In particular I took seriously the injunction not to combine the doses with alcohol and restricted myself strictly to half a bottle of Lucas-Carton champagne each evening. I know someone who is doing this surgery soon and I am sure he could benefit from my counselling.

I did enjoy a lot of the post-surgery opiate fun after my hip replacement but at least it stopped the pain.

No, no. Okay he was older than me, but old bookstores staying open late? Cheap books? Offset press, blah blah? Collecting 50K books is beyond that. I would not want that many books. I have around 4K, could go to 10K if I lived long enough. But we are looking at something compulsive here. 50K books is not, absolutely not “a reminder of different days.” There may be a good explanation and I look forward to seeing it.

I can see that side of it. The carnival was spectacular. I would have just liked to sleep through some of the discomfort. ”Let’s go south!”

“Yet Zendaya, an actor of tremulous, often wordless nuance…” That’s some good writing with no dumb stuff about her having a big head.

You can’t trust the so called experts.

And became a lawyer? Yes, that’s her. :comedy tonight:

Oh, I was writing because one weird effect is that I have been doing “comedy” all day. It is pathological. Watching MSNBC this morning, Sen Warnock, talking about student debt, said “I go into a lot of rooms” My immediate response was “Creepy,” then I rolled on the floor laughing for too long. This is definitely part of symptoms. Really. (Please take any weird posts tonight into account.)

My trip to San Francisco was wonderful (see thread). But one pays a price. On the (one hour delayed) trip back I became noticeably sick. Shaking with fever. I managed to conceal it from the cab driver. Home at 1am, straight under two heavy comforters to sweat it out. 12 hours of that dumb delirium where your brain cannot stop shuttling stuff through. Including, in this case, absolute nonsense about data science, a bunch of Hinds songs, and a deep, repetitively deep, analysis of “Creeque Alley.” Like it’s five in the morning and you feel like death and Michi is still emphasizing for the thousandth time “that was the Mugwumps.” On my back all Monday, stirred on Tuesday, functioning today. I have no diagnosis but I definitely had these symptoms before I had ever heard of COVID. (A bit like flu but not those unmistakeable aches.)

(I was mimicking a comedian too divisive to mention.)

She did alright for “Piss Factory.”

An upcoming piece in the LRB will report that Tom Verlaine, who passed last year, left a library of over 50,000 books. Okay, so we now know what he did with his spare time, but he seems to have said it was cheap to store them. That’s the surreal part. I had thought he lived in downtown Manhattan, not Idaho, so excuse me? Maybe “Marquee Moon” paid even for that (I have a vivid and precise understanding of the space required). But I look forward to the full article. Maybe he had storage units in Queens.

Epsiodes. See, that’s funny already!

What happened to the “Indian lady” who drifted from restaurant to restaurant followed slavishly by hounds?

I am sure you knew that I was parodying the coverage, not that I know where the arepas are. The funniest thread on the original Mouthfuls was Orik’s on the arepa lady. I do recall fantastic jerk chicken in a small family place and a slightly larger place, both around Broadway near Broadway Junction. I don’t travel for it as I clearly do for head cheese.

Is there a bun or is there not a bun, are there martini leftovers and if so why, and what the hell is scary about a hot dog? Don’t stare at me, I’m not going out there first.

Well exactly.

Right, I mix up my diet of Kaurismäki, Rogosin and Kieslowski with epsiodes of Below Deck.

Well, there goes the magic.

Wow.

Who needs the arepa lady (and where is she anyway) when we have a (future Nobel laureate) dosa king? https://www.instagram.com/p/C4a3EcyL5kv/?igsh=MWlnbDk5MnF2MWdreg==

I didn’t imagine bands at SXSW made this kind of commitment. Is this normal?

I thought I posted about this already. I still have a copy of “Fresh Raspberries” an amazing powerpop album.

And all her other followers.
