The Birth of Mithun

There are times when India really makes me laugh…. … I mean, other than things like watching Bollywood videos where it seems like people are always going through weird mating rituals replete with bright costumes, head bobbing, and peculiar synchronized dancing…. … or like the time that a student asked me to download a song [...]

Raining Words of Wisdom

So, the rains seem to have started, though I’m still not certain that this is supposed to be the Monsoons. From what I hear, the weather has been irregular in the past couple of years. Where hasn’t it been? Global warming maybe?

The path towards getting there from here

The Path Towards Getting There From Here is a DWAB song off of the A Very Well-Calculated Lack of Cohesion CD. Amy took this photo of me while I was on the “Toy Train” to Ooty, and I thought that I would have some fun with my Photoshop plugins and make a silly video of [...]

Attack of the white ants

Part 1: “Aieee! Get the camera! Ewww…. What are they?!?” This is the building that our flat is located in. We are on the second floor—or actually, by Indian terms, the first floor.

The P James Magic Show

One day when I get old

Henny tells us the story about how she used to have some home videos. She’d like to watch them again, but one of her children has taken the “apparatus” to view the movies. But, when she gets old (or if she gets hurt on her ski trip that she’s coming back from tonight) she’s going [...]

Selling my hardcore soul

I sold my hardcore soul the other day… for cheap. Actually, all I did was sell off the majority of my 7” records, but in a way, that action can be seen as giving up my hardcore soul—more so than if I had sold some of my hardcore albums or CDs. So far, I don’t [...]
