this is a _thing_


The Taco Friday management is pleased to deliver a special message on behalf of the Taco Friday team:


On this upcoming Taco Friday on Friday, February 26th, will be hosted by none other than your friend and mine, Jay Pyle. These "away games" are indeed very special. I get to drink as much as I want to, without worrying about becoming so intoxicated that I can't stop guests from stealing my copper wiring. The fear of drinking so much that I can't maintain an erection, however, is legitimate and persists.

According to inside sources, fish tacos will be served and Blade Runner will be screened. Jay can be located at 135 Central St., #5 in Somerville. Questions? Send 'em here. General Taco Friday inquiries can be directed to the Taco Friday Customer Service Email Node. We Care About You.

One more as we round the bend

This is the wise wantonness and benevolence of my soul: it does not hide its winter and frosty storms; neither does it hide its chilblains.

Let them pity me and sigh with me over my chilblains: 'He will yet freeze to death on the ice of knowledge!' — so they wail.

In the meanwhile, I run with warm feet hither and thither upon my mountain of olives: in the sunny corner of my mount of olives do I sing and mock all pity.

Thus sang Zarathustra.


Thus Spoke Zarathustra, "On the Mount of Olives"


I remind you that I have no idea if you are reading this. Kindly tell me if you may be attending or else maybe, horror of horrors, there are not enough tacos. Always enough bourbon, though.

do i make mistakes in my sleep


Taco Friday: Friday, February 19th


Fully caffeinated, we're back in the saddle. Taco Friday is coming up, and you are warned a full six days in advance. I would usually use this opportunity to describe the next Taco Friday theme, but alas, there is none this week. Just regular nonsense, fueled with the boredom of the past five days and also whiskey.

For those of you who are new to Taco Friday, I am not going to spoil the fun by telling you what the deal is; you've got to find that out on your own. However, I will say that though you may think it so, it is improper to say that the universe is a cruel place; cruelty implies intention. Instead, the universe is as vast in scale as it is in meaninglessness. There are two common reactions to this fact. One of them is Taco Friday, and the other is suicide.

Taco Friday offers not only food for the body, but food for the soul.* Also there is whiskey.



* Souls aren't real things.

I feel we're not communicating

Dear the internet,

You make me mad sometimes. It's in the little things, nothing that I can point to specifically, but more an overall trend that is heading in the dead wrong direction.


I'm just worried that we're going to hurt each other in the end. Maybe... maybe it's best that we just take a break. No, no. Not to see other people, but j-just to take some time apart. Think about thi-



See this is exactly what I'm talking about. I try to have a serious conversation and you start this shit out of nowh-



Fine, whatever, I'm out of here. Rent's due on Friday.
