Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Feltron.com is back in fine form, Farmer Simon finds himself at a crossroads, and I am still recovering from the Conference-Plus-Staff-Retreat-Hotel-O-Rama in Boston last week.
For a few days I almost had myself convinced that all these years I've been sleeping 6-8 hours a night too many, but after several days in a row of hardly sleeping at all, I'm once again positive that down time in general is a very good thing. Case in point: I discovered these graphs a couple days ago and cannot fathom why I bothered to chart how many hours I had spent doing/wearing what, where, in the middle of the madness. Exhaustion-enduced insomnia, no doubt:
Back in SF, I find myself dodging comets with varying degrees of success. After he determined that I do in fact know what a blog is, The Tycoon (appearing nine years earlier than his previous elliptical pattern would have predicted) wondered aloud whether or not he should start one of his own. My immediate response was that he needs to stop thinking about the service he'd be doing to humanity by publishing his exploits on the web and accept blogging as a totally self-indulgent activity. This obviously says more about my attitude toward blogging than what a blog COULD be...
I feel moved to quote liberally from Farmer Simon, whom I hope to see in the next few days as he swings through SF:
...I find myself torn as to whether or not to continue this blog. I guess we could say that the blog is at a crossroads...if I continue, I may be further contributing to the immense amount of mediocre and trivial content on the internets. Ah fuck it, we must continue and in a few months if the content on this blog is completely boring at least there’ll be pictures of hot babes on the beach in Rio for you to look at.
Whether or not we manage to meet up in SF or Rio, I hope I'll be able to convince him he'll have much better things to do in Brazil than update his blog! I do suggest he keep up the culinary creativity, as evidenced by another sample from his blog:
Farmer Simon’s Eggplant (serves 2-3)Start with one medium sized eggplant. Peel the eggplant, and then grate into a large bowl. Dust eggplant with a small handful of salt, toss with hands, cover and let sit for fifteen minutes. In the meantime chill an eight ounce glass of milk in the fridge for an equal amount of time. Remove eggplant and milk from fridge. Pour glass of milk on eggplant. Then crush three 200mg aspirin with mortar and pestle (or alternately in a coffee grinder or between a strong thumb and forefinger) and sprinkle on top. Brand name aspirin is preferred but you may also substitute Walgreens, CVS, or any other generic alternative. Serve immediately in small soup bowls.

I won't post the photos of Jon in his grass skirt and coconut bra, but here's a Halloween photo of Noah for all you adoring fans. Since Vinyl's 10/29 gig at the Sweetwater, there have been EIGHT hits to this blog from people who are searching for him. Amazing.
