DELIRIOUS MUSINGS ON THE ALPHABETWhen I was little my favorite letters were ones that had their own completely enclosed spaces: A, B, D, O, P, Q, R. I wanted to get inside that space and sit there. To be inside the O! Would be O so nice! The A would be like an attic room, […]

Woke up yesterday morning with a terrible sore throat, which only got worse as the day went on. And some lovely other symptoms have added themselves too, such as a slight fever (just 100.2°F, no big deal and no Foreigner song) that makes my surroundings look all wavy like I am standing on the other […]

Wear one of those Africa medallions plus some rainbow beads and a big pink triangle badge. Greet everyone with “Salaam alaikum, […]

drama that you crave that you want want

This is pretty amazing. Dokaka is a Japanese guy who does weird acapella version of weird 1970s songs. Pretty much every thing about it is weird. (If I say the word “weird” too much it takes on a sort of Moe Szyslak accent in my mind. “Weird for the sake of weird.”) You know what […]

turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips

SETTLE DOWN THERE GIRLIEThe beginning of a new month always makes restless and vaguely insane, as I become obsessed with looking ahead and trying to plan all sorts of Fun Things, but also try to balance that with a equal number of Nights At Home, where I cook and read and generally loaf about. The […]
