The Night I Played Bingo For the First Time and Realized I Was a Giant Pussy

3 Comments 17 May 2013

Guys, I played grownup bingo for the first time yesterday and it hurt. Grownup bingo is not for pussies, but as I learned yesterday, I’m one giant pussy. It takes a brave man or woman to sit in such a high-stress environment surrounded by dialogue boxes of smoke and florescent lights loaned from UT’s football [...]

Who is Your Creative Idol?

5 Comments 14 May 2013

I’d like to wish a very happy birthday to my creative idol. Since I was sixteen years old, David Byrne has been my guiding light for creativity. I first fell in awe when I watched the 15th anniversary DVD release of Stop Making Sense. Seeing him choreographically stumble at the end of “Psycho Killer” absolutely [...]

The Many Faces of Chevy Chase (pictures)

1 Comment 01 April 2013

Well, yesterday’s post provoked the wrath of Khan, so I’m going to write about something warm and fuzzy today… like Chevy Chase’s face! I had no clue what to write about earlier, so I sought inspiration from my friend Mike who has been on a Fletch kick lately. “What should I write about today, Mike?” [...]

Lady Crush of the Day: Nicole Atkins

7 Comments 19 March 2013

Sad fact: I typically don’t gravitate towards female singers. Their voices often sound too perfect- too clean- and in the great words of David Byrne, “The better the singer’s voice is, the harder it is to believe what they’re saying.” Only the ladies with stories to tell in their voice and lyrics such as Janis [...]
