remember, kids: "dull" is just the first syllable of "dulcimer." #<\/a><\/li>\n
the weather is temperate this evening; the sky is clear; the stars are out. … what's that you say? monday deadline? oh. right, then. #<\/a><\/li>\n
it's the dayjob… of the night! #<\/a><\/li>\n
@nicoletaylor28<\/a> relatively common in nc. these nights are like figs: the ants climb streetlights into the sky to fetch down the ripest ones. in reply to nicoletaylor28<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
I told you you could hang around and work for food if you don't mind sleeping in that car yonder. #<\/a><\/li>\n
The monks of old slept in their coffins, but they wasn't as advanced as we are. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@2muchexposition<\/a> and insulin. (congrats on the hugo nomination.) in reply to 2muchexposition<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
it's spring: i want a motorcycle. http:\/\/bit.ly\/cCYadC<\/a> (all hail hunter s. thompson) #<\/a><\/li>\n
recovering from undefined brain-ailment. pollen, maybe, if pollen is a virus that hunkers down behind my eyes & hits them with a tiny shovel #<\/a><\/li>\n
all we are saying is give bees to france. #<\/a><\/li>\n
or, you know, sieve leads the fence, shrive peas to mench, live treats a stance, miff cease the trance. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@Keffy<\/a> i give metric four stars, which converts to 11.208731558 skypoints in the english system. in reply to Keffy<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@nalohopkinson<\/a> also, those people who answer the phone, "Cello?" in reply to nalohopkinson<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@Templesmith<\/a> i got ham but i'm not a hamster. in reply to Templesmith<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
probabilistic inference applied to artificial intelligence. http:\/\/bit.ly\/dnjedh<\/a> (via futurismic) #<\/a><\/li>\n
listening to audio of the epistle of james, from the new testament, in koine greek. #<\/a><\/li>\n
possible problem with crowdsourced audio recording: one lady might read greek with a spanish accent, another guy might read like rod serling #<\/a><\/li>\n
@smoonen<\/a> "these people are scattered across the world, suffering. suffering in a manner they could only find in… the twilight zone." in reply to smoonen<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@heatheralbano<\/a> i like hearing the sound of it. wish i could speak (or, better: read) koine greek. alas. in reply to heatheralbano<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
RT @warrenellis<\/a> @joemuggs: No WAY! Download a whole folder of Delia Derbyshire's handwritten manuscripts & notes… http:\/\/bit.ly\/cp4NVM<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
listening to bombadil's "tarpits and canyonlands." five songs in, and i conclude: it is excellent so far. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@vyemoran<\/a> how did you like that ending? in reply to vyemoran<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
this one goes out to @plasticbrentley<\/a> & @tofermoran<\/a>. RT @mynameis_shoe<\/a>: AAAND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII http:\/\/is.gd\/bj0Go<\/a> … #<\/a><\/li>\n
@vyemoran<\/a> yech. harry potter should have stayed dead. the "albus severus" ending is the worst. the worst. in reply to vyemoran<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n

apparently, searching "paleoeterologist discipleship vatfarm" in google yields me no hits. #shocker<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
trading off reading flannery o'connor's letters, ernest hemingway's complete short stories, vol 1 of bola\u00c3\u00b1o's 2666, & james joyce's ulysses. #<\/a><\/li>\n
the cocktail of these books is gurgling my brain mighty fine. #<\/a><\/li>\n
@mkazoo<\/a> slow, so far. if the back cover hadn't yammered on about a serial killer, i wouldn't mind the pace. but we'll see how it goes. in reply to mkazoo<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
incredulous that bely's essay, "Rhythm as Dialectic in The Bronze Horseman," is this hard to find in translation. snip: http:\/\/bit.ly\/b1uCkg<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
why i want it: that is a GRAPH OF POETRY. & nabokov references it, so it's not like it's obscure. maybe the library can sneakfind it for me. #<\/a><\/li>\n
(i'll probably just read the wikipedia summary of nabakov's referencing essay, "notes on prosody," but that's a few too many steps removed.) #<\/a><\/li>\n
@plasticbrentley<\/a>: RT @paolobacigalupi<\/a> @gryphoness: … relative of komodo dragon discovered in the Philippines http:\/\/bit.ly\/c0Z8Qw<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
more 8-bit arrangements: "kind of bloop," redoing miles davis. http:\/\/bit.ly\/2prdk<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@rquat<\/a> it's certainly pretty neat, though i'm not as impressed as that. i very much want to write the game to which this is soundtrack. in reply to rquat<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
@tofermoran<\/a> does she have a glass clockwork eye yet? in reply to tofermoran<\/a> #<\/a><\/li>\n
