1) Holy crap, Transylvanian goulash! If somebody puts that in front of you, you don't ask if it's vegetarian or not. You just try it, because it's really good. My stars, that restaurant. Like being at grandma's house, back in the day.

2) And next week, we're going to try rolling our own sushi at Se's house. Heavens help us all.

*g*

3) Spent most of yesterday working on a poster. Punching out stencils for the lettering gave me another idea for a collage, "Alphabet Stencil Soup." Don't ask; you'll just have to wait and see.

*impish g*

4) Yesterday's musical experiment = Keith Jarrett's piano stylings. Quiet, soothing, nice.

5) Am going through bookshelves, being really critical about what stays and what goes. Anything I will possibly use or reread in future stays. Everything else goes.

6) Today's poem is yet another repeat, but they seem to pick the good ones, so, no complaints. Man Writes Poem is a tricksy blend of sportscasting and writing, so of course, it's totally love.

7) Still need glue. Hm.

8) S. showed up just as I was leaving yesterday, and he figured that since I was leaving, he'd just come back some other time. Am vaguely irritated by this, but, fine.

9) Talked to my dad yesterday. He's handling this a whole lot better than mom is. I can tell, because 99% of his sentences begin with "You should." That means he cares. I think. Right? Right.

10) On the local news front, ignorant people just plain suck. It's okay to feed our kids junk food, and expose them to all kinds of violence on tv, but heavens forfend if they're accidentally in a bookstore when somebody's reading erotic poetry...

*sigh, avec eyeroll*

Extra: zomfg, Simon Le Bon, you and the spinning itunes wheel take me by surprise, every single time.

Must dash. A bientot.

That is energetically all.

It's no secret that I love Chuck Palahniuk. When Choke came out in 2001, I went to a reading/signing event he had in NYC. However, it wasn't just him: it was with two other authors (one was Colson Whitehead, the other was a female author that I was not familiar with and don't remember). You could totally tell which groups of people were for which author. She read something. Colson read something. And then Chuck read a piece. From Choke, which is a book about a character who receives sexual gratification from women he meets at sexual addition groups. The bit he read? When the main character has sex with one of these women.

Oh my.

The folks there for Chuck loved it while the other two authors and their (much smaller) group of folks were horrified.

Especially when the character refers to his member as "his dog".

LOL

Oh my gosh, what a hoot. You'd think Colson Whitehead's fans would have a little more backbone. ;)

Thanks for sharing!

Holy crap, Transylvanian goulash!

That was one of Bela Lugosi's favorite dishes, I hear!

I can see why! I only had a few bites (there were so many courses, it was almost insane), but it was really good!
