For the last three days Greta & I have been listening to Nellie Mckay (Mc-EYE). We're totally, droolingly in love with her. We'll be listening to her for many millions of months. And recommend her. Indeed, we go so far as to say, anyone who despises Nellie McKay need not frequent these environs any longer. Go find your cfnm elsewhere. You must be totally fucked up.

Police in Pakistan's Punjab province have formally accused seven people of aiding and abetting a revenge rape on two women.
A landowner reportedly attacked the women after discovering that his own daughter had illicit relations with the brother of one of the women.
The women and the brother come from a poor family.

I do realize that by quoting in Mikarrhea the search strings whereby the sexually obsessed land here, I create a feedback loop geometrically increasing, with each quotation, the number of such strings I get.

Scott McLemee pasted this marvelous observation by Michael Bérubé in the commonplace book section of his abundant literary site (& blog), which I've just begun having fun rummaging around in: The truth is that most of my life is spent in tasks so utterly mundane and banal that it would require new developments in narrative theory simply to try to Mikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14754737654552784861noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701666.post-1082404165717927902004-04-19T15:51:00.000-04:002004-04-19T15:55:00.340-04:00Spalding Gray
One last bit from Crooked Timber, a link to an article in the Houston Press relating an extraordinarily painful story about Spalding Gray's having a sort of nightmarish dissociative episode on stage in Houston last year.

I readily admit I don't swim as far out as many bloggers in the swells of Iraq analysis, but I do take a daily casual dip in the shallows.

Robots Seen As Companions for Elderly

I'm totally depressed.
My ibook crashed again. Same problem. Just won't boot. Fortunately, I can get into Mulholland Drive, at least, by using it as an external hard drive for one of our other computers.

I was starting to tell a story that would eventuate in a rollicking discussion of this fabulous page devoted to musical modality, including some wonderful ancient and medieval theories of modality and also a catchy original composition called "The Phrygian Paraquat Dirge," when I got sidetracked by SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned that my favorite film-reviewer is Elvis Mitchell of the Times (you may need to register --free-- to read Times stuff).
His writing pops and snaps and spins deliriously, always wise, wry, and deliciously surprising. Plus I almost always agree exactly with him. Plus he's dead gorgeous, as you see.

The reason I posted some classic Rorty in full throat in the previous entry is that I wanted to post this equally characteristic jeremiad published this week in the London Review of Books without seeming to be singling him out in a gloomy moment.
