I read the newspaper in the morning before work once in a while. Not often.
Today, I did.
And these are the governor’s grievances. January 3, 2007

implement empathetic sigh in place of laughter when passing on bad news.
Today I set foot on the land of New World.
Rich fluffy soil, nice soft textured animals… the works. Minus the unfavorable tomatoes. Hold them, I always say. And it works; the works. Compensation. Conversation. Working hard to hold a discussion I do not feel is necessary. Please refrain. This is mind dump, must organize into pit of grievances. Remember, a resolution must be implemented in order to be proven effective. How to test a theoretical challenge to be practical, if not tested? Wait, nonsensical ramblings begin to spill.
Diving back into Bach, the classical composer. Music, Music, Muse of mine. Of my friend. She purchased the cd on my recommendation. Pleased, now aim for placement. Ouch, slapped with a ticket. Hit and run? Way too fast? No, not yet you silly one, a licence must be obtained first! Free
Pachelbel’s Pox December 21, 2006
Posted by brittanygardner in Canon in D, Chord Progression, Comedian, Composer, Music, Pachelbel, Rant, Rob Paravonian.3 comments
Johann Pachelbel was a musical composer in the late 1600’s.
He is best known for his Canon in D.
The chord progression of the canon (“I V vi iii IV I IV V”) is one of the most common in many popular songs produced since.
Comedian Rob Paravonian’s rant about Pachelbel is humourous and educational when in comes to understanding the deju vu syndrome of hit music and how we can look to the long deceased composer as a true patron of the parallels.

Heated Thoughts December 14, 2006

Lipstick face, darkened eyes
I see their scotch trickling down your chin
Now Doll, please reply
surely you understand the motives
and motifs
that paint questions I have asked?
I watch their dresses, over and over and over
tears and wine and the ashy spots
fears stained with ciggarettes
Surely, time will continue its toss
falling into stride with motion
Emote, before I flick you off. You Bore Me.
I have not said that to you before. I have never spat in your face the way they did.
You clank and scream about, longing
to touch the delicate little mysteries
of bells, of song,
Still, you perch behind me whispering memories in my ear
Oh god, I remember. You do not.
I’ll forgive you then, on Adam’s Eve
that you could not face the words I’d scrawled on your face.
And in my stead, the cheap posterettes and candy stores
their hollow trucks, your sleepless nights.
Go now, rest your head upon her shoulder
in hopes that you’ll wake

Tomorrow is friday.
(I glance at the clock, and note that, in fact, today is friday.)

Brain Fodder October 25, 2006

I throw around the word ‘perhaps’ a lot.
It adds a nice ring to an otherwise drowsy sentence brimming with implications and possible clauses.
“Perhaps I shall persue psychology”
If I were to leave the sentence bare of that intitial wish-washer, I would be left with something I would have to seriously adhere to, or discard entirely. It is far easier to dilute meaning and save myself the trouble.
So one thinks. (more…)
Semiotics of the Kitchen October 25, 2006

In this 1975 short film by Martha Rosler, a woman stands behind a kitchen counter and proceeds to identify a selection of cooking implements.
“I was concerned with something like the notion of language speaking the subject,’ and with the transformation of the woman herself into a sign in a system of signs that represent a system of food production, a system of harnessed subjectivity.”
-Martha Rosler
Litter of Questions October 17, 2006

Typing this from mother’s laptop.
I must get myself a laptop… it’s settled.
Portability feels grand.
?So now my day was nice and slow. Bed myself late, and woke late in turn.
?I really have to go to the bathroom right now, but ?I am in a strange room in a strange house, and there is a broken key on this laptop which makes the ?question mark pop up quite often., and ?I do not feel like treking down the hall to find a bathroom. Do not want to be greeted by strangers.
??We stopped here because my mom wants to touch up before we hit a movie. We got dinner already which was okay, and we talked alot. We talked about talking…. conversations… engagement… not the marraige kind, but the kind that makes people connected in a conversation. ?So our conversation itself was kind of good for a bit. Authentic, and that. ?For a bit anyways. ?What is it with mothers… sometimes it is wierd to think that I have a mother at all; that I popped out of someone. Bizarre.
So anyways she should be finished her makeup soon, so I must quickly finish this and then ask where a washroom is located! I am positively squirming here and it is making me careless with my text phrasing and paragraph stylization!!
?Oh yes, ?I also went shopping today. (?Oh ?I figured out why that question mark keeps popping up, it is because the ?Shift key hits the question mark next to it when ?I click it. So I must be more careful) I bought a shirt and some hats. I like the idea of hats and ?I think that they are highly practical in cooler weather.
You know, this laptop has a better suited keyboard for me than my own computer. Size-wise I mean.
