The Sriracha Inquest

Well, don’t ask me how this happened, but I ended up eating pumpkin pie with Sriracha on it. I think it was because R dared me to (we were eating Chinese food, you see, and there was some leftover pumpkin pie for dessert). I probably figured it would be an interesting taste sensation at the time, and the dare was just the straw-that-did-the-thing-that-the-straw-does-in-these-metaphors. I like to think what I did was for the betterment of science. In truth, I was doing something for the sake of doing it.
This was the stuff. You all know what it is. You can all imagine the taste that I was in for:

Looks good, though, you’ve got to admit. Just like those pies you get at a coffee shop:

Here’s proof of me eating the pie. God, I look like Bat Boy in this pic:

And the result? Not to bad. A little too salty for this pie, but if it had been a sweet chili sauce, it might have fared better. I ended up eating the whole piece, and considering another, but R put a stop to that.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
