it's a good dog life if you don't weaken

Everyone take a short moment and let's all be silent for the passing of Ebony, the oldest dog I've ever had the privilege to know. 17 years old, to be exact, that dog was Methuselah and unless someone told you, you'd be hard pressed to figure out that bouncing stride and charming face of Ebony belonged to someone so old. I can't remember the first time I met Ebony, but I...

Vinny lives the dream

Just cause I goofed my way out of interviewing a literary hero, doesn't mean Vinny did. Read the entirety of his interview with the way-too-smart Jeannette Winterson here VF: Regarding your own creative process, do you keep anything around you when you work? Favorite pictures or anything like that? JW: No, I always work in a separate space than my domestic space--always have, always will. My studio is completely separate from my...

I acquiesce to Jeff's demands

"Don't call me a little man. I'm tired, I'm busy, the air conditioner is out and it's about 97 fucking degrees in Chicago today — don't call me a little man. Put that in your little blog, little man."...

the pumpkin and the peach: two bros

Jeff, drunk, basks in the sunset of Loleta, CA, backdropped by the Silver Shamrock factory "Welcome to Watch the Magic Pumpkin! We're happier than a werewolf in a girls dormitory here at WTMP, and we can't wait to finish what Teen People Magazine calls "The most exciting new Halloween III themed site on the whole Internet!" Check out the periodicals section as all entries have been hyperlinked to the actual articles....

watch the magic pumpkin

It's still early yet, but my friend Jeff promises this will be the internet's foremost resource for Halloween III enthusiasts. The first real conversation we had (at a bar) involved him asking me what I thought of Halloween III and me replying "Oh, that's one of the most hackneyed pieces of garbage..." after which he revealed it was his favorite film of all time. And in the 7 years since, rarely...

one of us

Hey, look. Vincent Francone (hi google!) has a blog now, apparently borne of his week manning the desk of the thoughtpeach.com team. Well....that and this: My father seems to have gone and gotten a spot on blogspot, which freaks me the fuck out. Again, I am really up a tree on this one. Who is this man who I call dad? Our man in Taiwan, DC, was once elected to join...

the greatest blog post ever told

So anyway, I get through my day of work, walking like Robocop and talking to people like a retarded beast and head home. I'm about three feet outside my office when a woman points at me and yells "OH MY GOD, LOOK AT ALL THOSE BEES!"...

furnace

Matt Glasson, good friend, rock star, tv host, co-conspirator and jack of all trades gets a blog and goes a-marching "I was considering heading up to central park for the potential rally/chaos on the great lawn, but I was tired and was out of memory on my camera. There was one group nice enough to offer free food at the end of the journey in Union Square, but after looking in their...

man of the people

Our man in Taiwan, Darin Cole Caudle, accounts for his Chinese New Year. He's been sending random transmissions from the other side of the planet, which should all wind up here at some point. This one, however, is lengthy and satisfying and like a whole story, so hop to it. He teaches English to little Taiwanese children, so he knows what he's doing. It wasn’t at all what I expected. I imagined...
