I am on a tu/th teaching schedule this semester, which is nice. It also means that the US has started a whole new fucking other war since our last class. Not even the first new war of the semester. Feel like I should check in, but what do I even say?

The Strange Story Behind Your Breakfast Cereal - JSTOR Daily Kellogg's Corn Flakes were originally created by a doctor who believed bland food would reduce people's urge to masturbate.

I was thinking. There should be a conference for poets, novelists, editors, and publishers. But it's outdoors, and the only food you eat is what you kill. The only clothes are the furs from the animals you kill. There is no electricity.
You could call it...

Considering that corn flakes were invented to keep boys from jackin' it....

Composite image made up of 6 frames, 2 images wide by side repeated 3 times, zooming in further on the faces each time. On the left, a woman holds her hand in the air to attract attention while kneeling next to a man who has fallen down clutching his chest, on the right, a serious-faced man holding a briefcase Woman: Y a t'il un docteur ici?. Man: Je suis docteur. Que se passe t'il? Woman: Une attaque cardiaque ! Man: Je suis docteur en philosophie ! Woman: Il va mourir... Man: Nous allons tous mourir.

Man: We're all going to die

Actually: "A big hat is funnier than a regular hat, and a pilgrim hat is intrinsically big, because of its shape." You can feel the anticipation building.

But now I am back to writing things like "big hats are funny," and reminding myself I went to a highly regarded graduate school.

If going to Dubai is how you put the spark back in your marriage I’m not really quite sure what to tell you.
