FOWC with Fandango — Vicarious

Today's word immediately sent me to one of my favorite songs by TOOL. The opening track on their album 10,000 Days released in 2006. The core idea of “Vicarious” is that we “live” through others’ experiences, especially their tragedies, by watching them from a distance through screens. The title itself refers to experiencing something indirectly, through someone else rather than directly yourself. […]

FOWC with Fandango — Upload

Image imagined by me and created by ChatGPT The Last Luxury Richard smoothed his silk lapels, staring down at the smog-choked slums of Sector 4. He pitied the scavengers down there, scraping for scraps, destined for messy, biological deaths. They were trapped in rotting cages of bone. He was destined for the Ether. "Ready, sir?" the technician asked, gesturing to the chrome cradle. "More than ready," Richard said. "Immortality awaits." He lay back, the neural lace cooling against his […]

FOWC with Fandango — Laundry

Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry” has been tumbling around in my head all day, which feels about right for a word like laundry. Released in 1982, it is less a song than a sneer at TV news, a reminder that the six o’clock broadcast is just another crime scene. Henley’s narrator is a hollow anchor who only needs to look good, not be honest, selling us car crashes and fresh corpses with a professional smile. The real indictment, though, is aimed at the audience. We cluck our tongues at […]

When I got married, I dropped my last name and kept my middle. If I was filling out that new SS card again, I would have kept my last (maiden) name, too. Otherwise, I love the name I was given.

It doesn't matter if it's morning, afternoon, or evening. It doesn't matter if it's CNN, Fox, or MSNBC. It doesn't matter if it's live, pre-recorded, or old news. Every single time I listen to former President Trump for more than two minutes I get an urge for the effervescent, nose-tickling, clean relief of Alka-Seltzer...preferably orange zest. The buzz of the power fizz just seems to ease the anticipated trademark criticism of America, retribution predictions, customary grift and/or victim role-playing...if only for a few moments. #FOWC
