Day 4: South By Southwest 2011
!!! at the French Legation Day Party One thing I’ve learned from doing coverage for The Coast at South By Southwest is it’s really tough to shoot video while you’re dancing. Day 4 at South By Southwest 2011 proved to be a day for flailing around like a rag doll (I’m not the world’s best […]

Fuck you, Fates
Yeah, that’s right, fuck you Clotho for taunting me with your amazing use of timing. I don’t believe in Karma but maybe I should. Good job on your efficiency too, do you get a group rate? Blarg. —Cranky
To whom it may concern
I only addressed you once, mostly out of curiousity. I have no axe to grind with you, why would I? I ascribed Stockholm Syndrome only because it seemed apt. It’s a scenario wherein an individual identifies with their antagonists/captors. I mean, it doesn’t take vast percipience to see that you’re a pariah here. Whether rightly […]
