Had a great weekend. Went to Tina's Latinum show last night with PDX all-star bands Dead Friends and Dartgun and the Vignettes. This evening I had a happy hour show, Trouble Cuts opening for the Lonesomes. Now I'm at Bollywood theater getting some Bday dinner to bring home.

My life on cassette part 1 This summer has been full of activity for the Cole household. Our 18-year-old, Louis, went off to enlist in the army a month after his 18th ...

After 40+ years I'm finally sorting through all of my cassettes: edhead101.blogspot.com/2025/08/my-l...

We watched the 1st episode of Fantasy Island tonight, what a cruel and fucked up show! Murderous cheerleaders, rape, alcoholism and Tattoo doing failed magic tricks. So wrong and yet strangely appealing.

I love places in Portland that have no AC in the summer - Holman's, Padee, it's fucking hot but it keeps the week hearts out

Now that I'm a senior gen X er, the fact they're playing Black Sabbath Paranoid in the supermarket is pissing me off. They're pandering to me! Grrrr

My 17-year-old and his goofy friends are taking turns waterboarding themselves / doing the ice bucket to the face challenge on the back porch while I'm trying to work. Should I be worried?

Do other countries outside of USA have insurance open enrollment meetings?

Nice day, did some yard work, exercised, checked the oil in the Volvo and talked to an investment counselor at Fidelity. I'm in investment jail for 90 days for making too many panic trades, oh well. I'm through worrying, going to band practice later.

This app is 99% depression. I keep hoping for inspiration - nope

It kills me that news sources are reporting "stock market is great for those who chose to listen to Trump's hints." JFC, that fool spews so much BS, who could find one nugget of Truth in that pile of crap?

Went on a date with Tina last night. We went to see Barry Brusseau and his band, then met some good friends for yummy Vietnamese food and then to Kraftwerk at the Keller, a most satisfactory night.

I don't know if band practice made the world a better place but I feel a lot better after ripping out some sick guitar solos

I started talking to a fully grown co worker about Buck Owens, expecting he would know who that was. " You know from Hee Haw?", "Dude, I was born in 1985." Fuck I'm old!

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

You cannot make this shit up. Sharing this jaw-dropping story with a gift link -- give it a read.

Gardening at the Oligarchy Well ... not EXACTLY gardening, but fence-building. It made me mental when our fence blew down during a windstorm a few weeks ago. The lack ...

Enough with the depressing news! bluesky is kind of a bummer. Where's the fun? I know politics and world news is awful - who's got something fun for the end times? End times party, woooo!

New Seasons is full today, they sent out a 25% off coupon via email, perhaps sensing folks would buy heavy since 2/28 is buy nothing day

We're waiting for our tire to be fixed at Les Schwab, sitting in the waiting room, eating popcorn and OMG I am now addicted to the smell of rubber. Get me a job here, pronto. #rubberlife

I'm feeling slightly more optimistic today. This era is bullshit but it's our era. Fascism and greed will burn out and we'll resume building a better world.

Welp. Doom scrolling didn't make me feel any better.

Big winds blew down a section of our fence yesterday but on the plus side it's nice to have an open view of the snowy neighborhood.

Our hen named Amber is like the Cartman of chickens. Anytime I bring some kitchen scraps to the yard she chases off all the other chickens and eats the scraps and then I feed them some worms that she breaks off to hog all the worms. What a pig and yet I love her and serve her always.

No drink February! It's shorter than January. Also the weird thing on my eye is almost healed.

Powerful traitors can't stop us from being human, working together for a just society, establishing support networks, communicating by any and all means necessary. You can't truly control a society as big as the USA. Hold out hope against these small -minded pricks.

The The on Kexp, we saw them the next night. All these songs speak to the emotional state of the world right now, hitting the spot. Big Matt Johnson fan I am:

A big salute to everyone who's just barely hanging in there with the absurdity of life in these times. The news is pretty awful but we can make it through.

The 2 woman team running Jimmy John's today are killing it. Understaffed, under-payed but kicking ass. Don't forget to tip!
