the persistent moon and the red morning sun

Weather:

Today it feels warm enough to skate. To bad there’s still a bunch of snow and where there’s not snow its all scum water.

There was a holiday hiatus but now it’s back to business.

There’s some new info over on ParkingBlockPublishing. Have a look and buy some zines.

Our friend Gabe Levinson has been pretty busy. He has a story about a significant object over here and book review fiction available here. He’s getting things done.

That’s all I can think of right now. My brains a bit mushy. These are things that happened.

See there was a bunch of postal problems.

The owner invited us in and cooked us a breakfast pizza for free while we waited for everything to be ready. It was delicious. Then we ate our actual meal. That guy seems to really love what he does and that’s always inspiring to see. Makes me want to do more.

Hai Karate

I got the best gift for Christmas and it wasn’t even a gift. My father is moving and he gave me a box of stuff that he found. In that box was this fine product and a tape with random footage from a day in 89 or 90. Look for an edit of that in a month of two. It gets me hyped and makes me laugh. Pretty amazing.
