Itinerant Daughter says: I am. Don’t you worry one bit.

If perhaps you get this, though, I’m sorry to say I can’t watch your new show, as I am incapable of watching anything other than re-runs of Intervention and Law and Order SVU that I’ve already seen eighteen times. My psyche is on a permanent Aristotelian carthasis-by-tragedy loop.

April 1, 2012While editing Shmuley Boteach’s book, I came across this:
“An idea which might also have such unintended potential was proposed by Nobel laureate Francis Crick, who suggested that it may be necessary to redefine the concepts of ‘birth’ and ‘death.’ He suggested that the time of birth of an infant be redefined as two days after parturition so that there would be time to examine it. Crick has also proposed redefining death as occurring when a pre-determined age were achieved. At that time the person’s property would pass on to his heirs.”
This is… interesting. I will research further and get back to y’all.
This Makes Me Sad
March 30, 2012These tights are adorable:
I always feel like a twat when trying to pronounce "ombre" though.
But one, it’s springtime, and so no new tights necessary for a good few months now, and two, they’re FORTY-FIVE FUCKING DOLLARS! (It actually says “fucking” on the Etsy shop entry.) Seriously, for $45, I could feed myself for a week, and buy a cheap pair of tights at H&M and dip them in crushed berries myself.
Luckily, when I win the $600 gajillion megamillions powerball whatever tonight, I’ll be able to buy myself the woman who owns this Etsy shop and set her up in my laundry room, where she will dye tights in the morning, make funky candles in the afternoon, and sleep at night. Hey, I’m not a slavedriver.
Little Joys
March 30, 2012My day has started out on a few bad notes, but when I saw this headline in the Times:
“Starbucks struggles to make headway in Europe”
(To be more accurate, in Business Day Live)
I was momentarily revived. It’s nice to know even those who seem so together have their problems. Like finding out the popular girl in middle school had a wicked case of psoriasis that (fortunately for her) was covered by her polos.
RIP Adrienne Rich
March 29, 2012Famed poet Adrienne Rich died Tuesday. I wanted to post “Valediction Forbidding Mourning” (seemed apropos) but it had been removed from all the usual sites due to complaints from the copyright holder. Fair ’nuff.
Song
You’re wondering if I’m lonely:
OK then, yes, I’m lonely
as a plane rides lonely and level
on its radio beam, aiming
across the Rockies
for the blue-strung aisles
of an airfield on the ocean.
You want to ask, am I lonely?
Well, of course, lonely
as a woman driving across country
day after day, leaving behind
mile after mile
little towns she might have stopped
and lived and died in, lonely
If I’m lonely
it must be the loneliness
of waking first, of breathing
dawns’ first cold breath on the city
of being the one awake
in a house wrapped in sleep
If I’m lonely
it’s with the rowboat ice-fast on the shore
in the last red light of the year
that knows what it is, that knows it’s neither
ice nor mud nor winter light
but wood, with a gift for burning

March 27, 2012My colleague HW sent me this last night and I died laughing. I can’t tell if it’s serious, but something tells me at least part of it is.

Sell your computer to get money to eat.

I’m sorry to hear this, no one should go hungry. Do you have a local food bank you could visit? They are really reasonable and help those in need. Otherwise I would visit your local church and see if they can help you. Another place to look into is your local Senior citizens center, they usually have lunches there daily. All that being said, if you live in an area where there are no facilities like I mentioned maybe you should knock on your neighbors door. I know its not the most appealing thing to do, but most people will help out when they can, its human nature. Good luck to you.

If this is really your state…I am very sorry about it. Get a job asap. But if you are asking for the sake of asking a question, you can drink lot of water. It will reduce the hunger. In olden days there were saints who drank only water and lived for years. But you need practice for that.

Some of these are predictable, and yet some are genius. I’m totally trying that McDonald’s thing next time I’m hungry and my change doesn’t add up.
