The Home-Grown Project (updated) →
I just updated the Home-Grown Project page with photos of this year’s planting. It’s at the bottom. Not nearly as ambitious as last year, but at least I’ll use everything I plant.
“I know everything there is to know about the greatest game ever invented.”
– One last one from Dennis Hopper, this time as Wilbur “Shooter” Flatch in Hoosiers, arguably the best sports movie ever made. I can’t be certain, because I’ve never seen it all the way through, but Those I Trust tell me it is so.
“Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!”
– Dennis Hopper, Blue Velvet
“No, your mother…is not crazy. And neither, contrary to popular belief, is...”
– Dennis Hopper, Rumble Fish
“What the hell is wrong with freedom? That’s what it’s all about.”

“Son of a bitch was right. She tastes like a peach.”
– Dennis Hopper, True Romance
“What are they gonna say about him? He was a kind man? He was a wise man? He had...”

Stop belittling Middle America, Hollywood...
Today, I planted organic vegetables in my patio garden, wrote a long email to a friend on my iPad in an independent coffee shop that donates all their tips to charity, relieved myself in two different chain bookstore restrooms, and am about to go see a standup comedian who’s a lesbian.

“I was not in a mood for idle conversation. The day had been ugly and my heart...”
– Hunter S. Thompson, “Nixon and the Whale Woman” from Generation Of Swine: Tales Of Shame And Degradation In The ’80s
Whatever plans I had tonight have been derailed by an impromptu Matthew Sweet listening party. Only on the second track (“Super Baby” from the awesome 100% Fun), but there are easily another two dozen I can’t not listen to right this very second.
Visqueen, “So Long” from Message To...

The Big Trip →
My big moving-to-Tumblr project was to get my travel diary, The Big Trip, written over a month during a 9,000-mile epic road trip I took, posted here. So, uh, I did that. Check it out. Pride isn’t the right word for what I think about it, but it’s close.
plowohio asked: what happened to that twitter feed widget thing on your page, and where did you get it from?
The Ryan Heise Collection: Waxing hypothetical →
If I quit Facebook, how will I: get invited to events that I’m guaranteed not to attend?
read articles that make you disgusted?
