from the "a career in vice" dept.


An oldie but a goodie today from Salon: The 7 vices of highly creative people.

I slam my fist on the table. "We need a book about the 7 Vices of Highly Creative People before the whole country ends up in a straitjacket!" Bobby agrees enthusiastically, grabs a stack of napkins and begins writing. All the years we've spent studying history and literature are finally paying off. It isn't easy. But after six hours and five pitchers we finish the job. The pub closes so we gather the napkins and head for a late-night bar to celebrate. It isn't quite a book, but what the hell. We have better things to do than write another damn self-help book.


The list is HERE.

from the "travels with my rant" dept.

Since I've been unable to produce the ultimate travel show, I'm always on the look out for one that meets my high/bizarre standards.

Few pass the test. But I think I've finally found a winner from the folks at Vice Magazine. If this doesn't make you want to run off to an arms bazaar in Pakistan, then nothing will.



I, for one, am looking forward to the mutant boar hunting in the exclusion zone around Chernobyl. It'll be atom-a-riffic! And Hula Girl is excited too!

Cheers!
