My darling wife Susan reads from the introduction of Thug Kitchen.  It will sear your virgin ears like a juicy pork chop.

    I’m just glad the light is low enough to de-emphasize my excess weight. And glad I lost some of that weight this past year. All I have to do now is lose some more and maybe finally use that book to learn to marinate my effing tofu.

      At least you're not skinny-fat. That's the worst possible type of physique, and I'm stuck with it.

    By the way, I only just found out that Thug Kitchen changed their name to “Bad Manners”. This happened during the summer of 2020 when a lot of people were prompted to change their names due to unintended racial connotations. The company didn’t intend that, but they went with “Bad Manners” so they could still be famous as the vegan cookbook full of swear words and an intentional anti-elitist attitude.

My Cosmic Carpet.

This began as a post-it sketch I made outdoors in Thomas Paine Park on April 1, 2004.  It was unusually balmy for that time of year and I was in a peaceful state of mind. As anyone who knows me can tell you, I am an aficionado of the Sumerian goddess Inanna.  I have collected every book I could find involving her, most prominently Inanna - Queen of Heaven and Earth by  Diane Wolkstein and Samuel Noah Kramer. In one chapter of Wolkstein and Kramer's book, Inanna is described as traveling through the sky in the "Boat of Heaven."  Some people (whose names I can't remember off the top of my head) have inferred that the Boat of Heaven signifies Inanna's vulva.  Others (whose names I can't recall immediately) say that this Boat of Heaven is no different than Helios' Sun Chariot or Anubis' boat which travels through the Underworld.  Others say the Boat of Heaven is the conveyance of the planet Venus, who in Sumerian mythology was embodied by Inanna.  There i...

What NOT To Do After Meditation.

The 21st century can be a bitch. Even more so than the 20th century, the 21st has all sorts of media that can saturate your eyes, ears, and brain.  Even what you taste, touch and smell is synthesized.  Take for example the microwavable Indian food (which is my weakness) that can seduce two of your senses until you grow bored of the flavor and aroma.  Touch screens do away with those pesky keyboards, though many people of my generation opt for a peripheral keyboard to get the sensation of sitting in front of the electric typewriters we were trained to use in intermediate school.  Nonetheless, the power we have at our fingertips is manufactured. So, what was I talking about?  Oh, yeah.  Meditation and the altered states of consciousness it provides.  One more digression and then I'll get to the heart of the matter. Your favorite music alters your consciousness.  It either mellows you out or it charges you up.  An abrupt change of one state of c...

A Screening of Cocaine Bear at Alamo Drafthouse!

Image
  On Sunday, February 26th, my wife indulged my fondest wish for the beginning of the moviegoing year.   We went to see the much ballyhooed Cocaine Bear . Now I have seen two films this year prior to Cocaine Bear.   There was the three hour epic Avatar: The Way of Water .   I went into the theater for that film with great trepidation.   I had had my fill of three hour epics since Avengers: End Game and wanted no more of it.   However, I had been surprised by how well James Cameron mapped out the flora, fauna, astronomy, and culture of the various tribes of Na’vi of the moon of Pandora.   It is a lower tier Middle Earth, but it had me ask questions of the clash of cultures and how our own local astronomy helped mold our cultures and psyches. Wait, was I talking about Cocaine Bear ?   One more digression. Todd Field’s film TÁR , the tale of the rise and fall of a fictitious musical conductor played by Cate Blanchett is another exploration into an e...
