friends were somewhere else. The only consolation was that Steffi, wonderfully filthy...

My To-Do List Baffles Me

2008-10-08 15:16:23 by Editor in The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal
 
I am a to-do list junkie. One of the reasons I got my iPhone is that my To-Do list on my Treo sucked. I have been known to do something, then write it down on my to-do list so that I can check it off However, for the past two days I've had an item on my to-do list that I can't fathom Follow up girlfriend I have no clue what this means, or why...

The Disappearance of Slack, Or: Can't Have It Both Ways

2008-10-08 14:03:32 by Editor in The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal
 
The biggest complaint about the Presidential debates is how damn boring they are. Nobody says anything new, they just cling to their talking points like barnacles to a ship and recite their lines That's probably your fault. Because most of us are, secretly, watching the President jog An interesting fact: Whenever the President jogs, the...

Okay, Who's With Me?

2008-10-07 17:39:03 by Editor in The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal
 
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD , Adapted from the George Romero film of the same name, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD ,by Lori Allen Ohm, brings the spine-tingling horror and brutal in-your-face honesty of the classic zombie flick to life. Sure to be a cult phenomenon, directors John Paul Soto and James Kosmatka are pulling out all the stops, with a...

Griping In Phases

...movies that they confuse uncomfortable situations with humor 2) Just a brief notice: If you ever steal a political sign off of someone else's lawn, you are dead to me. I may talk to you, I may laugh, but you've just stolen someone's right to self-expression. I can't condone that I'm not thrilled about the big ol' MCCAIN/PALIN sign on my...

For the Record....

2008-10-06 20:07:25 by Editor in The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal
 
If you send via FedEx, and you pay extra to claim a value of $300 on the package, and they fucking lose the package entirely , then guess what? You still have to give them receipts to prove that what you sent was worth $300. This is after two weeks' worth of dicking you around, supposedly "closing out" the claim twice (without sending you any...
