St. Blaize: December 2008
http://stblaize.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 13, 2008. Sorry, But It's Time for More Creepy Graphics. While I freaked out at least one reader with my post. On the Frankensteinian book jacket, I am compelled to write again about graphic design. Working as I do at a feed store, I am up close and personal with many products, and get to witness vicariously the joys and sorrows that must be the daily fare of designers and advertisers. For example, one rubber toy. YELLS that it is "THE WORLD'S BEST DOG TOY! However, I don't own a dog&#...

St. Blaize: Titles of Books That Should Never Be Written
http://stblaize.blogspot.com/2011/08/titles-of-books-that-should-never-be.html
Saturday, August 20, 2011. Titles of Books That Should Never Be Written. I am working on a list of titles of books that, if written, would be stinkers. So far I have:. The Abandoned Quonset Hut. Quonset 2, north of Dickinson Bayou at Hwy 146, Texas 0404091454,. By accent on eclectic. I imagine this as a thriller, perhaps in the vein of The Thing. Or it could be a cosy catastrophe. This could be a morality tale à la James Thurber's Fables for Our Times. Thats too funny :-D. August 20, 2011 2:55 AM. Maybe ...

St. Blaize: July 2009
http://stblaize.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 04, 2009. What to Do in Istanbul. 1 Get frustrated by being sent back and forth along the ferry wharf. 2 Find the right ticket booth/dock. 3 Take the Boğazçi Özel Gezi. Ferry towards Anadolu Kavağı. 4 Sit next to a nice Turkish couple, on the shady side of the lower deck. It'll mean you see the European side only, but you can't have everything. 5 Get off at Sarıyer. 6 Figure out where the staircases go up the hill and follow them until they peter out in people's private yards. 16a Have a f...

St. Blaize: November 2008
http://stblaize.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 24, 2008. I've been reading some books by Arnaldur Indriðason. Silence of the Grave. All three have similar covers, with a man walking or running away from the viewer, into a landscape of some kind. They're moody, and the guy is wearing a detective-esque trenchcoat, flapping around his thighs. The jacket designer, intriguingly-named David Baldeosingh Rotstein. Has done (I think) a decent job. Looking at the credits for the jacket design of Voices. In the movie Toy Story. I give Super-Sec...

St. Blaize: January 2009
http://stblaize.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 25, 2009. Best Newly-Learned Word of 2009, Thus Far. I was reading about trying to identify the offending birds. Responsible for plane crashes and that one emergency water landing. Although it showed up- correctly defined- in the urban dictionary. In 2005, I'm not the only one. Who seems to have enjoyed its more-recent appearance in The New York Times. And how could I be? IT'S A GREAT WORD. Saturday, January 24, 2009. The Saddest Letter in the World. Burlington, July 3:. I worked this aft...

St. Blaize: Cryptic Tonsil
http://stblaize.blogspot.com/2011/01/cryptic-tonsil.html
Saturday, January 08, 2011. According to the radio, today is National Clean Off Your Desk Day. I, however, am choosing to exercise my god-given American right to celebrate every day as National Don't Tell Me What the Hell to Do Day. That for unknown reasons obscenely caress the top of your luggage when it goes into the x-ray machine at the airport). This just in: don't try to gargle with seasoned rice vinegar in warm water. Its failure as a therapeutic vinegar is second only to that of balsamic. Who clai...

St. Blaize: August 2011

Tuesday, August 23, 2011. It Could Be a Nice Park. Instead, it seems like the place where the surrounding churches might do their ritual sacrifices. Isn't that what churches do? Anja said it smelled like livestock. Obvs. lambs. Saturday, August 20, 2011. Titles of Books That Should Never Be Written. I am working on a list of titles of books that, if written, would be stinkers. So far I have:. The Abandoned Quonset Hut. Quonset 2, north of Dickinson Bayou at Hwy 146, Texas 0404091454,.

St. Blaize: July 2011
http://stblaize.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 03, 2011. What is travel for? Martha Gellhorn, in "What Bores Whom? Travels to Israel in 1971 when she is in her 60s. This woman traveled all over alone, and reported on wars and conflicts, starting with the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. She was also, fairly briefly, married to Ernest Hemingway, which must have been a war and conflict in itself. Gary Cooper, Martha Gellhorn, Sandra Shaw, and Ernest Hemingway. Photo by Beny Shlevich. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. In leaves no feet ha...

St. Blaize: March 2009
http://stblaize.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. The Daily Vitriol, or, A Comment I Wrote. I have Netflix. I get one DVD at a time, and watch TV hosted by Netflix on the computer. Recently Netflix changed their online viewer, and made the mistake of asking my opinion about the quality of my most recent viewing. I felt obligated to tell them. I didn't think I was in a particularly splenetic mood, but I guess I was. Or maybe I'm always like this. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Daily Vitriol, or, A Comment I Wrote. Gnomes of the...
