This is just a cool found pic, taken on-set while filming the Batman TV show in the 60’s. You can see Adam West and Burt Ward “scale” a building here. Something about the graininess, the black-and-and white film makes it feel so noir … a very, very silly noir.

I just want to roll this week around in my mouth for a while like a snooty wine snob in a white suit and an ascot to match who is swishing something something rich and complex between his teeth.
Like many wine snobs, I imagine, I am frantic to figure out what to write […]

This is my roommate at his most classic — wearing a necktie (which is obscured in the photo), smoking a cigarette and hanging out in the kitchen in his underpants. He asked to remain nameless for this post. Fair enough.

I am just waking up from a […]

The problem with writing stories, actual stories for a blog is that, eventually, you run out. You’ve got to post daily, more or less (less in my case) and eventually you hit Peak Story, where you’ve told all the ones you’ve lived and are now reduced to writing about things you experienced while on […]

Those great big billboard ads you see on the subway are nothing but giant peel-and-stick Coloforms, really. I love the accidental collages you see when people randomly pick and peel those thing like they’re great big scabs, and I just knew it was a matter of time before someone started making art out of them.
