Club Dredd. We finally got to play Club Dredd. Hold on while I try and come to grips with that seemingly insignificant piece of information. FMD, fronting in Jeepney Joyride’s official album launch, played at Club Dredd. I played at Club Dredd.
Sure, not the Dredd of old, but it’s still Club Dredd. Ever since I [...]
Dredd, finally
Malu Fernandez resigns because of death threats?
Reports from, well, everywhere, really, would seem to indicate that Malu Fernandez has resigned from both the Manila Standard and People Asia. Everywhere, that is, except from Manila Standard or People Asia. One thing that stood out among the many reasons she supposedly gave is that she’s been the target of death threats.
I don’t particularly [...]
On Malu Fernandez: Why I’m angry
Much has been said, and even more mud has been tossed, regarding the acerbic wit of Malu Fernandez and her detractors. I’ve presented my one peso (roughly 2 cents) on the matter. Others, weighing in, have taken the high road, a path that I, not unlike Robert Frost, often wax romantic about but very seldom [...]
On Malu Fernandez: we have feelings too you know
Late to the fray again — playing gigs as much as I can before I bid Manila adieu — but as I’ve always maintained, there can be no statute of limitations on outrage. So after finally catching up on my RSS reader, I came across this little tidbit about an article published in People [...]
What gets me through the day
There is a sublime pleasure involved in letting acrid smoke pass through my nostrils, down to my lungs, holding it in for a moment, and exhaling, with the lingering hint of menthol around my inner cheeks as I down a glass of ice-cold cola. I’ve abused my share of (legal, wink wink) substances, but nothing [...]
A rock and a rockin’ place
Funny thing happened on my way to work earlier: I was running late, and decided to spring for a cab because, well, traffic’s always heavy when I commute, and I figured I’d take to the side streets and shortcuts to get there faster. But the cabbie says everything’s OK in EDSA; I tried to think [...]
Touch of Grey
That’s it. The weather’s gone to the dogs. The rain’s been pretty much off and on until today, where it pretty much rained all day. With the way the wind is blowing, it’s even threatening to ruin my challenge of a lifetime on Saturday, as according to the Philippine Weather Bureau (PAGASA) bulletin, issued 5:00 [...]
My James Blunt moment
You know how a song or a movie can sometimes quantify an overly complex series of emotions so accurately and so completely that when you feel it, you can’t help but hear the song or play that scene in your head?
Well, yesterday was my James Blunt moment. Instant freaking LSS on “You’re Beautiful”, because it’s [...]
Because it is there
Speaking in front of reporters for what would seemingly have been the thousandth time, George Mallory gives the almost snide, immortal response to the question “why climb Mt. Everest”: because it is there. Now, 84 years later, one man looks back at what Mallory must have faced when attempting to tame the wildest frontier known [...]
Redesign! Redesign! Ooooh!
Slight disclaimer: not debugged in IE. Expect breakage. Or get Firefox :mrgreen: It doesn’t validate — yet — but you can bet your baby blues I’m working on it. There’s still some errant javascript. That said, it *should* look right.
I was supposed to be doing something different — another theme for a friend’s site to [...]
