Joe Brainard's Pyjamas (The Sequel)

Betty Broderick

2012-01-29T05:04:00.000-08:00

Betty Broderick is one of those rare murderers for whom I feel a twinge of empathy.These are usually women who have been driven crazy by former husbands--who didn't do it unintentionally but intentionally.I remember when this case blew up so huge in the media and everybody seemed divided over what was the correct punishment for Broderick, who drove over to her ex-husband's house before sunrise

I Ask Myself if My Feelings about Life are As Passionate and as Comfortably Polarized as This Guy's

2012-01-29T02:16:00.000-08:00

And I think "probably not."And then I think, "No way. Who are you trying to kid with 'probably?'"The ending of this made me think of the KKK, even though he's clearly talking about Scottish clansmen.I think I'm comfortable not feeling this much passion or being this polarized about anything except, say, murder or haggis (I'm against both).I wonder why as a band member of Iron Maiden he had the

Britney Spears Speaking Japanese

2012-01-28T11:28:00.000-08:00

Speaking Japanese with an Alabama accent.I think they just tricked her into phonetically saying "Come on me" in English, really.I mean if you listen closely.

Cam Gigandet

2012-01-28T11:22:00.000-08:00

I saw Cam Gigandet today (yet again) in a movie.He's everywhere.He's very cute with his striptease in Burlesque and today it was Priest, which I'm hoping Catholics like since it's one of the few movies in which Catholic characters kick ass and try to save the world.And then of course there's Twilight.Hence this.

I Went to the D.M.V.

2012-01-28T09:13:00.000-08:00

I think I should write a novel about going to the D.M.V. Maybe 128 pages. I was there about 7 minutes so that should fill up 128 pages. I mean if you heard the panic in my head.I got rid of a license plate that no longer has a car.Then Lee took me to a bigger thrift store and we both had fun. He found the best kid's book (pop-up Halloween) as he always does and I found some good books worth a lot

O. Henry

2012-01-28T05:36:00.000-08:00

O.Henry coined the phrase "banana republic."I just learned that last night.I'd probably read everything he wrote by the time I was twenty-one (he's such a fun, gimmicky writer).But I've also probably forgotten eighty percent of what I've read by him.Or the writer who went by the name of Saki (similar tricks).

The Most Interesting Cat in the World

may well be fashion diva (err...box diva) Maru.This is the kitteh from Japan who has dominated YouTube for years now.If you don't believe me, just search her name on YouTube. Her videos routinely get more views than those of many human celebrities.And I made the frontest of front pages again today (yay! two days in a row!) with this one of Maru being a little offputtingly snobby.see more Lolcats

I Was Forced into R.L.

2012-01-28T04:26:00.000-08:00

My computer was apparently going nuts far below the surface.Because when I finally allowed it to auto-fix or whatever it's called, it ran for like 14 hours.There was a problem with a quarter of a million files.Those files had to be modified and then an equal number of "unused files" had to be changed, deleted something.So I'm only getting back online the next day.I had another computer to use but

Fanks, Cheezburger.Heh.I just made the frontest of the front pages (main page) with a caption that is...wait for it...not a kitteh!It's a bunneh.Bunnehs give me an attack of the kyoots.My mom was just remembering last night how much I wanted a bunny but never got one. What was she doing? Teasing me?!? Oh well, my friend Steph moved in the neighborhood later and she had lots of bunnehs, so I got

Death

2012-01-27T01:54:00.000-08:00

We were lying in bed. I was under the blanket and you were not. This is ordinary. This is normal. This is good.My mind a robot. A bee a robot. Language a robot. Keep calm. These things come in threes, come in waves,let them wash over.Language bee. Death bee. Together bee.I asked you when you think you first realized death existed, which is not the same thing as the first time you actually

That song I posted yesterday by Gotye (and Kimbra) really grew on me, so I was listening to other songs.And liking a lot of it.Pop. But great stuff.

Rachel Pointed Me to This Hilarious Thing

2012-01-26T21:54:00.000-08:00

I've loved Maurice Sendak for decades.I've loved Stephen Colbert (especially his innovations in the English language) for more than a decade. I go around quoting Colbert's character Charles "Chuck" Noblet from Strangers with Candy virtually as often as I quote Amy Sedaris's Jeri Blank from that same show. Probably because I have every episode of that show ever made virtually memorized. I have on

Darwinian Kittehs

2012-01-26T21:30:00.000-08:00

I was eating a tuna sandwich earlier today. It was just chunks of hickory-smoked tuna thrown down on some olive oil mayo between two slices of bread. And my younger cat, who has never had tuna to my knowledge, began sniffing the air with that "What is this glorious scent?" expression. Pretty soon he zeroed in on me sitting on my ass, propped up against my headboard by a ridiculous amount of

I Really Love Joanne Kyger's Poetry

2012-01-26T10:32:00.000-08:00

My two favorite Beat poets are the ones who were probably the most loyal to Buddhist practices and lived their lives the closest to Buddhist principles.I mean Joanne Kyger and her (admitted) mentor Philip Whalen.I recently returned to her Selected, As Ever (Penguin, 2002).I'm always finding new things in these poems and almost always reading them completely differently than I did last year or the

Pop Musicians New (to Me, Anyway)

2012-01-26T07:02:00.000-08:00

I enjoyed this song by the singer who goes by the name Gotye.Wouter "Wally" De Backer (born 21 May 1980), also known professionally by his stage name Gotye, is an Australian-Belgian multi-instrumental musician and singer-songwriter.He has released three studio albums independently and one remix album featuring remixes of tracks from his first two albums. De Backer is also one-third of Melbourne
