Dear Frangry,
Stop complaining. You didn’t invent the [Location] Day [n] formulation, nor did you pioneer the [Gerund] Since [Some Year in the Past] construction. Both have been around forever, and I can use either if I want. Just for that, my actions during my upcoming visit to Centre Country, Pa., shall remain shrouded in mystery and intrigue. You will be torturing yourself, wondering what Andy is up to...
Dear Andy,
Stop biting on my “XXX Day XXX” theme and get your own idea. Happy Holidays!

Annapolis Day Three
Painted on the back of a big tanker truck: KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, BUDDY … THIS AIN’T MILK WE’RE HAULIN’. What were they haulin’? Sewage.
Son’s team wins the championship. The end.
Nicaragua Day This Trip Needs to End

I leave for Miami tomorrow.
Annapolis Day Two
Breakfast at the Panera Bread near the hotel.
Back to Laurel for game that son’s team wins 5-2.
Back to hotel. Tired and having missed lunch, we do nothing but watch a NatGeo Channel documentary about obesity.
4pm “dinner” in Bowie at California Tortilla, a fast-food chain unknown to me that prides itself on it’s “spunky” employees and vast selection of...
Annapolis Day One
Wake up at Doubletree Hotel with a backache. Mattress was uncomfortable. At breakfast, son orders Crabcake Benedict. Daughter arrives late and must make do with leftovers.
Visit Old Annapolis, including deserted campus of St. John’s College, which daughter is interested in attending. At lunch stop, son and daughter both order crabcake sandwiches. I get leftovers.
Son’s hockey team wins its...
Nicaragua Day Six
frangry:
Next year, I won’t be staying this long.
It’s the most beautiful day out: 88 degrees, with a nice breeze.
The new maid (the old one was let go for inappropriateness) is fucking amazing.
I am no longer over Nicaragua, but I am indeed fickle.
Nicaragua Day Five
frangry:
It’s raining. So I am doing absolutely nothing, and it’s glorious.
Nicaragua Day Four
frangry:
It’s raining. On Monday, my Mom told me it is scientifically impossible for it to rain in Nicaragua this time of year. She is now walking around the house screaming “the end is near!”.
Presents include: a check. Thanks Santa!
Nicaragua Day Three
frangry:
Neil Young is exponentially better here.
Church is exponentially more boring. Greeting the 8,456 people you know at the mass, takes longer than the mass itself.
Nicaragua Day Two
frangry:
Breakfast in bed: Rice and beans, otherwise known as Gallo Pinto, and Cafe con Leche. DELICIOUS.
Among my Mom’s CD collection I found Mozart, Beethoven, Le Boheme and Alicia Keys.
Lunch at the neighbors house, which was women only, was consumed with conversation over the recent suicide in town. Why did he do it? Who found him? Couldn’t he have waited until after Christmas? How was...

Author Douglas Rushkoff fills in for Andy and Frangry on Friday, December 26th at 6PM! This participatory radio show looks at both sides of Life Incorporated: how life has been literally “incorporated” by business and economics, and how can we incorporate LIFE back into our world: local commerce, community, social currency, and other emerging forms of participatory culture.

Nicaragua Day One
frangry:
My sister listens to PINK, loudly, at 8:30 AM.
I got felt up by the lesbian maid who steals my sister’s underwear.
My brother’s toilet makes a crazy insanely loud piercing sound every time he flushes it. This sound lasts about 3-4 minutes.
I ate the greatest homemade plantain chips of my entire life.
Throughout the course of a shower, the water fluctuates from boiling hot to ice...

I found a weird-ass pile of disturbing stuff in the parking lot Thursday night: * A set of womens workout clothes, top and bottom * A beret * A plastic Air France pill container filled with flight aids and medicine with Russian labels * A portfolio of what appear to be legal documents...

“I love this show!! I turned it on one time and I feel in love with it...”

Dear Frangry,
You may not like “Flight of the Conchords,” but you should, because every time I try to reach some joint decision with you about our radio show, it reminds me of the comically inconclusive “band meetings” on “Conchords.” For me it is a source of solace and consolation … and it’s sort of funny, though not in an obvious ha-ha sense. I don’t have...
Dear Andy,
This is our blog, correct? How come you don’t know that I HATE Flight of the Conchords? Shouldn’t we only post things that we both like? xo, Frangry

Station Manager Ken Writes:
Hi folks - We’re applying for a grant from the Feds to help raise the money for the booster antenna in Manhattan. To support the application, Liz and I are trying to get about ten letters from listeners who live in Manhattan. These letters can’t come from staffers, but they CAN come from friends or family of staffers.
The deadline for these letters is...
