Holy crap! The Snook and I were both awakened late last night by a tremendous boom that rattled our bedroom window. “What the hell was that?” I mumbled as we went back to sleep. My addled brain chalked it up to a car backfiring or the people upstairs dropping something large. Turns out it was a huge-ass gas explosion at Nando’s about two blocks away!

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.

scary, the place is totalled! we lived about a block from there – i would of crapped my pants
It’s like that block is cursed. First Barney’s burns down, then Nando’s blows up! Next year I fully expect Cafe Ottimo to be hit by a meteor.
Ummm does anyone remember The Phoenician Club that used to be on that corner.
Maybe it’s just the legacy of some of the former bands/artists that played their – AC/DC, Nirvana, Jeff Buckley.
All bought undone by the Anna Wood Incident
The curse continues?

Ha. Like three people have sent me that story in the past fifteen minutes! I am Ye Olde Chronicler of the Curse of Ultimo.
