Methods of Escape: januari 2008

Keeping the Fires Lit and a Passport at the Ready. Torsdag, januari 10, 2008. All About the Benjamins. This kills me: the FBI can't pay its phone-tapping bills. Can you script it better than that? Nope Reality is stranger than fiction, and perhaps full of more poetic justice than poetry. So the coal industry in southern Illinois wasn't long for the world then. It collapsed. A museum was built in an old mine to remember this once-vibrant (though rather dirty) industry. Posted by cK at 11:40 fm. The buildi...

Methods of Escape: mars 2008

Keeping the Fires Lit and a Passport at the Ready. Tisdag, mars 25, 2008. Sunset outside my sister's house in Elk River, Minnesota. I was back in Swedish class this morning, happily so. Only two of us showed, unfortunately. It's the third tier of the beginning level course. Tier two was bruising for a few class members who seemed not to study save for class mornings. They were just frustrated, I guess, and didn't sign back up. It's a lot like living with someone. The Swedish word for married is gift.

Methods of Escape: juli 2008

Keeping the Fires Lit and a Passport at the Ready. Onsdag, juli 30, 2008. In the Company of Wolves. One year as I struggled through the Human Stain, a company faxed me a photocopy of another company's product data. They'd made revisions to the names, changing the names of the products to their own product names. A weak explanation on the form indicated that they had an agreement with this other company and that this would be an okay edit. THINGS THAT HAPPEN ONCE. Money in the bank for the scraper. All of...

Keeping the Fires Lit and a Passport at the Ready. Torsdag, februari 28, 2008. AN ACT OF THEFT. The above photo and the following note that went with it were sent to me by my friend John, a reference librarian in Illinois. The combo of image and note kills me. I'm posting it here without permission:. My new exercise regime: Run at a barbed wire fence. Leap into full body flip, then chuck an axe at a target. Three sets of ten, twice daily. Yesterday the Wall Street Journal. Mob mentality and mob posting a...

Methods of Escape: oktober 2007
http://methodsofescape.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Keeping the Fires Lit and a Passport at the Ready. Fredag, oktober 26, 2007. It's about time. Yeesh. Posted by cK at 8:58 fm. Torsdag, oktober 25, 2007. Approaching the City from the Air. Increasingly each Netflix DVD I receive is a shiny, round, flat piece of crap about 4.5-inches in diameter. Each arrives with a 0.5-inch hole in the center. As the modern toilet is not configured to accept rigid waste of this shape, I instead opt for putting these pieces of crap in my DVD player. No joy. It arrived,...

Keeping the Fires Lit and a Passport at the Ready. Lördag, augusti 09, 2008. A Method of Escape: Cabin Weekend. If you're looking for a political screed, you've come to the wrong blog. We're getting the hell out of here for 24 hours. Time for a visit to the cabin, take in a little lakeside air, drink some tea- we're even leaving the wine in St. Paul- and enjoy a little fireside chat. And we're going to live like the beasts of the forest (the people, that is): we're going to grill our dinner. You already ...

Keeping the Fires Lit and a Passport at the Ready. Lördag, september 29, 2007. I'm cooking today with the Muse. Things that need to get done: veggie chili, an onion confit, some roasted vegetables, buffalo steaks on the grill, and a pan-roast of fennel, parsnips, carrots, cherry tomatoes and onion cooked with white wine and thyme. Mmmmm. Not all of this will be for one meal! A couple vendors were selling them for $4. Will post photos and recipes from this weekends cooking. Posted by cK at 10:03 fm. I did...

Methods of Escape: december 2007

Keeping the Fires Lit and a Passport at the Ready. Söndag, december 30, 2007. Your Search Is Over. That's it. It's done: your search for the perfect pizza crust. Possibly for the perfect all-around pizza too. The Muse and I love to cook, and we try each Saturday to make something new. Often, this involves sifting through the wonderful archive of recipes and reviews at Epicurious.com. Which culls various cooking magazines. Not long ago, the Muse discovered this gorgeous pizza. And we recommend you leave a...
