I Watched The Matrix On LSD – Send Help

drugs

It’s a beautiful summer Friday at the beach and I want to do something on drugs right now.

I should point out that in this post I am 100% condoning drug use.  If you want to go skydiving or street-luging, I support that, too.  Euthanasia?  I won’t stop you.  I am very pro-choice when . . . → Read More: I Watched The Matrix On LSD – Send Help

So if you have not Raptured by 7pm Saturday, you are invited to attend Our Thursday’s blasphemous . . . → Read More: Announcement: OC Live Show 5/21!

Cat Calls

Hello? Felix?

Calling people is weird. So glad we text stuff now. Talking in real time gives me the willies. I feel like I should have flash cards or a TiVo remote in case I don’t know what to do. But some people are pros at it. . . . → Read More: Cat Calls
