You said you didn't see youself working at a bar for long, because dealing with the public was a thankless task and the burnout factor was high.


thankless task indeed

The prayer of the bones, said Julius. The yearning for health. The virtue of danger. The tenacity of the forgotten...The limits of memory. The wisdom of plants. The eye of parasites. The agility of the earth. The merit of the soldier. The cunning of the giant. The hole of the will. Magnificent, said my good friend Ulises in German. Extraordinary.

To all the dads on my GRF list HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!!

Not until today had I heard of the Yulin festival and I have no words. I am pasting the link to the Humane Society International petition against the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, which is happening this weekend. Also, if you google Yulin Festival be prepared for heart breaking pictures.

#Bloomsday

Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth. What's a suzerain? A keeper. A keeper or overlord. Why not say keeper then? Because he is a special kind of keeper. A suzerain rules even where there are other rulers. His authority countermands local judgements. Toadvine spat.

...those right pilgrims nameless among the stones with their terrible wounds...& the naked torsos bristling w/ arrowshafts. Some by their beards were men but yet wore strange menstrual wounds between theirs legs and no man's parts for these had been cut away and hung dark and strange from out their grinning mouths. In their wigs of dried blood they lay gazing up with ape's eyes at brother sun now rising in the east.

Nothing moved in that high wilderness save the wind....If much in the world were mystery the limits of that world were not, for it was without measure or bound and there were contained within it creatures more horrible yet and men or other colors and beings which no man has looked upon and yet not alien none of it more than were their own hearts alien in them, whatever wilderness contained there and whatever beasts.

I hate Glanton.

The kid spat dryly and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. A lizard came out from under a rock and crouched on its small cocked elbows over that piece of froth and drank it dry and returned to the rock again leaving only a faint spot in the sand which vanished almost instantly.

His eyes are wet, he speaks slowly. The wrath of God lies sleeping. It was hid a million years before men were and only men have the power to wake it. Hell aint half full. Hear me. Ye carry war of a madman's making onto a foreign land. Ye'll wake more than the dogs. (pg. 43)

Whatt??

"He knew what periphrasis was. Not very well, but he knew. But he didn't know what pentapody was, and he didn't know what a nicharchean was either, or what a tetrastich was.....A rispetto, professor, is a kind of lyrical verse, romantic to be precise similar to the strambotto, with six or eight hendecasyllabic lines, the first four in the form of a serventesio and the following composed in rhyming couplets."

"A difficult tribe, these women!"..."No dramatics, please, no dramatics," Azazello responded, grimacing. "After all , my position isn't enviable either. Punching a house manager on the jaw, or kicking out an uncle, or shooting someone, or other trifles of that kind - those are directly in my line. But talking to women in love - thank you kindly!...Here I've been struggling with you for half an hour...so you'll come?"
