Internet-Correspondance Repair

Sunday, February 25, 2001

With the long-distance help of my dad, I am fixing a lamp which was a New York street find. This follows in a peculiar tradition of long-distance repair between the two of us, the most notable moment being the time when my dad accurately diagnosed the ominous scraping sound coming from the wheel wells of […]

Bush movements

Sunday, February 25, 2001

Somehow I expected that Bush would be cutting corporate welfare, but I’m still a little startled… Why did I guess this? Well, Clinton did all sorts of things to betray his party in being so middle-of-the-road… doesn’t it stand to reason that Bush would have to do some of the same to follow up on […]

When did Paul Simon and David Byrne switch personalities without my noticing? A review of Simon’s “You’re The One.”

The Temporary Home Of The John “Chauncy Berry” Seabury Fan Klub

Wednesday, February 21, 2001

Hey look, gang! My cousin was nominated for a Grammy! Way to go, John! Gee, I wish someone had told me EARLIER (ahem); I would have cast my precious Recording Academy vote for him, but you know, Billboard was all on about Madonna’s packaging, I mean her PACKAGING, because if you noticed the whole damn […]

All Your Base Are Belong To Us

Tuesday, February 20, 2001

It’s sublime. Finally a winner in the ongoing worst-possible-translations contest. Also in the category of portentous incongruous juxtaposition. Makes the little hairs on my back stand up straight. Sub Lime.

Found Documents: California Calendar Journal

Sunday, February 18, 2001

I discovered that I’d written the following down in the back pages of an old wallet calendar. Sometimes in college a situation or discussion seemed so important I decided I must write it down right then and there for a later assignment or personal project. It bothers me no end that I have no idea […]

Found Documents: Trivial Pursuit Award

Monday, February 12, 2001

Found in a Trivial Pursuit box at a place where I’m housesitting. Small notepad sheets tied in one corner with dark blue yarn. To whom it may concern: Mazel tov! Congrats on a mind boggling victory. Take pride in your mastery of this insignificantly paltry frivolously frothy inconsequentially immaterial trifling molehill, this flimsy shallow mediocre […]

Detritus peripatetica

Thursday, February 8, 2001

Coming home at night I smell dinner being cooked all over Sunnyside. People are making better food than I do. I think this is because they are not making it for themselves alone. I feel like I haven’t said what I needed to say to put this election to rest for me. Then, I don’t […]

Look at these babbies!

Monday, February 5, 2001

Look at these babbies! Aren’t they dear! They remind me of my gang. Oh, I wish Xephreniaq had had a blog in high school. I wish we had a blog now (AHEM.) Salutations, kindred spirits and fellow travellers!
