(Make sure you’ve read Saturday’s post before you read today’s, in case you were away over the weekend…! And look below for news about the threesome everyone’s been asking about…) We had room service because I was not ready to face other humans and I also wasn’t ready to face not being in the same […]
(Thanks to your generous donations of this past week, you have triggered a Saturday post! Enjoy! -ctan) Of course I didn’t smash a mirror in rage. Instead I ragefucked Ziggy which made us both feel much better about life and everything, and cleared my head enough for me to listen to his explanations. It was […]
Digger did show up at the party. Not a big surprise. He weaseled his way in some way or another, whether through connections or sneaking up the fire stairs, who knows.

I finally got to sleep and I slept several hours, and then […]
I’m not sure if Martin and Flip took it on themselves or if they were assigned to talk me down. When we got to the hotel in Indianapolis at four in the morning I was off the bus like a shot, but I didn’t make it to the elevator before they caught up with me. […]
It shouldn’t be hard to confess at this point that I get obsessive about certain things. Right? I mean: I know it, you guys know it. It’s not news. But I got sort of embarrassingly obsessive about trying to hear that song again. I didn’t even know what it was. A new single? A B-side? […]
Bart drove me back to Worcester in time to meet the bus to Hartford, and then tagged along on the bus on the way there. We had a lot of downtime that afternoon before they were actually ready for us to check sound, so me and Bart and Charlie worked on a rendition of “For […]
