Took a walk with my wife in the good cemetery where we both think we'd eventually like plots and markers, but we also both want to be cremated, so we discussed the possibility of interring some of those twelve-foot skeletons when we go.

If aliens came to Earth with the sole intent of mocking Philadelphia to its face they could not do any better than the Mummers comic troupes. "THIS IS YOU," the aliens say, pointing at the crowd. "THIS IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE TO US."

Every year this two-day EDM fest comes to the Philly Convention Center and makes me wonder things. [ ] Are these *all* real artists? [ ] Is it a big deal? Who goes? [ ] Is there a secret cult/wellness component? [ ] The Convention Center? [ ] Body marbling. [ ] A rave at the Convention Center?

So a friend listening to Joey Sweeney on Sleepy Hollow this morning said that he said Fiona Apple’s Extraordinary Machine was a holiday song based on the sound, so I decided to pair it with Vera-Ellen’s dance in White Christmas and I think it checks out. Cut at 3 minutes due to Bluesky.

Still pretty proud of this piece I wrote in 2021. I wish I could make a living writing like I want to write.

There’s something special about overlooking a gritty environment in the name of cheap drinks, good company and real-deal bartenders.
