July 4th, 2008 · No Comments · detroit, random thoughts, whatever

I Hate Red Tape

May 8th, 2008 · No Comments · How To Annoy Me, detroit, owning a home

I could have taken the easy way out on my porch project, but I didn’t. I could have put ugly green Astroturf to hide the crumbling steps, jammed a bunch of concrete into the part on the side crumbling and painted it, or just fucking stuck a huge flower pot in front of it to [...]

December 28th, 2007 · 4 Comments · How To Annoy Me, detroit, reviews

As a kid, I loved watching the old Transformers cartoon, I had Transformers toys, and thought Transformers were better than GI Joe (blasphemy, I know).
I got C an up-converting DVD player for Christmas, and we thought what better movie to test out 1080i on our TV than with the Michael Bay directed 2007 live action/CG [...]

I’ve got Detroit love

You know the old saying, nothing good happens after 2am? Don’t believe it… We went out Saturday night to THE Detroit afterhours spot, the Fi-nite Gallery in Corktown (a block from old Tiger Stadium) to see Kevin Saunderson play, and he did not disappoint.
