Privacy I hope all the Jacksons live to old age. I hope in old age they all get together--- in Indonesia, let's say--- to have a picture taken. Michael, La Toya, Janet, Jermaine, and all the rest, in whatever's left of their fineries, smiling, remembering nothing so much as the ridiculous hope of the opened shutter. -Joe Wenderoth, published 2007 |

Been reading Huck Finn, & my eyes must have crossed the word "ni%$#r" a thousand times. Of course we may understand why this is, but for me here in the 21st it is a heady book. There ain't a way it's used that ain't horrific, but some are just downright deep. I'll spare you if you haven't read it. Is it racist? Of course it's racist. People were & still are; we just have an interest in hiding it nowadays that didn't exist back in the 19th. So it ain't shocking in that it depicts something I haven't seen with my own eyes, or with my own hands. I'm merely blown at the constant up front of it. I'm white after all. But Mark Twain is a fine fine writer. I take in about a book of his every two years, & it has enriched my life. |

Yesterday I practiced my 13th hour of yoga this month. This is significant because it was also my 50th hour this year, which completes my New Year's Resolution before half the year is over. I will be doing many many more hours of yoga this year but not counting. Every hour that I practice from now until at least the end of August will be dedicated to Sheila & her strength, light, endurance & love. |

Song There's a house on the tip of a branch. It sways in the Summer breeze. The great tree won't let it fall Even when the wind comes to shake it. Its only door is a beak. It opens To steal the starlight. Inside You can see the ribs. It's a house so tiny It can fit in the dark of my eye. When I close that eye, I can hear the sea in the other. It bears the house through the night. With my tongue I touch its prow from within, With my breath I blow The candles in the captain's cabin. When sleep overtakes me, I say good-by to the house. I lower onto my heart All that it cannot ferry on. -Charles Simic |

I dislike surrealism, & I loathe surrealists in general, but damn do I love me a good game of Surrealist Telephone! 6 or more people sit around a table & take turns choosing a painting from a book. That person writes down a sentence of at least 17 syllables in length describing the painting. The person whispers the sentence into the ear of the person on their left. Each participant then tries to repeat the sentence faithfully in the ear of the person on their left, but the sentence always gets so butchered that it comes back to the creator almost completely different. We played Saturday night & I haven't laughed that hard in ages. |

I have seen many of you do a meme that uses your name & a Google search, with the results being something like "MJC is going downhill at a splendid pace. MJC is an awards ceremony gone horribly awry. MJC is an excuse to not come home at night. . ." what is that, & how do I create one/access the dealio? |
