February 1, 1996

The fat child stuck her tongue out at Henry. The father made a waving, dismissive motion with his hand. Henry stacked the plates and carried them to the kitchen.

Aliens Got My Mom! – Fiction

Nathan thought of Jake Fist. Jake was cool. Jake could handle fleshy-headed mutants. Jake wasn’t afraid to walk to the bathroom if he had to pee really badly.

December 1, 1995

Whoever thought it would be a good idea for a bunch of shitty bands to cover Thin Lizzy tunes must be at least partially insane.

Peach – II – Review

Another band from Seattle that sounds just like a band from Seattle. I’d throw some names around, but I don’t really want to.

Each tune is a little different from the last and they all kick ass. Hardcore, rock, rap, funk, cool samples, a wah-wah pedal, and assorted hilarious shit.

JRZ System – Review

December 1, 1995

Imagine a somewhat pissed-off Joe Satriani leading a ferocious hard-funk trio. Sometimes angry, sometimes melodic, but always in the groove.

October 1, 1995

Over the summer, I applied for a job at The Sharper Image, thinking, “This is cool, I’ll wear a tie and play with toys in air-conditioning.”
