I'm not going to complain about all the northern lights pictures, because if it hadn't been overcast here, I definitely would have been out taking pictures, and I would have posted them by now.

Question: Does AI stand for "a idiot"? Just asking questions.

Why on earth would you call your autobiography β€œThe Smell of Ears”?

My grandfather always said β€œHaste makes waste, and wise men eat it.”

Don't pretend you don't know what I mean.

Sean Bean is to Orson Bean as Rip Torn is to Rip Taylor.

You are wise not to do so, but for a different reason. This sound gets its name from the fact that, like Herbert Hoover, it can worsen an economic downturn.

I feel like Chicagoans have a special relationship with that piece, because the orchestra would always play it at the big fireworks display in Grant Park.

Shockingly busy at the polling place too. I think people are fired up.

Felt weird voting for a candidate I genuinely like. I could get used to this! Although I probably shouldn't.

Stupid typo. Gonna delete and repost.

Oh wait, that’s the theme song of β€œThe Wire,” not β€œThe Sopranos.” So this dumb joke doesn’t even make sense!

Makes sense. I bet if my next door neighbor was Tony Soprano, I'd have "Way Down in the Hole" in my head a lot.

Ah, but see that’s where you’re wrong! The real democrats are the ones who are out of step with their voting base.

The lyrics to Tom Waits’s β€œWhat’s He Building?,” which are as follows:

What's he building in there?
What the hell is he building in there?
He has subscriptions to those magazines
He never waves when he goes by
He's hiding something from the rest of us
He's all to himself
I think I know why
He took down the tire swing from the pepper tree
He has no children of his own, you see He has no dog, he has no friends And his lawn is dying
And what about all those packages he sends?
What's he building in there?
With that hook light on the stairs
What's he building in there?
I'll tell you one thing, he's not building a playhouse for the children
What's he building in there?
Now what's that sound from underneath the door?
He's pounding nails into a hardwood floor
I swear to God, I heard someone moaning low I keep seeing the blue light of a TV show
He has a router and a table saw
And you won't believe what Mr. Sticha saw There's poison underneath the sink, of course But there's also enough formaldehyde to choke a horse
What's he building in there?
What the hell is he building in there?
I heard he has an ex-wife In some place called Mayor's Income, Tennessee And he used to have a consulting business in Indonesia But what's he building in there?

This is probably the creepiest Shel Silverstein poem.

I can't tell if these are true homophones or not. Interesting!

This Halloween, do yourself a favor and listen to β€œBonin’ in the Boneyard” by Fishbone.

You can write a script in R. That will probably help.

This is why those who make instrumental music should ideally be confused, deceptive, and even repulsive.

I only stayed two years, though. Wound up moving to Upper Manhattan. Still miss the restaurants and the ridiculous diversity (our corner of Astoria wasn't very Greek; it was more Bangladeshi, Ecuadorian, Brazilian, Yemeni, Croatian, and Tibetan).
