Killer Cotton: Random Points
http://killercotton.blogspot.com/2006/12/random-points.html
Sunday, December 24, 2006. 1 When I'm flying, why do flight attendants tell us to "place your phones in the off position? This makes no sense. Why don't they just tell us to turn them off? 2 When I began watching the Daily Show regularly this year, I like to think I was one of the first to spot Stephen Colbert's talent. I would say to Eliza, "That guy should have his own show." Now he does. Where's my prize? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Jobs that I Want II. My Invention: Digital Bumper Sticker.

Killer Cotton: October 2006
http://killercotton.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 08, 2006. Special Guest Posting on Queer Politics/Marriage. A special guest posting from James:. Why is it wrapped up and confused with all these other things. Yeah yeah I realize I’m not writing anything new, but we do need to go back to the past and revisit the struggle for queer liberation and recognize that it’s not about the right to live together forever (maybe, possibly? And it is about the following:. Tearing down societal expectations around sex, relationships and mores. Special ...

Killer Cotton: August 2006
http://killercotton.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 18, 2006. Whatever Happened to Chinese Food? 8221; Jorge’s at 3, Sam 2. In that there are certain matters I want to toss into the public domain to solicit responses from the blogosphere. In short, I want to try to get others to do my research. Honestly, I’m pretty busy these days. Is this how wiki works? If not, I’ll have to do the research myself. Here’s what we need to know. How many Chinese restaurants were there in America every 5 years from 1950 to the present? Has the number declined?

Killer Cotton: On Discipline
http://killercotton.blogspot.com/2006/12/on-discipline.html
Sunday, December 24, 2006. I announced my Reading Year a couple months ago, but really this is part of a larger strategy. I have been thinking a lot of the concept of discipline and the role it plays in our lives. I can hear my parents laughing now; for they think I’m most undisciplined. And Eliza accuses me of selective application of the concept. But I hope I’m not doing that and don’t think so. Many of us want something more. This is where discipline comes in. I should take it down. Much of my success...

Killer Cotton: On Discipline II
http://killercotton.blogspot.com/2006/12/on-discipline-ii.html
Wednesday, December 27, 2006. It may all be a hustle, but. This waking up early thing is very counterintuitive for anyone who knows me. In high school, my parents were convinced I would flunk out because I was what you might call an extreme napper. I still like to get 8 hours a sleep nightly, and have just never been able to be one of those highly productive people who functions well on 4 hours nightly. We'll explore this concept further if it goes anywhere. I haven't read it carefully yet, but the NY Ti...

Killer Cotton: Great Epitaphs Contest
http://killercotton.blogspot.com/2006/12/great-epitaphs-contest.html
Saturday, December 09, 2006. Well, given the heavy traffic on my blog, this is a bit of a risk, but I'm going to start a contest. Whoever can put forth the greatest epitaph wins. Epitaph, according to dictionary.com: "a commemorative inscription on a tomb or mortuary monument about the person buried at that site.". To get your juices flowing, check out Wikipedia: http:/ en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Epitaphs. A whole epitaph seems like too much of a commitment for my comment.maybe limit it to 6 words.

Killer Cotton: December 2006

Thursday, December 28, 2006. Jobs that I Want II. That posting on jobs that I want didn't really go anywhere a while back. I think that posting was my lamest. But I'm still getting the hang of this blog thing. I was at Eliza's family home in Kansas the past few days, and spent some time with her parents, Stan and Sheila. Sheila used to be a librarian. Naturally my answer is yes. But what if we lived in a world with less injustice? Wouldn't it be fun to be a librarian, or professor, or writer then? Here's...

Killer Cotton: November 2006
http://killercotton.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 20, 2006. A couple months ago, I looked over at Eliza and declared: "I'm having a reading year." What, one is lead to wonder, is a reading year? A reading year is a period of intense reading activity, often undertaken in midlife, so as to prevent one's brain from turning to mush. (I turned 35 last month.) A reading year is a voluntary vow of television poverty, of sleeping poverty, of knowledge wealth. It is the essence of mental aerobics. The Last Templar - by Raymond Khoury. I'm trying...
