My Cabinet of Distractions: September 2006
http://memorychick.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
My Cabinet of Distractions. Saturday, September 30, 2006. Not just because I'm off to see Hem later. Today is the day: after I complete three writing tasks (because everything happy in my life these days seems to require at least two or three writing tasks), I leave for Cleveland. My ardent soul leaps up: I feel little embarrassment about saying so. The weather is rainy and blechhy (today's picture of these hallucinatorily lovely leaves, close and not-close, red and not-red, is 24 hours old as I post...

My Cabinet of Distractions: July 2006

My Cabinet of Distractions. Monday, July 31, 2006. Poems are a better fate than prosing. Stopped at the bookstore today after a long lunch with a student I haven't seen in a year, I decided to continue building my twentieth-century poetry collection (so scant, so neglected) by buying James Wright's Above the River: Complete Poems. In pasture where the leaf and wood. Were lorn of all delicious apple,. And underfoot a long and supple. Bough leaned down to dip in mud,. I came before the dark to stare. So, a...

My Cabinet of Distractions. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. How it is that we have come to be where we are. Posted by Dr. S at 11:57 PM. Tuesday, May 30, 2006. While I could offer any number of hot-day reflections, I have houseguests. Tonight (with whom I'm road-tripping to my family and the deaf dog tomorrow, and then! And can I just tell you: my friends showed up tonight with a Making Fiends. Bumper sticker on their car. "Making Fiends! I'll wave at the Hell is Real billboards. For you tomorrow; some of my st...

My Cabinet of Distractions: October 2006
http://memorychick.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
My Cabinet of Distractions. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. In recognition of the day. Someone drew this picture on one of my life's many chalkboards last week, and I think it's possible that you might have to love it, even if you haven't read Dracula. Or even if the idea of a love plot between Mina Harker and Dracula makes you shed a quiet, internal tear every time you encounter it in an adaptation of Stoker's novel. (I might just be talking about myself there.). And yes, Miscellanie's strawberry. You will f...

My Cabinet of Distractions: March 2006
http://memorychick.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
My Cabinet of Distractions. Friday, March 31, 2006. There's gonna be a whole lot of testifying. My writing has been painfully spare of late, in part because of some happy duties to which I'm attending this weekend, caring for others' furry beasties. But here is some of today's quiet riot of Ohioan early spring. Once again today, I spent much of my time staring up into trees not unlike this one, trying to stay patient long enough to see a singing bird. (Do you see him? I've been wanting to photograph this...

My Cabinet of Distractions: April 2006
http://memorychick.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
My Cabinet of Distractions. Sunday, April 30, 2006. An embodiment of the phrase "populous solitude.". Kind of correspondent- again.). Today I am thinking about my dearth of writing to darling ER (giggle, blush) because it is her birthday. I don't know how she's celebrating, but I hope that this message will help bring a beautiful day to a close. I hope, that is, that her birthday has been a beautiful one, the only kind she deserves. Lesson, and said, "Did you hear what happened? Movie She and her sister-...

My Cabinet of Distractions. Thursday, August 31, 2006. The escalator's broken heart. In the Union Square Barnes and Noble, the night before I left New York, we looked for poetry handbooks. The literature is to the right of the escalator. I knew this. I know the layouts of major bookstores in major cities; it's one of the things I do. Who affixes her broken heart to a transparent surface in a bookstore? Posted by Dr. S at 11:06 PM. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. What I do is me. For that I came. There's some...

My Cabinet of Distractions: December 2005
http://memorychick.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
My Cabinet of Distractions. Saturday, December 31, 2005. The year is dead. Long live the year! I ushered in the last day of the old year by sleeping off my Academic Mayhem exhaustion well into the afternoon; it was a bit like returning from a foreign country and needing that first night's sleep to be a good twelve hours or so. Even the dog found my sleeping dull and deserted me. Source for today's image:. The DHD Multimedia Gallery. Posted by Dr. S at 10:46 PM. Friday, December 30, 2005. Asleep with her ...

and so it begins… | Movies Without Carter
https://loosewig.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/hello-world
Help me Carter Schoenfeld, you’re my only hope…. And so it begins…. The first movie Double L and I saw when we first got together was The Bourne Identity. I recall the day and conversation went something like:. Me: hey, do you want to go to the movies? LL: yeah, what’s playing? Me: I don’t know. Let’s just go see what’s about to start. Within the first five minutes of Planet Terror I was reminded of why I love going to these kinds of movies. They’re a hoot, Slim. Carter isn’t moving until late June...
