The Anecdotal Antidote: September 2006

http://anecdotal-antidote.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 12, 2006. My history as a reader used to be pretty simple: I loved to read as a kid (probably the only thing that got me through school) and went on to read pretty voraciously for another two decades. Somewhere in there was a switch from reading only fiction (except as required by college) to reading only non-fiction. Left unfinished after 200 or 100 or 10 pages, and often unread altogether. Well, this fall I've made it my goal to get back on track and, dammit, read. Spent reading....

The Anecdotal Antidote: Won't It Be Strange When We're All Fully Grown?

http://anecdotal-antidote.blogspot.com/2006/08/wont-it-be-strange-when-were-all-fully.html

Wednesday, August 16, 2006. Won't It Be Strange When We're All Fully Grown? My sister had been talking up her Fifth Grade Teacher to me as ‘my most favourite teacher *ever*’ for a good two years, so when Fifth Grade finally rolled around for me, I was naturally pleased to be assigned the same man, and came home smugly singing of my luck to the gods above. She just had to say *something* to rain on my parade, so did. What else are Big Sisters for? I frowned. So? I can do better. I explained the assignment...

The Anecdotal Antidote: DJ Culture (Part 3)

http://anecdotal-antidote.blogspot.com/2006/09/dj-culture-part-3.html

Tuesday, September 12, 2006. DJ Culture (Part 3). It was 1989, and my friend Keaton had bought the Number One record in the country, a waste of vinyl called ‘Swing The Mood’ by a fictitious group named ‘Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers’. If you haven’t heard it, be very glad. It’s basically a bunch of sampled sections of early rock and roll songs and Glenn Miller’s In The Mood played over a cheap drum machine rhythm. This is the coolest record ever, he said, somewhat hyperbolically, as he put it on. Swing...

The Anecdotal Antidote: Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt! Part 1

http://anecdotal-antidote.blogspot.com/2006/08/awesome-possum-kicks-dr-machinos-butt.html

Monday, August 21, 2006. Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt! There’s a Part 2 to this that I’ll post next week, since I realise this is fairly. Long as it is, and don’t want to take over the Blog. The turnaround was quick. Once seen as a stroke of genius and the natural evolution of the idea of ‘the High Concept’, the title is now being singled out as a reason for its failure:. Seen and laughed over on a forum a while ago: I’m a Hardcore WOW Player. I’m Korean LAN Party Hardcore! Think about this fo...

The Anecdotal Antidote: August 2006

http://anecdotal-antidote.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 25, 2006. The Genesis and Progress of Genius or Orson Welles on the Road to Xanadu. Genius has a shelf life. In the arts, at any rate, geniuses blossom and thrive for a set number of years and then their powers begin to decline, gradually and over decades for the lucky, sharply and precipitously for the unlucky or those, like Hemingway, who wasted their energies and gifts. Instead he was finished at about the time most great geniuses are just beginning to produce their best work. The secon...

The Anecdotal Antidote: Half A Page of Scribbled Lines

http://anecdotal-antidote.blogspot.com/2006/11/half-page-of-scribbled-lines.html

Friday, November 17, 2006. Half A Page of Scribbled Lines. The Anecdotal Antidote was an idea I had early this year. My intention was to create a blog comprising a wide variety of good people and excellent writers that I'd met surfing the liberal blogs. The theme was to create an upbeat, non-political blogozine. That would feature posts about art, music, food, family, work and play. It didn't work out. Blue Girl in a Red State. Posted by Mike at 4:40 AM. Links to this post:. Giving Credit Where Due.
