I have become a serial book killer.

Mr. T vs. the Safeway Artisan

The actual confrontation between Mr. T and my lunch
I pity the fool who eats one of these tuna sandwiches from Randalls, which is the Austin name for a Texas supermarket chain that calls itself “Tom Thumb” in Dallas and Houston. Whatever; they’re all Safeways, and a Safeway by any other name would suck as hard.

Sybil

Common house spider dispatching a leafhopper in the Twisty Windowsill, July 2005
Regular readers will have surmised by now that I am the laziest muthafucka in all of Texas. To a mind like mine–a mind which, in one’s spare time, one might liken, if not to a colander, at least to a chinois strainer–any elevated state […]
