The Hair of the Damned: Spheres of Rice
http://sftw-parva.blogspot.com/2010/08/spheres-of-rice.html
On Monday night I'm going out to dinner at Carluccio's with The Neighbour. Now, normally I tell The Neighbour whatever story something reminds me of, and in the case of Carluccio's I not only have a story but have a story I always. Think of when Carluccio's comes up in conversation, and whenever Carluccio's comes up in conversation with The Neighbour (as it has on a number of occasions). This is a quite good story, but I can't. Yes, I am facile. And, apparently, immature. Posted by Vespertina Quies.

The Hair of the Damned: April 2010
http://sftw-parva.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Goodness Had Nothing to Do with It. Two of my students are either involved with each other or flirting around each other, and it's quite charming to watch. I approve of love: as an entity, particularly an entity newly springing into being, it's hard to resent. And its corollary, "What does that mean, anyway? I should imagine that there are plenty of men out there who are delighted to sleep with bad girls; you needn't go good because you think it'll get you more tail. Indeed, I daresay quite the oppos...

David Bowie's Teeth: Say It Ain't So, Joe!
http://immersiontotal.blogspot.com/2015/08/say-it-aint-so-joe.html
A Blog for the Determined yet Faint of Heart. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Say It Ain't So, Joe! Treated you badly. But apparently getting angry and screaming is the way it's supposed to go. What if he lived to 75 and all his writing was downhill from age 26? He'd be sort of the Maroon 5 of poetry - or maybe the Duran Duran. But apparently this is not how life and death are supposed to work: life is supposed to be seen as a permanent upward trajectory, and even 150 would not be long enough! I wish he'd hurr...

When Cows Attack!: May 2015
http://immersiontotal.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A Blog for the Determined yet Faint of Heart. Sunday, May 31, 2015. A Fair Old Clip. Look at that dial! That's right: there's a little dial on the outer side of each shoe, and when you put each one on, you turn the dial and the laces (which are actually a piece of strong nylon-covered wire) tighten up. The future is here, people! Here's a tip: it's not about the clicking out. It's about the clicking in. No one had explained to me that clip-in pedals. The eye. Note sweat of exertion. I don't think finding...

The Hair of the Damned: November 2009
http://sftw-parva.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Let's All Keep Calm. From the literally ones of responses that have poured in, it appears that there is concern that people may be defriended. Chillax. No one is going to be defriended. Now, go ahead, second diamond" - although maybe you would. I'm not a gemologist, so what do I know? I am sorry to see this term go. I liked pretty much all my students, and my very. Favourite (from a different cohort) I liked very much. He had a sense of humour, and you could see him actually,. Told me I was naive, and in...

When Cows Attack!: Bill Drummond Is Wrong Once More
http://immersiontotal.blogspot.com/2015/06/bill-drummond-is-wrong-once-more.html
A Blog for the Determined yet Faint of Heart. Monday, June 8, 2015. Bill Drummond Is Wrong Once More. Years ago, I went to hear Bill Drummond, former leader of the KLF. Speak This turned out to be a fairly traumatic experience. And he looked pretty damn badass when he machine-gunned the audience whilst wearing a kilt all those years ago ( ☞. But, hey, from badass to ass; it's a journey of only three letters. There have been something like five Mrs. Drummonds, and I like to think I know why. And I'd glory...

The Hair of the Damned: Leaving
http://sftw-parva.blogspot.com/2010/08/leaving.html
I did not think that at the last minute something would save me, or that the end would never come, but I did think maybe I would have enough time. Who will I talk to? With whom will I be intimate? Who will I love? How will I manage the next 3.5 months? Posted by Vespertina Quies. Today, I share with everyone this topic should be: to the desktop, productivity, Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007. Productivity, operating skills.We respect the three different levels when learning Office 2007.

The Hair of the Damned: May 2010
http://sftw-parva.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
I Say I Say I Say. Lately I've been reading a good deal of disappointing contemporary literature. I read A Place of Greater Safety. By Hilary Mantel, and I liked it so much that I ordered Fludd. Which sounded like the other of her books I would like best. But in fact I find Fludd kind of tedious: it persistently reminds me of a less-successful version of The Ballad of Peckham Rye. A book I absolutely adore. I think I probably just love TBoPR. And today I read Little Gods. Weeeell, what can you do? Let's ...

The Hair of the Damned: March 2010
http://sftw-parva.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
My Favourite Poet Lived in Venice, and All I Got Was This Lousy Sense of What It Must Be Like to Have Sex in an Alley There. So tonight I was watching the video for "Catch," by The Cure. "Catch,". Say "Hee hee hee," or at least he makes a sound that sounds like someone giving a snigger. So it has charm. And I thought to myself, watching the young sweet Bob Smith of the video apparently enjoying himself, What must it have been like to be him then? What was he thinking? What DID he think? This was my view.

The Hair of the Damned: Blood Everywhere
http://sftw-parva.blogspot.com/2010/08/blood-everywhere.html
Temperature at 9pm: 29c/84f. Impressive. So I washed it, and it bled again. I felt like the guy in "A Boy Named Sue,". Down in "the mud and the blood and the beer.". A re-entry. Tomorrow I'm off to Parentshome for a week, including a day in Manhattan to see Jennifer. After that, I'll be putting this blog on hiatus. Before that, though, expect a picture of The Russian Tea Room, Tootsie. Posted by Vespertina Quies. The lowest operating steps of the school operating as Excel. April 11, 2012 at 8:00 AM.
