• How is the Year Almost Over? (Welcome to Nothing Week)

  Well, hellloooo. And welcome to my favorite week of the year – the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day. That weird in-between time/no-time where no one is working or doing anything productive. We’re all just lying around, embracing full decay mode. Just like all the memes on social media have suggested. We’ve certainly been…

• Friday Links: Anti-Valentine’s Edition

  To quote some crazy dude in Japan’s Revolutionary Alliance of Men That Woman Are Not Attracted To: “The blood-soaked conspiracy of Valentine’s Day, driven by the oppressive chocolate capitalists, has arrived once again.” I really couldn’t have said it better myself. Although, I do confess a certain fondness for chocolate capitalists. Some links to help…

• Time Travel to Another Naples: The Bourbon Tunnel

  In Italy, December 8 is a national holiday. Something about a feast and some reception and being really, really clean, like immaculate. I don’t know all the details, but there was a parade with red banners and gold fringe. And a lot of offices and government buildings were closed, and everybody was out and about,…

• It Wouldn’t Be Christmas Without Vegas and Sharks

  Well, hello there, good lookin’. I’m back from the non-stop holidaying extravaganza! As, I suppose, we all are, regrettably. Oh well. #TheStruggleIsReal My main man-panion XFE took some time off during the holidays so we ate many, many great, decadent, meaty things, and drank many a delicious wine and cocktail (mostly made with gins-of-the-world, a…

• Friday Links: Fall Blows Edition

  I’m on a bit of a self-imposed shopping hiatus right now, but if I weren’t, I’d be plunking down some cash for the burgundy version of these wedge booties featured on Cardigans and Couture this week. This post from last year continues to perform really well on thePoeLog. I believe that it’s because it contains…

• Two Bald Boys and a Brisket

  Great Texas brisket can be a life-altering experience, right up there with shaving one’s head or birthing a child. All three of those life-altering experiences played into our Memorial Day weekend. Before you get all excited, my personal pitmaster-for-life XFE and I are responsible for the brisket, but not the baby. Well, sorta. We started…
