I Shop At Laney's, a strange novella by Jeff Johnson, on sale now for the holiday season
I haven’t had this much fun reading anything since I read True Grit years back. It’s an utterly original book with a wild strange plot made plausible by voice and setting details and exceptional writing. Overnight I find that I’m a Jeff Johnson fan. -World Fantasy Award Winner JAMES P. BLAYLOCK “…lowdown drunken partners on the realistic poverty road, what seems like fantasy for most of the…
Alien Romulus- A Movie Review
My wife and I watched this feckless, rambling video game/movie on Thanksgiving Day. We’re in scenic Da Nang, Vietnam, and we reasoned that a corny science fiction movie would be the taste of home we didn’t especially need. We were right. A plot summary- A handful of oily, greasy dipshit kids have a space ship and they discover some corporate treasure drifting past the shit hole planet they live…
Bessara, a breakfast fava bean soup
I had no idea why I was in Morocco. The woman I was dating was maybe ten years older than I was at the time. She was also a belly dancer. This already strains credibility, but it’s sadly true, as anyone who knows me can attest. I was 19 or 20, a stoned punk kid surfing the nerve-wracking beginnings of a tattoo career- exactly the kind of enterprising young shithead who goes to…

Esparza's Tex Mex, A Portland Legend And Home Of The Greatest Chili Colorado
The Thursday special Chile Colorado at Esparza’s Tex Mex Esparza’s Tex Mex in Portland, Oregon had, in my humble opinion, the greatest Chile Colorado ever plated. Esparza’s itself was magnificent, and to roll in there on a January night, when it was raining and cold, was always a treat. There was a mad collection of marionette puppets hanging from the ceiling, stuffed armadillos and beer neon on…

Airport Meatloaf! Life is what you make of it.
Meatloaf is the kind of food you can fuck with the hardest. I’m making it today and using a recipe that’s changed over time and will likely keep on doing so. For some time, I used half ground beef, half ground pork. Consider it. I added green chili for years but now I don’t. Mess with it, but don’t eat it all the time. And whatever you land on should reflect what you plan to do with the…

The Dream Weavers of Buena Park
It was a hot 4th of July, and last night I rode it out in the AC, watching TV with my sweet little wife. Around ten the tune Dream Weaver popped into the credits of Killing It and ozone flooded my sinuses. I hadn’t heard that tune in years, and maybe it was the heat of the day, maybe the faint smell of gunpowder, who knows, but for a moment I was transported, quite vividly, back to Buena Park,…

Closer Than A Spider
I read somewhere that most people are never more than eight feet away from a spider at any time in their lives. The arachnids are that successful a species, that prolific and diversified. Even when you’re sitting in an airplane or lounging on the deck of an ocean liner, at least one of them is within easy striking distance. The artist, an intellectual sub-species of humanity, puts…

Imagine, if you dare, a world without the arts...
Imagine, if you dare, a world without the arts. We live in hive buildings, dress in gray gunny sacks, and since there are no books, no music, movies, or television, we watch the news until it’s time to eat our tasteless slop. No tattoos, no fashion of any kind- we are lumpy. There are no paintings in our cubes within the hive, just a gray bed, a gray bowl, a gray spoon. If you’re in that weird…

New Shows For The Breaking Bad Universe
Don’t give up on yourself, people of the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul World. We see it all the time in life, you know what I mean. The chef who becomes tender with age and rather than flay cows he monkeys with cauliflower. The old con man who retreats to his den and in the end lies only to himself. The skater who takes up video games after one brush with a bumper too many. All tragic, but here I…

WOLF PACK on Paramount+ A Review
Every rare once in a while I see an exceptionally dumb TV show, one so sluggish and dithering that I make caveman sounds at the TV. Wolf Pack is such a show. The plot is epic crayola on toilet paper, so I can’t really simplify it for the sake of this blog. It’s that simple already so here it is- A mean cabbage chick, very frowny, and a head case creampuff dork get all bit up by a CGI werewolf.…

The Stories We Keep
Years ago now, I was tattooing this gnarly old hippy and he asked me what happened to my ear. It surprised me a little. I shrugged and said time and poor impulse control. He liked that, but he clearly wanted a story, so I asked him how he got the ancient scar that cut from the edge of his upper lip up toward his ear. “Ah, that.” He nodded. “It was the early 70’s and I was in Northern California…

The Nova Christmas
The holidays are different things for different people, and the entire occasion is colored by the highlights of the past. For me, the Christmas that set the bar and formed a high water line I’m not likely to surpass in this life was what I think of as The Nova Christmas. It was some 25 years ago and it was Christmas Eve. It was snowing in Portland and the roads were empty. No one was out. At…

House of the Dragon - A review
House of the Dragon – A review
I just finished watching the latest suckisode of House of the Dragon, the one where King Rotting Dude is dying. Episode 8, I believe, is my last one. This show is disgusting in the same ways as GOT, but, and this is important, there are no interesting characters. Aristocrats are all sorta boring, really- they don’t know how to do anything, what they try to do they’re bad at, and they seem…

Quantum Leap 2022- A Review
Quantum Leap 2022- A Review
The impossible does happen. Once I was sitting on my front porch filing one of my front teeth. Tiny little chip, not the kind of thing I needed to flush a grand on at some hack dentist front, so there I was. My neighbor Nathan (it was a duplex) was there drinking beer and cheering me on when our landlord appeared. He was a retired lawyer turned finger sniffing weekend biker and he scoffed at…

Recognizing The Good Old Days When They're Now
Recognizing The Good Old Days When They’re Now
How do you relish a period you will later look back on as the good old days? Hard to say. How do you even know you’re in one of those periods? Also challenging. I slyly interviewed some of the big thinkers in my circle (a music producer, a very clever writer, a professional artist) and here are the results. To begin with, everyone agreed with my description of ‘the good old days’. There are…
