I Do Not Think That They Will Sing To Me: 03/07/2010 - 03/14/2010

Girl Scout Cookies Reconsidered. Phone conversation with my sister-in-law this afternoon. It's totally relative, but I was surprised to discover that Tagalongs have fewer calories than I thought. And my client gave me a box of Do-Si-Dos a few weeks back, and those weren't bad at all. Yeah, but Do-Si-Dos are kind of the bastard cousin of Tagalongs. True They are sort of redneck-y. In case I haven't mentioned, I have the best sister-in-law ever. EVER.]. Maybe it makes sense in the original German.

In Praise of the Revised-Draft World. I'm not familiar with Markson or his work, and I'm not really one for experimental fiction any more than I am for experimental art, but I loved this tidbit about his reaction to the online world (and yes, I see the irony of posting this here). Later he wrote: 'I have just taken the sheets out of the trash basket and torn them into even smaller pieces.'". From "Fan Letter to Pen Pal," by John Williams, NYT Book News, April 20, 2014).

2010 Hunger Challenge, Days 4 and 5: In Praise of Distraction/Life Interferes. Unhealthy as this is, it's actually fairly handy: no need to interrupt the flow of the work I'm doing and no weirdness or worry about when, how, where, and what to eat when I'm in someone else's home or office. Sometime in the middle of the afternoon, I had an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie from the batch I'd made on Saturday (15¢), along with some water. But that forgetting, of course, can't last. Can't last, and doesn't. ...

I Do Not Think That They Will Sing To Me: 2010 Hunger Challenge, Day 2: What $4 (Plus 2 Potatoes, 1 Apple, and a Cucumber) Looks Like

2010 Hunger Challenge, Day 2: What $4 (Plus 2 Potatoes, 1 Apple, and a Cucumber) Looks Like. It is literally and existentially exhausting to have to think all the time about what every single bit of your food costs. I've only been doing this for two days and already I'm tired of it. Here, for your reading pleasure, is a rundown of what I ate today, and roughly what it cost. Coffee with milk and sugar: 40¢. 2-egg omelet with cheese: 55¢. 1/2 cup orange juice: 13¢. PB&J on whole wheat: 45¢. This list reads...

Who's Left and Who's Leaving. Last night Scott and I sit in the lounge at Jardiniere, sipping fancy-ass drinks and debating which cheese on the platter before us is the most pungent. (For the record, Scott? It was that sheep-y one, case closed.) Within 24 hours he'll have emptied his apartment here in San Francisco and will be on a plane to Boston- a mirror image, nearly 3 weeks to the day, of Jenn's departure for New York at the end of May. This is proof that they'll stay for a bit, right?

Songs for an Achy but Hopeful Heart. I just watched, in his Tiny Desk concert from All Songs Considered, John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats sing "Going to Georgia," and promptly embarked on a brief but intense crying jag. (You, too, should take 12 minutes and 39 seconds to watch the full little concert. Explosion of tears optional.). What the hell with the sobbing? A few weeks hence, that all seemed to play out nicely. At least for a little while. Everything else is fair game. Gimme what you got. A...

I Do Not Think That They Will Sing To Me: Numbers, Bulk Foods, and Real Caffeine
http://divert.blogspot.com/2009/09/numbers-bulk-foods-and-real-caffeine.html
Numbers, Bulk Foods, and Real Caffeine. It's day 1 of my participation in the San Francisco Food Bank's Hunger Challenge. And I can already share my first lesson: no matter how much cheaper tea may be than coffee, attempting to substitute the former for the latter as my daily caffeine source is a huge mistake. Join me, won't you, on the journey to figure that out. The likelihood of my continuing this insanely detailed math for everything I eat, condiments and all, is slim. So here and now, I'm making...
