Tom and I stopped for lunch in a small town. At the only diner that seemed equipped to provide two hungry road-trippers with sustenance, we asked for a chicken sandwich. "Is it like a chicken burger?" I asked. "Somewhat," replied...jason2008-07-14T08:02:58-06:00Aussies_2

I'm not one for celebrity. Walking the great cities of the world--London, New York, Los Angeles, Paris--I'm sure I've passed the occasional Big Name but I would never notice. And frankly, when they're pointed out to me I barely...jason2008-06-18T13:49:51-06:00Exercises in appropriation

When I visit Marc in NYC we barely ever go into Manhattan. Why would we? Brooklyn is ten times better--cheaper food, easier mis-en-scenes, nicer boys, cuter cafes, more trees and parks. It's always seemed more real to me, whereas...jason2008-06-16T15:14:04-06:00Yes, it's been awhile

Currently in a Brooklyn coffee shop enjoying an iced tea and listening to Last Shadow Puppets. Having a glorious time here without you. It's been a long time since I wrote--I suppose for the same reason I sometimes don't answer...jason2008-06-16T14:45:21-06:00Uncontacted no more

Biking through the alley adjacent to my building yesterday morning, I saw this sign. I thought I'd help this person out but publicizing the theft. Please, please, if you took this person's compost toilet, for heaven's sake return it!...jason2008-05-13T07:56:22-06:00Fish out of water

Yes, I'll probably be attending John Bohannon's academic conference inside World of Warcraft, "Convergence of the Real and the Virtual." I'm trying to get my boss to cover a month's subscription costs but I doubt that's gonna fly. By...jason2008-05-06T08:18:44-06:00Crane, Monroe, and Toibin

In the April 17 issue of The New York Review of Books, one of my favorite authors, Colm Toibin, plumbs the recently-published Hart Crane: Complete Poems and Selected Letters. I haven't read much of Crane, but after coming across this...jason2008-05-05T09:43:02-06:00Grand theft auto

Yeah, I had to do it. I was remaining obliviously cool to the release of Grant Theft Auto IV this week until I started reading all the 10 out of 10 reviews it was getting. And the Crypto Jew...jason2008-05-01T12:07:22-06:00
