Given a printed form, you used to be able to feed it into your typewriter and type the form data. You can't do that any more. Today, if your doctor's office hands you a printed form to fill out, you have no ... http://phineas.kimbo.org/2009/12/01/a-thing-you-cant-do-anymore/ Martinis last night. Why martinis? Could it be Mad Men fever? Actually, it was because of Julie and Julia. They were drinking Martinis in just about every scene. So after the movie, Julie and I (the real Julie) went to CostPlus to obtain the paraphrenelia. Then we went to Safeway to ... http://phineas.kimbo.org/2009/08/30/martinis/ You'll have to take my word for it, but I drew these cartoon characters before I ever saw the Simpsons. [caption id="attachment_556" align="alignnone" width="350" caption="Not Homer, Not Marge"][/caption] The Simpsons first appeared on the Tracy Ullman Show in 1987, which I definitely did see. But I drew and conceived of these characters ... http://phineas.kimbo.org/2009/08/16/not-homer-not-marge/ One slightly negative thing about my Lyell Canyon hike: One person that I had spammed to ask for support for my "Restore Hetch Hetchy" pledge hike decided to reply to that by being a dick. A dick is not someone who declines to support, or even who disagrees with the ... http://phineas.kimbo.org/2009/08/10/hetch-hetchy-thoughts/ We're back at sea level -- the air is so thick and balmy compared with 10000 ft! Terry and I hiked 10 miles into Lyell Canyon (basically to the end of the meadowy part halfway up the switchbacks to Donohue Pass). So it was basically about 25mile hike in total, ... http://phineas.kimbo.org/2009/08/10/lylle-canyon-hike/ http://phineas.kimbo.org/2009/05/25/fake-it/ The best Margarita in Alberta? The best sushi in Florence? The best Mexican food in Shanghai? The best bacon burger in Calcutta? Best canolli in Rio? Best falafel in Bangkok? Take that concept, add one obnoxious anti-social snob and you've got yourself a show! http://phineas.kimbo.org/2009/05/16/idea-for-travel-food-show/ Down the old Santa Fe trail sits La Fonda Hotel. Old lady: "Oh, look, it's Jane Fonda's hotel." Old man: "Hanoi Jane? I'm not going in there." http://phineas.kimbo.org/2009/04/17/overheard-on-the-plaza-in-santa-fe/ I'm re-organizing my music a little bit. I dropped my "Cowboy of Hope" blog and plan to just drop my tunes here as "Pages". For now the "Music" tab above gives the playlist with everything. I'll create a dedicated page for each song with liner notes eventually. Here's the starter ... http://phineas.kimbo.org/2009/03/30/music-re-org/ Here's a new one: Character is in a situation that triggers a memory. Now we go with that character into the memory for a while, a minute, two 30 seconds, whatever, but it's long enough to shift context and follow a sub-narrative.
