      Nerd Alert!
      And do you watch “Mythbusters”? My favorite episode was where they tested jail-escape ropes made out of toilet paper, human hair, and a third thing I can’t remember right now. They rappelled down the side of the Alameda County Courthouse in Oakland. It was excellent!

      When Mary Miller did her west coast tour this summer, she read at Writers with Drinks in SF, alongside Adam Savage. It was rad.

      i’m a fan of the thrust and grind of the soundtrack making chains so hot.

      i like the intro that says something like, ‘in the past, chains were used to haul, secure, and shackle, the same as today!’
