Lake Effect links to a hilarious and spot-on parody of both “Peanuts” and the Smashing Pumpkins… “Smashing Peanuts”. I really liked some of the Pumpkins’ music, but I never really got into them. I think it had something to do with Billy Corgan’s incredibly scary birthmark that covered, like, 90% of his body. And my 11th grade boyfriend’s snotty assertion that D’arcy was a shit bass player and Corgan wrote everything. (I know now that he was right, but he was only saying it because she was a girl, not because he knew any better.) And how much do I love that Snoopy uses a Mac?
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
