Fenced In
Some kid almost died in my backyard today.
OK, not quite.
A “fencer” — that is, a young dude that works for the company putting in our new fence — took a 3” nail in the back from his co-fencer’s high-powered nail gun.
It missed his spine by a few inches. Nothing but empty space back there, right?
I didn’t even notice the ambulance. I was up in my...
“Thrum” is one of my favorite words.

Some Unpopular Opinions?
kaseyanderson:
I don’t care for Radiohead.
I don’t give a shit what Roger Ebert thinks about anything.
I don’t much enjoy going to the beach.
Aside from all of Breaking the Waves, nothing in any of Lars Von Trier’s films has stuck with me for longer than 24 hours.
I have failed many times to give a shit about Radiohead, I find the beach boring, and von Trier is an overrated fuckface whose...
WatchKickstarter: The Luckiest Shauna
This is a documentary that my good friend Shauna is making about her search for the woman she was named after — the winner on Wheel of Fortune the day she was born.
Please support this project if you can. I’ve talked to her about the documentary and it’s shaping up to be a pretty rad little project.

End of the World
Unforgiveable. It took me ALMOST AN ENTIRE MINUTE to figure out where everything was on the dashboard. ONE EXTRA CLICK TO FIND OUT HOW MANY FOLLOWERS I HAVE? Unreal. Just an abomination. There’s only one word for it, and it is “holocausty.” I mean, have they no SHAME?
Give me my money back and stay the fuck out of my Medicare.
