today's ingedients:

i dreamed last night in hubbub, of Mardou poisoning the talent pool in San Francisco and Amanda Palmer on television, proclaiming her new album the Epic record of the year. there is an older woman two blocks east carrying a ripped picture of me in her bag and a swimming pool, but no nudity is involved. there is a red-headed girl i knew in high school and my fourth grade girlfriend, the one i didn't call all summer.

dreams populated from the spinning wheel of time.

i spoke today to one former student and one crying student. i ate a lox sandwich on matzah while reading The Joys of Yiddish. i went to work and did nothing. there was granola baking and diet soda in the cup. my sister found her asan and Jache called to tell me his woes.
i told him crazy people do crazy things. profundity abounded.

let us celebrate this bleeding absurdity of life.
