Not Reading Into Things

Posted on January 23, 2017January 23, 2017 Phrost

If someone from the past asked me what kind of culture we had in 2017, I’d explain how we sell fake books that people use to decorate their homes.

Repudiating 2016

Posted on December 19, 2016December 19, 2016 Phrost

  So you’re unhappy with how the past year played out. The people elected a tacky, crass demagogue whose grade-school language winks at racism in his speeches and incites bigotry and xenophobia. And emboldened by his example, the volume of other ugly voices has been

A Midnight Prediction

Posted on June 4, 2016June 4, 2016 Phrost

It’s 0018, just past midnight, and after a pouring a pot of coffee into my face over the last hour, my brain has been making a sort of chewing gum of the news I follow, to give itself something to do in the background while

Anti-Neo-Feudalism and Gun Control

Posted on October 9, 2015 Phrost

The difference between peasants and free men is that peasants are only allowed to bear arms in the service of their betters. The bulk of feudal peasants led lives that, for the time, were safe and comfortable; as long as they served the nobility well

Burning up and out

Posted on August 28, 2014August 29, 2014 Phrost

I had a short conversation with an Internet friend today, that stirred the coals of a sort of existesntialist burnout I’ve been feeling for a while now. She’s someone I only really know by her occasional posts on various threads, including mine, but whose opinions

The New York Animal in its Native Habitat

Posted on February 17, 2013February 17, 2013 Phrost

I don’t get why people think New Yorkers are rude; over the last few days I’ve found the exact opposite to be true, and there’s a damn good reason for it. A rock that sits in a river long enough won’t have very many sharp

Picking at a Luke-warm Corpse: My Last Visit to Borders

Posted on October 12, 2011October 12, 2011 Phrost

Getting all the meat off the bones, then going for the marrow… I’d meant to write this about a month ago; so while the timeliness of the post isn’t exactly optimal,  at least this is an exercise in following through. The sign read “everything up

English, I am Disappoint

Posted on August 10, 2011October 12, 2011 Phrost

Before we start, yes, I fully grasp the irony of what I’m about to write under the above, meme-derived title. On the way home from work today I mashed my car stereo’s “on” button and settled in for the return commute.  A few minutes into
