I suppose I should be talking about people and myself more but in the meantime have some more photos with nobody in them.

Yankee Stadium and Snow

By hugh | Published: February 8, 2012

Now is the winter of our sports enthusiasm. We hate basketball because it’s ruled by tall people and the scores are too high. (Think about it.) Football is over and we only like it when the local team wins, and half the time it’s a field goal in the last two minutes. Congratulations to the [...]

Getting Straight on Hitchens

By hugh | Published: December 19, 2011

Christopher Hitchens left this mortal coil late last week before he could say goodbye to Vaclav Havel and Kim Jong Il. I was disturbed by all the eulogies that praised him effusively for having nought but wit, a profuse pen, and a big personality that worked well on cable news. So here are two essays [...]

Sideways

By hugh | Published: January 3, 2010

Rolling out old photos. It’s too cold. It hasn’t gone over 25° F for a few days and the stiff breeze hasn’t let up for most of that time and everyone can agree that wind chill is a bitch. Why is just wind chill and not chill index like its summery step-sister, the heat index? [...]

This Blog Versus That Blog

By hugh | Published: November 15, 2009

People ask me: “Why do you have a blog with photos and one-liners when you can do that stuff for free on facebook or even blogspot and tumblr?” You don’t really own anything you put on a site hosted by strangers. My photos are on photobucket for now but if I thought they were really [...]

Change of Scenery

By hugh | Published: October 23, 2009

As I mentioned earlier, I’m looking into an image change. Bear with me as I try on a few different WordPress themes. In the meantime, I’m also learning how to build themes from scratch.

I have a bunch of blogging to do besides everything else. In the meantime, this is my newish goatee. Thanks to Lynn for the photo.

Benchmarks

By hugh | Published: May 27, 2009

A life coach is a psychiatrist/therapist with a best (possibly a mild) seller and without a degree. Instead of having a whistle and making you do push-ups and laps and drills like a sports coach, they give you list-making exercises and paraphrase Bing Crosby songs in elaborate metaphors, ending with some variation of the punchline [...]

How Many Frames And Why Aren’t Any Circular?

By hugh | Published: April 20, 2009

Fill each with a story, link them all through coincidence and circumstance, and you’ve got a novel. Eureka. I’m just laughing at the way different people write and how many of them don’t.

One Dead Zine Scene

By hugh | Published: March 31, 2009

The Ding Dong Lounge hosted a ‘zine fair on Saturday. They didn’t do a very good job of promoting it as it seemed like only ‘zine publishers were in attendance slapping each other on the back and outnerding each other. If you want bar regulars to come in and hang around, you may not want [...]

I’m Not There (but I’m Free)

By hugh | Published: October 8, 2008

Be careful of shrinks. If you say the wrong thing (or the right thing depending on your point of view), they will call the cops and put you in the psych ward. There really are shrinks out there who view their job the same way an asshole cop does: whatever it takes to keep the [...]
