The ones whose work is a little
difficult, built of tinkertoys
and dada, or portmanteau and
Reich. God help them as they
type away, knowing their readers
are few, only those who love to toil
over an intricate boil of language,
who think books are secret codes.
These writers will never see their names
in Publisher’s Weekly. They will
never be on the talk shows. Yet,
every day they disappear into their
rooms atop their mother’s houses,
or their guest houses behind some
lawyer’s estate. Every day they
tack improbable word onto im-
probable word, out of love, children,
out of a desire to emend the world. ”

I realized tonight that I am taking all my anxiety out on our dishes, not by smashing them, but rather by compulsively and obsessively washing them.
LEO: The next time you decide to let someone into your life make sure you know what they want from you. Giving people too much trust is worse than not trusting them at all. If you’re dealing with someone whose agenda turned out to be a little more complicated than you thought it would be, you need to set them straight before you continue. In the guise of being totally open and receptive, they have led you to believe that they are a dream come true when in fact their motives seem to be more about getting whatever they can from anyone who will give it to them.
At first I thought the Real Detroit horoscopes were failing me.
one more one more one more
- I was just introduced to the term “nerdgasm”
- If I read/listen/watch one more thing about the Consumer Financial Protection Agency I am likely to stab my own eyes out.
- Brooksley Born was kind of hot when she was young.
- That last statement should prove to you that I am in a serious Outer Limits/TwilightZone type situation.
