Assorted bullshit about video games, language, music, and some other unabashedly personal shit. And maybe some stuff that's kind of funny? I don't know. I just don't fucking know, alright? Would you give me a fucking break? Jesus, Mom.

You can also find me:

I also write Britishisms, a blog about moving to the US, and Tuneage, a music blog I co-founded. I curate Give Me Something to Read. I started Word Journal, and I occasionally contribute to The Small Picture.

My combined contribution to You Look Nice Today’s Song Parts Dot Biz business, representing the best parts of 46 different songs, conveniently trimmed down to less than 9 minutes. (right-click, Save As)

This took a very long time, and should indicate clearly why I’m not in the music business.

I dare you to name all of the songs. Here’s a video that numbers them all for easy reference.

Admit it, you’re aroused, aren’t you?

With Heather’s help, I was able to get Greenday (2), which I was infuriatingly unable to place, and I’m sure I know 4 or 5 more of these, but I’m terrible at remembering song titles and artists (it took 3 listens of a few of these to remember them). And yes, I’m embarrassed that I couldn’t name a single one before Pearl Jam.
