lunette selene
Thursday 25 February 2010 | I like a cookie
So I’ve been using my Lunette quite happily for two years, and don’t need a new one, I really do not; the thing is made of indestructable medical silicon and even if I, like, ran over it while camping in Mexico, it’d clearly bounce back without hesitation. Good Finnish work(wo)manship that’ll last me until the [...]
madness versus insanity
Thursday 25 February 2010 | someone left a cookie
Of course The Anatomy of Melancholy is very insightful on this topic; but look, another knowledgeable scholar turns out to be Doc Juma! And also, he can make strong your pennis. [God knows where the Brujo found this. He's more active than I on Fizzbook these days—as in, active at all—so it probably surfaced there. [...]

a serene glob of humanity
Monday 22 February 2010 | someone left a cookie
So I’ve just finished reading First Steps, an odd kind of historical compilation of various Al-Anon documents, which taken together, poorly annotated and referenced, nonetheless manage to give a very clear picture of the organization’s early days—mercifully the founding members decided not to call it “The AA Wives’ Auxiliary,” even though the unintentionally hilarious watercolor [...]

“nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.”
Saturday 20 February 2010 | I like a cookie
[The Brujo always says this but I think he's quoting Yogi Berra.] Well, now that I’ve succeeded in running everyone off, of course it’s Saturday and raining and I’m hemmed about and pent in by admin/teaching work I don’t want to do, none of the tasks are so big and awful in themselves but it’s [...]

the good news & the bad news
Sunday 14 February 2010 | I like a cookie
The good news is, hey, happy Valentine’s day! And it’s sunny here! The bad news is, somehow I can still manage to feel self-pitying. Following is a brief extract from an email to beloved MFA Skool colleague Raeface, in which I bemoan my sorry white-girl lot. The good news is…I have a new MacBook Pro! [...]

And of course it’s so gleaming and silvery and naked that I want to dress it up in pretty colors! Like playing doll. Only, your doll cost $1,750, including AppleCare because you are TIRED of your expensive and relatively new FORMER computer dissolving into a big puddle of molten kernel-panicking PLASTIC. (Of course there are [...]

or, maybe it’s just liver season
Sunday 7 February 2010 | I like a cookie
I mean, it is liver season. And I’ve been drinking this detox tea for springtime, and maybe that’s what’s making me want to rip phone books in half (as Herself used to say of, well, herself, when around mid-sesshin she started feeling the joriki—or maybe I used to say it—I do recollect her admitting, “I [...]

Sunday 7 February 2010 | I like a cookie
I mean, everyone else is doing it, so why not me? Does that mean we’ve finally succeeded in killing Faceborg? So much of me wants to walk away from this crusty rusty disgusting ancient thing, and hook up with my shiny new URL, and hide from those of you whom I don’t want to know [...]
