Did two kick-ass interviews for the next season of Rebel Spirit today, including perhaps one of my favorite quotes ever: "One of my hobbies is killing dead confederates." Yes, sign me up for that hobby as well.

Spent most of my day today dredging some kind of eldritch horror up from my bathtub drain. Missed all the nice weather, not a fair trade.

You probably missed it this weekend what with literally everything happening at once, but I wrote a piece about subculture, collective action, this fucked moment, and The Goonies. I was lonely and scared that summer and not sure where I fit, or how I fit, or if I fit, and here was a voice telling me that there was a place for me after all, but it wasn't above ground. It was down underneath it all, where the surface ends and your life begins.
