reddit!DEAR READER,
We're right in the middle of the "dog days of summer," a phrase that is, much like the resurrection/savior myth, based on the movement of the stars (look up Zeitgeist movie if you don't know what I'm talking about). Transfixed by the clear nighttime skies of Maine last weekend, I could make out Sirius "The Dog Star" as easily as I could find the moon. In Sweden, where my old family name was "Dag," they call it Rötmånad, meaning "rotting-month." What does this mean to you?
It's fuckin' hot.
Muggy, gross, too bright and much too phoony. That's right—— "phony," as in the thunderphoons that have taken hold in our new Florida-esque weather patterns. There are other things to cower from, like the ineptitude of politicians to agree on a new railroad line, the machinations of Army laboratories and John Mellencamp. We encourage you to take comfort indoors with The Dark Knight or the promise of youth with our dynamic Warped Tour preview. If that fails, drink some Euro-chic wines, chomp on some Irish eats and get your ass to Providence for a kickass arts fest.
WOOF!
