Life These Days: A New Landscape
Above: a rare photograph capturing a difficult-to-visit and never-cleaned locale: the lair of an artistic genius and/or a feral creature hiding from his mother. Are the out-of-tune scales a reflection...
A Variety of Orders
I was in the shop the other day! This is both more rare and not as rare as I make it out to be, but this day was exceptional because I was replacing Jon for the day. Woo-hoo! Put me in, coach. Ready t...
New Shelves

I often putter around the Land of Existential Crisis, wallowing in the stagnation of inefficacy, Naomi throwing up in the night and then Tuna throwing up in the morning, me feeling generally repelled ...
Letter Writing Club
We had a Letter Writing Club at the shop this past week. What fun! It has been a long time since we did one of these. There’s not much to it, just coming and hanging out and writing a few letters. We ...
