here for a moment is a display of the “parody periodicals” file. the last time but one that i ever showed this to anyone it was much smaller; now i’ve shown madeline this very display… or rather, something very close *to* it… and it occurs to me to show it off to the entire cooking […]

routine maintenance
Posted on May 15, 2014
yesterday we walked down to the end of the block and back. and i did (at least) the two dishloads seen here. other “cooking show” stuff? mostly forgotten, i fear. i could bring quite a bit of it back (as i imagine), though. mostly it was madeline making the elaborate stuff: reverse-engineered redd-lobbsterr style cheese-&-garlic […]

some more fruits of my latest shelving binge and probably the last dishes i’ll wash tonight. i improved a bunch of the movie-and-theatre section today. madeline liked the homefries. yay, me. if there’s bacon trimmings set aside, heat ’em up in the small steel pan. wipe out the cast-iron pan & melt some butter in […]

yesterday’s news
Posted on April 23, 2014
the afternoon’s first-of-the-day load included most of the glass… including the new mason jar (that recently arrived here full of spaghetti sauce)… and got the cleanest dishwater. the jar is at the far right (in front of one of the [three] plastic pitchers… there’s usually at least one of these in the refrigerator, as this […]

most of the dishes seen here were seen yesterday on the other side of the sink, unwashed. they’re clean now (but not for long). meanwhile, instant coffee & a sandwich. iced tea for madeline. number theory and lots of it. dishwashing obviously. wow, 3 pm. starving. time to fry more.

24 times a second
Posted on August 17, 2009
i’ve been complaining lately… and not just lately… about the “rule of authority”, particularly as it works itself out in *schools*. “schools” here means—humpty-dumpty—K-PhD. where i come from, anybody without a “terminal” degree is a dropout. “schools are prisons”, say i. this isn’t “literally true” of course. it wouldn’t even have any content if it […]
