For whatever reason, there was a huge Ska scene in SLC during the early 90’s. I mean, 3 out of 4 local bands that regularly played gigs were Ska groups. Some of my favs were Swim Herschel Swim, Stretch Armstrong (from Provo), and Model Citizen (from Logan). After seeing so many local Ska shows, I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #3→
Last time, I mentioned that in my Jr. high days, one of the bands I discovered on KJQ was the Cure. To be honest, they were kind of a guilty pleasure. I felt uncomfortable every time I saw a picture of Robert Smith, the band’s front man. He was as dedicated to his stage makeup … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #2→

Since I didn’t, I apologize in advance for the scattered, and most likely disconnected manner in which this post will turn out. Now that the preface is out of the way, … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #1→

They are total rubbish. First of all, they take themselves way too seriously. They were playing at full volume with … Continue reading Waiting for Weezer→
As a result of the tough economic times that we are currently experiencing, I have been discouraged from carrying over, or cashing in any vacation this year. As a result, I have implemented a plan to start burning off my vacation days before the end of the year. I started by taking today off. Reagan … Continue reading Day off→
Nothing says “fall is here” like doing some pull ups in the woods, wearing only boxer briefs. I think that, in this ad, Perry Ellis was aiming for a composition that all guys can relate to. Because honestly, what guy can’t say that in all of those times they found themselves wandering through the woods … Continue reading #5 fall fashion ad commentary→
This picture was taken earlier this week of our new little Avocado tree. It is now almost as tall as the other plant in the pot. See how much it has grown in one week! It looks like of the anxiety surrounding the start up of the CERN Hadron Collider was all for naught. However, … Continue reading Avocado tree update (and others)→
