Squatters in Support of Commuter Inaction

January 22, 2017

I had an epiphany. On the toilet. For some reason, the gods of enlightenment prefer to strike when I’m taking a dump. I think they just like watching me try to scribble manifestos out on toilet-paper. At least it’s two-ply. So I’m sitting there—squatting there actually (Squatty Potty FTW).

So I Saw: Radiohead 6/10/2012 @ First Midwest Bank Ampitheater, Tinley Park, IL

June 17, 2012

Though I have been a Radiohead fan for thirteen years, since 1999, I have never been to a Radiohead show before, something I had always sought to remedy, I wouldn’t miss this for anything, even the long drive, and the fact that my next day begins at 5:00am. Radiohead: June 10, 2012 setlist. (You can […]
