salt & paper: April 2012
http://saltandpaper.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 07, 2012. In Joshua Foer’s nifty new book about the art of memory, Moonwalking with Einstein. He says that memorizing connects us to an oral tradition in which the culture’s most valuable ideas weren’t written down but memorized. One of the main qualities of a good memorizer is the ability to look to the past. Surprise, surprise: Americans are notoriously poor at committing stuff to memory because we’re so focused on the future. This all to say that it has been challenging adjusting to ha...

salt & paper: July 2012
http://saltandpaper.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. One of the reasons I like to travel, aside from all the relaxing and adventuring, is the chance to reevaluate my life at home. I find that the perfect formula for quality self-reflection is geographical distance routine change not having to clean my house. Bea scribbles, and I fill in the occasional triangle until she wrenches the pencil out of my hand. Hey, what's wrong with cheese and a baguette for dinner? It's romantic, in an impoverished kind of way! Or, what if I make a ton.

Thursday, May 17, 2007. I'm done my semester! So: apropos of nothing (since when does anything on a blog need to be apropos of anything? How about a little post about music? 1 Here are the songs that saw me through a marathon of paper writing. Each one deserves special thanks, and if you haven't met them yet, you should. Thanks, friends. Gravity, The Handsome Family. So Much Wine, The Handsome Family. Loves Comes to Me, Bonnie Prince Billy. By My Car, My Morning Jacket. Monster Ballads, Josh Ritter.

salt & paper: June 2007
http://saltandpaper.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 03, 2007. Look Ma, I edited Wikipedia! I knocked boldly at the gates of the Wiki gods, and they let me in. Or, more accurately, I exercised my democratic right to make stuff up, take stuff out and potentially alter the research papers of legions of undergraduates (more another day on how freshmen looove to quote Wikipedia and assume their professors are incapable of using google). Anyway, I changed an entry. And it felt very good. You should try it sometime. That such a career might exist).

salt & paper: March 2007
http://saltandpaper.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 17, 2007. A dark, brainy little thought. I recently heard a physicist discuss the role of unpredictability in science and life. He remarked that someone should do an MRI study in order to determine how the feeling of uncertainty is registered on the brain. His guess is that it is there and that it probably looks a lot like pain. I've never thought of it this way before, but it makes perfect sense. Uncertainty is. A kind a pain. And just as I type that, I've thought of one: "hurtin' me".

Thursday, June 07, 2012. What does each noun mean? Here's Ray Bradbury on writing in a conversation with Paris Review. His advice reminds me of Lynda Barry's exercises in What It Is. I wonder if Barry knew the interview or if the two writers were just thinking along on the same, marvelous cosmic wave length. I did it by making lists of nouns and then asking, What does each noun mean? What does it mean to me? Why did I put this noun down and not some other word?

Monday, March 07, 2011. Such a good read. Promises I Can Keep. Is easily one of the best books- fiction and nonfiction included- I’ve read this year. When I first saw it cited on a blog, my interest was piqued by the subtitle: "Why Poor Women put Motherhood before Marriage.". I instantly had to know the answer. Why do they?

Sunday, April 22, 2007. Wars, calamity, ships a-sailin', Trojan horses, Grendel's mom, songs of yourself, cyclopses, burning cities, swords. Don't get me wrong. Big poems on big themes are wonderful. But sometimes don't you just have a taste for a poem about something very small? Or a cat's paw? How about an atom? A fellow student just turned me on to these great atom-themed poems by Margaret Cavendish (1623-1673):. The Weight of Atomes. Are as small, as small can bee,. They must in quantity. 8212;heaven...
