Paul Margach: January 2007
http://paulmargach.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 30, 2007. Borat's On Ice Reign of Terror. As if the football club. Wasn't woeful enough, Thailand has now reached a new high in ineptness in hockey. Posted by Paul Margach. You know if I'm able to make it in at this time then anyone can. So where is everyone? They'll never forget what they've learned if they don't show up. Posted by Paul Margach. Friday, January 26, 2007. Catching up with H. So much for being glorified typewriters, I think I'm actually beginning to get the grasp of HTML ...

Paul Margach: "Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on": More stamina fun!
http://paulmargach.blogspot.com/2007/02/until-tomorrow-ill-just-keep-movin-on.html
Thursday, February 22, 2007. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep movin' on". No, I'm not rejoicing a blog posting - insubstantial as this is - after much neglect these past few days but happy, at long last, to say that I tried dog soup! Pictures and a longer story will follow in the next day or so but suffice it to say that the taste, the smell, the curious environment, the mental image of my sister's dog Howie and the girlfriend next to me making obscene "Woof! We'll see just how much I remember tomorrow.

Paul Margach: The Grain Elevator Paradox
http://paulmargach.blogspot.com/2007/02/grain-elevator-paradox.html
Friday, February 9, 2007. The Grain Elevator Paradox. Don't know what you got till it's gone. Don't know what it is I did so wrong. Now I know what I got, it's just this song. And it ain't easy to get back, takes so long. In the shade of every moment I bled. Such a sorrow was to be expected. I let a good thing go. Some things crossing my mind of late, other than the fast-approaching 33 1/3. Of Borges' character, how much I hate taking the last bite of a great meal and why Mike Vernon. And the same thing ...

Paul Margach: Wither the Korean Economy?
http://paulmargach.blogspot.com/2007/02/wither-korean-economy.html
Tuesday, February 6, 2007. Wither the Korean Economy? Ever since I arrived here in Korea my students have been telling me about how terrible the Korean economy is. Leaving aside my lefty tendencies that consider all economies to be terrible (any system that relies upon people buying more and more things they mostly don't need can't be anything but), this claim to economic mediocrity begs the obvious question: what makes it so terrible? Construction of office towers and high rise apartment buildings does ...

Paul Margach: What a croc!
http://paulmargach.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-croc.html
Thursday, March 22, 2007. Having been otherwise preoccupied as of late, I've been trying to get reacquainted with some of my old favourites on the web this week (insert joke here). Normally a visit to Kai. S blog is a useful way to remind myself of just how technologically imbecilic I've been ever since Turtle. Became passe but his recent thoughts on the corrupt Croc footwear industry. Have given me pause for thought (I really must open a book one of these days). Posted by Paul Margach. Http:/ www.yo...

Paul Margach: Find a city, find myself a city to live in
http://paulmargach.blogspot.com/2007/02/find-city-find-myself-city-to-live-in.html
Tuesday, February 6, 2007. Find a city, find myself a city to live in. With one of my former adopted homes currently in a state that makes it even more unliveable than normal. Another still under the jackboot of martial law. And Basildon being, well, Basildon. You'd think I'd feel a little more well disposed towards both my hometown and Bucheon, my city of residence over the last eleven months. But I have my reasons for not being all that crazy about either of them. I'm set to return to Calgary. Once it ...

Paul Margach: What, no Reckless?
http://paulmargach.blogspot.com/2007/01/what-no-reckless.html
Monday, January 8, 2007. What, no Reckless? I've just learned that the brilliant 33 1/3. Series of music books has put out a call for submissions. Call this one of my crazy schemes but I'm determined to send off a proposal for their Valentine's Day deadline. For the uninitiated, 33 1/3 are an ever-expanding series of books focusing on albums. They've shown a noble determination to shy away from the all-too-obvious and the frequently-written-about (. For example, or. The Queen is Dead. But what to pick?

Paul Margach: That creep sure can roll, man (or Ode to Ion Replenishment)
http://paulmargach.blogspot.com/2007/02/that-creep-sure-can-roll-man-or-ode-to.html
Tuesday, February 6, 2007. That creep sure can roll, man (or Ode to Ion Replenishment). I first tried Pocari Sweat. Back in Indonesia and immediately regretted doing so. Tasting vaguely like a flat Fresca. Mixed with salty water, I had it pegged as one of those Asian curiosities - like their penchant for red bean pastries and men dressed in pink.

Paul Margach: Is there Something/Anything else I can do?
http://paulmargach.blogspot.com/2007/03/is-there-somethinganything-else-i-can.html
Thursday, March 22, 2007. Is there Something/Anything else I can do? The results are in. And now I can go back to despairing about my literary future instead of dreaming wistfully about it. But the summer of 2008 isn't all that far off and, assuming the upcoming Van Dyke Parks and Nas books don't drive the whole enterprise into the ground, there's no time like the present to keep the fantasies alive. Chips from the Chocolate Fireball. Eli and the Thirteenth Confession. By The Residents (or, possibly,.
