Blogito Ergo Sum: Three More Kings
http://blogrr.blogspot.com/2014/02/three-more-kings.html
Or: Put Descartes Before the Horse. Sunday, February 09, 2014. The rereading Stephen King. And I appear to be making better headway than the guy who gave me the idea. For this, who stalled back in November with Four Past Midnight. I have also been alternating with other things, as reading only Stephen King will probably eat my brain. Charles Palliser’s Rustication. Was very good (I read his Dickensian debut The Quincunx. Was also very good, and I got some mileage out of it. As well as rereading V. Killin...

Blogito Ergo Sum: Ride the King's Highway
http://blogrr.blogspot.com/2013/06/ride-kings-highway.html
Or: Put Descartes Before the Horse. Thursday, June 06, 2013. Ride the King's Highway. Despite the lack of blogging, the Rereading Stephen King Project. Has actually been continuing behind the scenes. Which does raise the question: if you do something in your life and do not blog, tweet, or update Facebook about it, can it be said that you did it at all? Anyway, we continue:. The Talisman (with Peter Straub) (1984). First off, boy did King (and Straub) really like Lord of the Rings. Via the 1981 movie.

Blogito Ergo Sum: June 2013
http://blogrr.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Or: Put Descartes Before the Horse. Sunday, June 16, 2013. Happy Bloomsday.Amongst Other Days. When literature nerds and other assorted dorks (like me) around the world celebrate James Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses. Which chronicles Leopold Bloom's perambulations around Dublin on June 16, 1904. (Leopold Bloom becomes a father figure to Stephen Dedalus, so it is not un-apropos to Father's Day.) How did I celebate this year? Why, with a special CrossFit workout I made up called "The Bloomsday":. Tolkein), and...

Blogito Ergo Sum: A Kings' Ransom
http://blogrr.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-kings-ransom.html
Or: Put Descartes Before the Horse. Monday, October 14, 2013. Yeah, it has been a while. Things to do, people to see, places to go. But it has given me ample time to continue through the Stephen King bibliography. And an email from Steven H. (not Stephen K.) reminded me that I have not updated this in a while. So, here is where I have been. From the slim Misery. He is also at his most self-referential in this one. In Misery. 8221; scene in the film version of The Shining. At the end of The Tommyknockers.

Blogito Ergo Sum: November 2013
http://blogrr.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Or: Put Descartes Before the Horse. Thursday, November 07, 2013. I just got a very strange wrong number…"I'm looking for some hubcaps." Really? I know little about cars, but when was the last time cars used hubcaps? Back when I was a kid in the 1970s, "stealing hubcaps" was the archetypal activity of juvenile delinquents, even though I had no idea why anyone would actually want to steal them. Was there a lucrative black market for hubcaps back then? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Astronomy Picture of the Day.

Blogito Ergo Sum: February 2013
http://blogrr.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Or: Put Descartes Before the Horse. Sunday, February 10, 2013. OK, so I’m not going crazy (well, at least not in this respect); I didn’t think. They named winter storms, much less something as dorky as “Nemo” (most folks think of the animated fish, but nemo. As Jules Verne could tell you, is actually Latin for “no one”—a bit of an ironic name, especially if you are in New England). Back in my day, we had to be content with referring to “The Blizzard of 1978.”. Anyway, it turns out. It Might Have Been.

Blogito Ergo Sum: December 2012
http://blogrr.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Or: Put Descartes Before the Horse. Monday, December 31, 2012. Back to Britain 1: Of Banquets and Bunkers. Reasons why traveling to popular international destinations over the Christmas holiday is a bad idea—the days are very short and daylight ends around 4:00 or 4:30. We experienced all four of these problems when Ken A. and I did London for Christmas back in 2008. The outbound flight was generally OK, although right behind us, a child screamed the whole way. We arrived at Heathrow early the following ...
