Jackie Strange: Hiccups, LSD, migraines
http://jackiestrange.blogspot.com/2013/01/hiccups-lsd-migraines.html
Sunday, January 06, 2013. Hiccups, LSD, migraines. When I was little my grandmother taught me how to get rid of the hiccups. You hold your breath and say (silently, in your head, because you're holding your breath) "Hiccups, stickups, straightups. Nine sips of water will cure my hiccups." Then, still holding that same breath, you take nine separate. Now if someone did, in fact, put some LSD in my tea without me knowing it, and if I'd never had the experience of a psychedelic drug, I could imagine that it...

Jackie Strange: This stuff makes me nuts
http://jackiestrange.blogspot.com/2013/02/this-stuff-makes-me-nuts.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. This stuff makes me nuts. I did, in fact, like the movie Lincoln. Very much. I'm not a historian - I don't think I could qualify even as an "amateur historian," but I have been finding reading and listening to American history the past few years both exciting and rewarding. It started with Battle Cry of Freedom. Is there any reason at all to actually falsify the historical record. When that record is unambiguous? I think Spielberg should refilm the scene or dub in “Illino...

Jackie Strange: Saying goodbye to Bo
http://jackiestrange.blogspot.com/2012/11/saying-goodbye-to-bo.html
Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Saying goodbye to Bo. Bo had a lot of fun helping with the trick or treaters at Halloween. But after the kids had stopped coming and the porch light got turned off, he didn't want his supper. Very uncharacteristic, but then sometimes dogs go off their food for a day or so. It was a little worrisome, because at treat time, he came into the kitchen but had trouble sitting up. His feet kept sliding out from under him. And he looked at the treat, but didn't want it. When it was ti...

Jackie Strange: Now
http://jackiestrange.blogspot.com/2013/03/now.html
Tuesday, March 26, 2013. DEAR MR. EGGLESTON by Greg Bottoms. I bet you take photographs—of a light bulb in a red ceiling, a dinner table just before people sit down to eat, an old man sitting on a bed . . . . To say This is, this right here is absolutely real in space and time, irreducible and ineluctable, and I witnessed it and I captured it; I lived deeply inside of this particular now. Cover of William Eggleston's book. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Two of my favorites. En la sierra de Madrid.

Jackie Strange: Winter
http://jackiestrange.blogspot.com/2013/01/winter.html
Sunday, January 06, 2013. It was looking like we weren't going to have winter this year. I harvested my last tomatoes in mid-December before the first frost, more than a month after it should have come. No winter to speak of last year. Since we got back, there has been winter, at least as Texans define it. This morning the sun rose into a sky so clear, so blue. The sunlight dazzled, the thin frost on the planks of the porch sparkling like glitter. Where the cabin was. Every day I had a reason why I had t...
