Happy Fishnet Friday!

We survived Thanksgiving! Woohoo!

LADY SADISMO

The Lady is a Witch, 1950

Here are some cute pictures my stepdad took of Akubi and their new puppy, Amelie...
I haven't had a chance to download mine, but there are tons of other pictures.
It was a surprisingly nice day at the beach today which meant tons of other dogs were there. More than one other Pomeranian owner I encountered mentioned "what a thick coat" Akubi has. I'm sure when they walked away they were thinking "what a fat Pomeranian". Tanuki loves wearing one of his sequined Liberace shirts he sports on holidays – so other dog owners I encountered assumed he was female.
While others pointed and laughed at the goofy little dog, Tanuki strutted right past a big Doberman who tried to take his ball; nonetheless he was ambushed by a Cocker Spaniel (?) puppy who ran out the water while we were sitting on a log, shook himself off in front of us (covering me with lots of water and sand) and stole the ball. He kept running with it until he found a guy several yards away to throw it for him and continued this process of convincing others to throw the ball for him as it went further and further away while his owners kept trying to chase him and the ball to return it to Tanuki. It was rather amusing. I love dogs.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Shortchanging the Muse by ~RedSparr0w

Thanks for all of the kind comments and emails. Due to technical difficulties and the holiday, I probably won’t be online much until this weekend, but I do have a W.S. Burroughs Thanksgiving Prayer for your viewing pleasure...



For the most part, I’m doing OK considering – mainly losing myself in books. Eating has been troublesome and somewhat nauseating, but I wouldn’t mind losing a couple of pounds before the holidays. The hardest part has actually been the little quirky things that come up that I’d like to share with him, but cannot any longer.

Anyway, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’m trying to be thankful for what I have. In many ways I’m very lucky and it is rather pathetic to wallow in self pity.

Yesterday I was so happy to have a full week of vacation and many plans ahead of me, but then my life took a U turn to Hell. I’m still processing the damage. I broke up with my bf and wish I could reverse it all, but it appears I cannot. There go my Thanksgiving traveling plans. He made me so happy, but somehow I managed to ruin it all. Perhaps there are some people who are meant to spend their lives alone. After so many failed relationships, I think I might just be defective. Perhaps I should just give up on them altogether and get back into painting or something instead. Currently I'm simply in shock from the loss.
Adding insult to injury, I accidentally dropped my non-Vista laptop on the coffee table and the glass shattered as did the laptop. I can’t stop crying.

Happy Fishnet Friday!

Is this not the cutest little girl in the world?

I'm not much of a kid person, but I would love to have one as cute, smart and creative as Tavi. K, she kind of reminds me of me at that age when I had enthusiasm - and she's short and sports a bob too - and all I had then was ELIZA.

Happy Philosophy Day!

Now that we're back where we were in f-ing 1997, one can't help but feel philosophical over the lost decade. Here are some tentacles, pulp fiction art and Schoolhouse Rock to cheer you up.

Kore de ii no da™

“It’s all good.” (kore de ii no da - これでいいのだ) is currently quite a popular phrase in Japan: “Your liberating ideas helped us accept and affirm the way things really are. That is, you taught us, ‘It’s all good.’”
If Casey is ever big in Japan maybe kore de ii no da will become koredeiinoda™. Itsallgood™.

I had no idea Deyrolle burned earlier this year. I loved that place. At least they seem to be putting things back together.

This video reminds me so much of Pac Man and Space Invaders as a kid. Yes, I am an old fart who had a childhood addiction to those stupid old games.
P.S. Why is the Bible so boring (they're going on about the Covenant on PBS and I remember banging my head against a wall in an attempt to write something Biblically relevant about the f-ing Covenant). Let's just say I did much better in Greek and French history classes.

Salmonella Men on Planet Porno

Over brunch I came across a review of Salmonella Men on Planet Porno and I could not believe I was unaware of Tsutsui – especially if the stories were written in the 1970’s!
K, maybe the fact that he has just recently been translated to English has something to do with.

In the Kafkaesque "Rumours About Me," an ordinary office worker finds himself the subject of 24/7 media coverage, his face on every screen and in every morning paper, his every act streamed on the airwaves. Is someone playing a practical joke? Is it a conspiracy to drive him mad? Is he mad? As the protagonist's sedative-gulping doctor explains, "If your environment is abnormal, then you must be abnormal too. ... If you persist in asserting your own sanity, it proves, conversely, that your environment is in fact normal but that you alone are abnormal. If you consider your environment to be abnormal, then by all means lose your mind!"

Oh, BTW, I may have a sweet porn opportunity (connection), but can't imagine leaving my Kafkaesque life behind.

Happy Fishnet Friday!

Our Horrible Mistake.

"No,” said Eisman. “It’s a zero. There is zero probability that your default rate will be 5 percent.” The losses on subprime loans would be much, much greater. Before the guy could reply, Eisman’s cell phone rang. Instead of shutting it off, Eisman reached into his pocket and answered it. “Excuse me,” he said, standing up. “But I need to take this call.” And with that, he walked out.

P.S. Hi Mom!
I love you and hope you don't think I'm really nuts now that you've found my blogs.
I need an outlet for my anal-retentive life that is boring as hell - perhaps that's why I have such vivid dreams and hate waking up in the morning.

Akubi and Tanuki met their aunt for the first time yesterday and Akubi was aloof, but Tanuki seemed to bond a bit with her as you can see in this photo (more to come).

I loved the following description on Edgar's Petro blog:
This makes about as much sense as letting a twenty something year old ivy league smart-ass mess with stock and commodities prices on hyper-leverage until all the markets look like rapidly boiling pea soup, with the lid bouncing, steam and peas splattering all over the place, and the household help, aka the taxpayer, is trying to clean up the mess while the gubbermint turns up the heat.
