The snow isn't going anywhere at all. Outside, it's 19F and feels like 10F. Tomorrow, the high is only forecast at 30F. There was a minuscule bit of melting yesterday, but it all goes right back to ice as soon as the sun sets. And FedEx never showed with the iPod, and supposedly it's out for delivery again today. I can imagine deliveries must be

The annotated dream-list idea is amazing! It love it, because it gives the impression that things are happening--consistently, a pattern of things happening--without being discussed at all, because they're too familiar/have no apparent bearing on the narrative, from Imp's possibly-unreliable POV. That's the sort of thing that makes the hair on my neck stand up.;)

[greygirlbeast]

I'm pleased you're intrigued.

from Imp's possibly-unreliable POV

I fear she's definitely unreliable. It's become my forté.

It's a good forte to have! And hard to sustain, too.;)

I have a harder and harder time imagining the existence of an actual reliable narrator. It's beginning to feel like a myth.

Okay. Here come the doughnuts.

I picture an invading army of doughnuts, rolling in like killer tomatoes, battle cries coming from the doughnut holes (THAT'S what they're for!), lining the streets with icing like blood (and sprinkles scattered everywhere), launching a starchy attack.

Except when they hit, they'd have as much impact as tribbles. Shit, this is a LOUSY attack plan. (Plus I don't want you attacked.)

May the doughnuts be kind. (That may once again be a sentence never written before now...)

Wow.

Surprisingly, doughnuts and I do not have a contentious relationship.

Liminality is one of the most challenging and rewarding states to be able to use, as it becomes necessary, and you do that very well.

Then again, it tends to mess with everyone around me.

But i can understand wanting to do something other than that which has become perceived as "Your Thing."

And it's cool having "a thing." But yeah, sometimes I just want to know if my thing and I have a symbiotic relationship, or if I'm just a parasite.

Yaay Lee Moyer!!!!

[greygirlbeast]

He just rocks, doesn't he. We're talking about something very whimsical.

I got confused when I saw Lee Moyer's name because my wife was talking with him the other day. They worked together a long time ago and have done so again recently. But seeing his name here felt like my home life and the blog were getting confused.

It's like the time many years ago when I got 5/6 lotto numbers. I had the ticket in one hand and the newspaper with the winning numbers in the other. When I looked from the ticket to the paper, I thought, "Something's wrong because the numbers are the same."

Another Del Toro / Perlman collaboration: have you seen the 1993 film Cronos?

Yep. I think it's a favorite of Spooky's.
