pay it around
Someone’s been good to me today, so I’m going to rustle around here in my kit bag and try to make the internet shine a little bit for her tonight. (Also, big HAY to my friend Deb who took me Tibet House last night for a talk on “Bare Attention,” which involved a meditation where one of the speakers—I couldn’t see who—asked everybody to turn their cell phones on, in the hopes of increasing the audio information in the air. The other peak of the night was the woman who spoke up and said she had an aversion to therapists who meditate because her colleague meditates and it annoys her. This was said in a room full of meditating therapists who, to their credit, enjoyed her dissent.) Yes, I will do that “Lost” bullshit tonight, even though I am watching the show now as a completist more than as a fan. The descent into narrative spaghetti has me feeling like I showed up at some nerd fraternity’s spring bash and they’re unveiling the winner of the “Spring Madness Challenge”:
HEY GUYS!!! THE ASSIGNMENT THIS TIME IS TO MAKE UP A TREASURE HUNT THAT USES TIME TRAVEL, POLAR BEARS AND THE NAME “SAYID.” YOU MUST USE *ALL* THREE. SEARCH AREA IS LIMITED TO THE QUAD ONLY, PLEASE :) (WE’VE HAD COMPLAINTS FROM TOWNIES ABOUT THE KNIFESCREEN AT AU BON PAIN.) A/V APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. GOOD LUCK! [something in Fortran]
I am adding Karl Hector & The Malcouns to my 2008 list, because that record kept me alive in today’s Scandinavian suicide weather. The Malcouns have a new live show up at Red Bull Music Academy. And I waffled last year about including it anyway. (Oh? And Demon Fuzz? GOT IT.)
