  • “To misquote The Bard, hell is empty and all the devils are running in the Ohio Senate Race in the GOP primary.” ~ Ordinary Times

    7 April 2022
  • Last night we watched “The Dead Don’t Die”, a Jim Jarmusch film from 2019 … Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, etc.

    27 March 2022
  • I will now take a break from WWIII by eating pizza
    and watching “Murder in Provence”.

    5 March 2022
  • I cannot express how much is loathe Snapchat “filters”.

    27 February 2022
  • I stayed away from Wordle for a while. But then –

  • I didn’t buy enough “This is Fine” t-shirts.

  • Autocorrect: the new Grauniad

  • 2022-02-07. Our Wordle is not strong.

    7 February 2022
  • I’m always late to the party. In practice, this means the beer is gone.

    5 February 2022
  • Some time ago I refretted a friend’s Django-style guitar. Here’s a photo from early on in the process.

    2 February 2022
  • I’ll have extra vaganza with that, please.

    1 February 2022
  • Today I deleted all the emails in my gmail account. In box, Sent, Deleted, Spam β€” all of it. The emails now exist only in my own backup files, stored locally and off site.

    Next candidate for a purge: Dropbox.

    26 January 2022
  • Now reading: “DISCOVERIES: A VOLUME OF ESSAYS BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS.”

    21 January 2022
  • It was too late to pull the batter, combine and refill into the loaf pans. So about an hour from now I will test the unleavened loaves for doneness, pull them when they are done, and set them out to cool.

    Voila! My own, my very first doorstops. Live and learn.

    19 January 2022
  • While the timer was ticking away I started cleaning the countertop. That’s when I found my small prop bowl filled with baking powder and baking soda, sitting, unused.

    19 January 2022
  • The gods are pooping on me β€” the kitchen gods, anyway.

    Today’s batch of my locally famous fruitcake β€” which I hasten to tell you has never been a doorstop β€” went into the oven in two loaf pans in a 325Β°F oven, as planned.

    19 January 2022
  • The Hitchens theme is now doing yeoman’s work here.
    But Yes, Pat Dryburgh and P. I. Moore did the real work, for which my thanks.

    16 January 2022
  • TV commercials

    Are they still called thatβ€” TV commercials?

    In any case, I will be indescribably happy when images of maniacally dancing consumers fall out of favor.

    Also, get all the vaccinations.

  • The end times

    Here's a fresh two-part signifier of the apocalypse:

  • Quote of the day:

    β€œOne may cower within, but one cannot avoid,β€” le Bec de la Mort, theΒ .Β .Β . β€˜Beak of Death.’ ”

  • I need a Hat of Power

    4 November 2021
  • After a couple of weeks of too-busy time, I’ve finally taken a few moments to link this domain to micro.blog

    That’s all it took – I was making the process far too complicated. (If you’re wondering, I went with the A Record option.)

    4 October 2021
  • I’m having All The Fun trying to transfer my domain to the micro.blog universe. I’ve read the docs, did my best to change the name server settings (at namecheap.com), and now I guess I wait for changes to precipitate out … if I did them correctly, that is. /rolls eyes/

    30 September 2021
  • I’m re-reading “Marley” in anticipation of the Christmas season. BUT I haven’t made time to put it into “Literal”. So sad ….
