The last blog said I was feeling upset and angry, which I was. I'm not feeling that way any more. Right now I feel sort of glad to have the day off, and also very cold. This is my third year renting this cottage, and my third winter being utterly frozen. We've got two space heaters running, though, which is great because they cost a... Read More
You are welcome, and thanks for the incidental reference.
I've heard that piece of music several times over the years, and had thought it was by Bach. Did a bit of reading on Pachelbel, and learned J.S's elder brother studied under him, so perhaps has something to do with it.
Found a performance of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major that (as a guitar player, although with nowhere near this level of skill) blew my socks off.
And now for something completely different, as it were; a fine example of filthy low-brow humor I've recently read ....
A very attractive woman goes up to the bar in a quiet rural pub. She gestures alluringly to the bartender, who comes over immediately. When he arrives, she seductively signals that he should bring his face closer to hers. When he does so, she begins to gently caress his full beard. Are you the manager?" she asks, softly stroking his face with both hands. Actually, no" the man replies. Can you get him for me?" she asks."I need to speak to him," she says, running her hands beyond his beard and into his hair.
I'm afraid I can't", breathes the bartender."Is there anything I can do?" Yes, there is. I need you to give him a message" she continues huskily, popping a couple of fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently. What should I tell him?" the bartender manages to say. Tell him", she whispers, "There is no toilet paper or hand soap in the ladies room."
I see you have Beauty Redefined on your wish list, so I hope one of your friends and/or fans will get it for you. If they don't, you might want to consider saving up to buy it. Amazon is selling it for $33, and you can get free shipping, assuming you're in the U.S.
That's a great picture of you in your journal by the way.
Inspired by Fractal, I have a hopeful request: If any of you lucky folks have the new SG book, would someone mind snapping a pic of the page I'm on and posting it? I'm dying of curiosity.
Also:
I've been totally obsessed with VICE magazine all week. Someone mentioned this was posted on SG a million years ago. It's fantastic:
I'm about to start a painting commission that has to do with a Rumi poem. I've never read Rumi (it's not my style) but it turns out the Internet is a lot more full of his work than I thought.
Ooo! And now I don't need the dumb Internet anyway. I found the poem I'm supposed to be working from:
I've been fiddling with my website, trying to rig up an RSS feed in the Journal sections. Until then, in an attempt to encourage myself to blog, I've set up a WordPress site.
Feel free to check it out. I'd love to hear any comments or suggestions you have.
I've been curious about obtaining a grant to help preserve the library of newspaper archives I'm the sole librarian of at work. I figured it wouldn't be hard to find some historical funding, but every relevant grant I come across is only eligible to non-profit organizations. Our paper is for-profit, and not a small business, either; it's rather large and over 200 years old. I... Read More
It's been a while since I've been on. I'm having a lot of fun at my new job, and looking for ways to make money on the side.
Tonight I'm getting as dressed up as my vast costume collection permits, and going to a big local event that costs $60 to get in. It's part of my master plan to win a costume contest and... Read More
Fuck, I just ate the tastiest fucking potpie I've ever taken out of the freezer. I even dropped the last bite into the open case of my computer, but picked it out and ate it anyway.
good luck with your moving
