shep. and I are into holiday lights, so we drove to Beaufort to look at boats with lights on. The boats with lights on were excellent, would look again. Full set here.

basketball: northwestern @ unc
The final was NU 85, Heels 72, but make no mistake: it was not that close. This game was an absolute ass-whooping from the start at the hands of a bigger, more experienced Northwestern team, but I have to say — the last ten minutes, when the Heels finally pulled together and fought back to as…
review: epiphanie camera bag “catalina”
When Butthead McStealy ripped us off back in July, one of the things he took was my beloved, battered Epiphanie Sydney camera bag. (Along with all my collected press passes, a brand new box of business cards, all my spare memory cards, my emergency kazoo, my 50mm lens … I kept a lot of stuff in…
cleaning out the drafts folder
From the last 18 months, a bunch of record reviews I didn’t finish writing. You, too, can wonder where they were going! You can try to figure out why I was so bad at blogging last year! You can hope that I am better at this shit next year! First up, some two sentence reviews…
top 10: favorite albums of 2014
Yeah. 2014. This is late. I wrote it and never posted it and I have no idea why, but here you go, mostly because I’m trying to put together my 2015 list soon anyway. Must clean up the drafts folder! 2014 was a hard, hard year, and the place it suffered most was my music…
life list: thanksgiving dinner
48. Cook a full Thanksgiving dinner for friends and family (including a turkey in the oven). I had forgotten that this was on my life list until a few weeks ago, but damn if Trav and shep. and Clea and Erin and I didn’t cross it off like a boss yesterday. Recipes I made: Tangy…
this wouldn’t happen to be your frozen turkey
Dana Whitaker: I’ve named this Thanksgiving. I’m calling it “The Thanksgiving of Mom’s Disapproval.” Included on the 2-record set are the hit songs “Why Aren’t You Married?” And “Sports Is No Place for an Educated Woman” and “Didn’t Anyone Ever Tell You How to Cook a Turkey?” — Sports Night 1×8, “Thespis” The Maternal Unit…
families: angel, bev & gavin
Had the pleasure of spending some time on Sunday with my coworker Angel, his fabulous wife Bev, and their four month old son Gavin. It’s a step toward a venture I’m hoping to launch in early February, if you want to take a guess.
slingshot cash house show
House shows can mean different things; on Saturday night, it meant a real stage on a lovely back patio, great food, good company. Obviously I’ve been watching Slingshot Cash play in various iterations for years now, but damn, y’all, I’m not just saying this because I’m fond of those dudes: they are sounding really, really…
naismith hall of fame challenge 2015
The Heels hosted the first round of the Naismith Hall of Fame Challenge at Carmichael this weekend, welcoming Fairleigh Dickinson, Iona, and Yale for a round robin tournament. UNC won all three of their games, though all three were also pretty tough fights. It’s good to see some more of the team, including the much…
