Compliments
Randomly generated compliments with a rosemary/veal sauce.
The Flood
A paranoid-critical "documentary" about the Ice Age floods that scoured much of Washington State around 15,000 years ago. I investigate this geologic wonder during a road trip where I come to believe that I should be able to tap into the collective unconscious and extrasensorially witness the deluge. I also freak out about caves and hotel rooms and Indian spirits.
Cuttin' Onions with Zemek
I try to show graffiti artist/gangsta-dude Zemek how to chop onions. Weirdness ensues.
Texas
Tea I meet Ash, a "pumper" from one of the many oil fields north of Pecos. He explains the mechanics of it all from pump jack to wellhead. This is rural Texas.
Atropos
Jesse's study of mid-winter, cabin fever minimalism.
Darlin'
Local band Darlin' plays Prago cafe in downtown Spokane. Angela Landsbury and Andy Griffin provide the subplot.
Vitt
A moment at the sautee station with the inimitable Joe
Vitt.
Cheeseburgers, baby!
A cultural icon lusts for that cultural apex of American cuisine.

Professor Terrington and Stik Mann search for the perfect haunted
house to use in a zombie movie - but Stik Mann has alterior motives.

P E R S O N A L S Met
you downtown.
You, in a wheelchair,
half-drunk.
Me, groomed and
well dressed
'cause it was my day off,
half-drunk.
You asked me to push you
to the House of Charity.
I lied and said I
didn't have time.
Later, someone set
you on fire
and you died.
I'm sorry.
