So a few nights back, my mom and I went to Forbidden Island, a Tiki Lounge in Alameda, CA. I’d been there many years before with my brother and (his) wife, where this interesting picture was taken:
This time, it was me and lovely mom standing at the bar, playing Zombie Dice and drinking the most spectacularly delicious blended drink I’ve ever had, called the Banana Mamacow. I don’t care what you think about the name, just go there and drink it. It is so smooth, you’ll fall over. Go do it. I’ll wait.

This is a personal website, and I enjoy producing content that removes mediocre playlist and comic ideas from my brain. However, I also try to write intelligently about linguistic topics, and sometimes the fluff of the fun posts can distract from my aspirational pursuits.
If you’d like to just read my discussions on linguistic topics, they can all be found HERE.
Thank you.

1. Smells Like Teen Spirit (cottonballs)
2. Lithium – The Bad Plus
3. Smells like Teen Spirit – The Bad Plus
P.S. I have no rights to the cotton ball version of Smells Like Teen Spirit. I have spent many internet minutes trying to find the original source… I found it on someone’s webpage back when geocities and myspace carried some weight. My guess is that the original hosting site no longer exists. If you have information about the artist, let me know. I genuinely love his cover.
