I’ve been somewhat MIA these past few days because I finally launched a new project I’d been planning for a while – a Spanish-language blog. I saw a need, and went for it! My Spanish has gotten rusty over the years, so it’s also great practice for me. If you speak Spanish, or know of anyone that might be interested in something like that, please check it out: Según Mamá (means “According to Mom”) Marsy’s birthday was over the weekend, and we celebrated like crazy!

It’s kinda like trying to hide an elephant with a napkin. Here you go again…. Bill Corgan can’t go a week without doing or saying something stupid to get himself into the press. Yo dude- the nineties are over for real! We’re sorry no one gives a fuck about you and the three 19 year-olds you’re trying to pass off as “The Smashing Pumpkins” just because your ego says it’s still cool.
