All this talk about Law Roach makes me think fondly of Cerebus the Aardvark, (I don't think fondly of Dave Sim, though). IYKYK.

I was telling someone earlier how wonderful Morrison's voice is. So melodious!

I was going to post this as well in an attempt to make our dear Mr. Dreyer cringe.

Answer: is it from a library? Then you better not, mister! Is it from a friend? How good a friend? Do you really like them all that much? Aren't they more of a friendly acquaintance? Did that book just accidentally go home with you? It did? Gosh, I'll certainly return it next time I see you, promise

Nicholson made "O Best Beloved" sound so very sinister, but I loved it! And Bobby McFerrin was just brilliant! (I believe this was before "Don't Worry, Be Happy," which was the beginning of the end, sadly).

My mother used to ask me why don't you just write things that people read? Because I am a Literary Writer, and we don't take the straightforward path. I choose the inscrutable one that will lead me to a niche corner of the internet where we scream

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service.

I want more people to make the connections.

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

I still can't get over that it's pronounced like it's spelled. Honestly, thought 'surely it's pronounced like holy, right?' And now this. Hooboy!
