friday refrains: three after stevie (but by me, from days of yore)

I don’t kick her out of my room as I know I should
But instead listen cross-legged in a spell
Car j’ai un faible pour elle.

Which is, as it turns out, not only how you say “fruitbat” en español, but the first part is also a make of car—this from the Brujo, who then informs me that it’s made by Lamborghini and he’s driven one. I raise the eyebrow of quizzicality. “In my digital life,” he hastens to elaborate, referring […]

speechless (friday refrains to follow)
Friday 20 October 2006 | I like a cookie
There’s genius. And then there’s this. We actually had to blink back the tears that sprang to our eyes, contemplating its mercilessly compressed summation of cultural disintegration, its riotously fragmented captioning of decline.
(And remembering our stroke-riddled grandfather struggling to articulate a sentence which eventually emerged as, “The only comic that’s funny anymore is Family Circus.” […]

“Man, I’m leaving this bullshit town! Yeah, I’m going to Denver.”

Ah, but dear sourdean, I most certainly do read my glowing encomia—I live for them—not unlike the little Masochist of Amherst, I am consumed with lust for readership. (Take me to your reader!)
Ecumenically enough, both your choice morsels of advice seem to me to correspond not only to program concepts but also to dialectical-behavioral ones. […]

Dear Un, I’m deeply saddened to hear this. You are such a wonderful person and so undeserving of this haunting. Thanks for telling me and let me know if there is anyway we can help. I had an intuition that you were having a bad time. I recall a period years ago when […]
