So for today’s post I thought I would talk about my score on a practice quiz on imperative, indicative, subjunctive, verb moods, pronoun cases, participles, gerunds, and infinitives. Because apparently my present knowledge of them [...]

As I got ready for the Times New Viking record release show Friday night at the Wexner Center, I was a little worried about what the night held in store. Times New Viking have just been signed to the Matador label, home of other independent artists such as Cat Power, Belle & Sebastian and Pavement.

Cloverfield is AAA grade junk. It is entertaining AND frightening. I know. I can’t believe that there is actually a movie that has finally successfully combined these formerly mutually exclusive film achievements. Cloverfield requires no intellect, just a stomach capable of handling a whole lot of dark bumps, huge explosions, and cheesy lines. But don’t [...]

A Blue Banana
There isn’t much that turns my head more than a blue banana
I think about them most on Thursday afternooners.
This morning I ate one for breakfast
Blueberry-Banana-Blueberry-Banana
Dear Ginger – Your bread was delicious
When I stay up till five and sleep till
eleven
nothing makes me feel warmer, saner, more like a
Wednesday morning in July.
To the Man in [...]

Your hand was stretched out
from your body – You waved
and signaled, your feet bouncing up and down as you waited
for the crosswalk signal to
change. Your voice was silence, your English – poor.
“Do you want me to hold
the bus for you man?” says the dude with the duffel bag who
stood in the middle of the sidewalk
waiting [...]

Well, since it appears that no one is reading this, and I don’t really have much to say to the ENTIRE WORLD, I am going to say that Moment of Deck’s days might be numbered. Big apology to all you earnest fans.
Anyway, in what will anticlimactically NOT be the LAST Moment with B, I thought [...]

Today I worked at the cafe. There was an inordinate amount of dancing going on amongst the various personnel. I was personally involved. Is that a redundant statement? (yes) Am I retarded? (smack me and paint my green, yes).
Today’s Moments of B on Moment of Deck is going to feature the following excerpt from our [...]

I try to be fiercely independent, kind of like how the dwarfs in C.S. Lewis’ The Last Battle are “for the dwarfs.” When they get to heaven in the story, they tell themselves that they are still just in a stable in Narnia. The Pevensey children realize that they have actually died and gone to [...]

The Key to writing a book is staying in the room and pushing words onto the paper just past the point where you think you really have something good on the page, something you think you can take a break from. Curious readers can learn this from Ron Calson’s book “Ron Carlson Writes a Story”

Well folks, you’ll never guess who’s back. And its not going to be too g-rated
Anyway, it seems like blogging is really becoming trendy again so I thought I’d perpetuate the bottomless pit of the internet in honor of January 7, national cluster-fuck day.
I’d like to begin with a picture to make up for lost time, [...]
