Ax me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
Who was the last writer you once loved but suddenly realized you no longer wanted to read?Isaac Asimov - I reread the Caves of Steel in April when I was in California, and wished I hadn't.
Any particularly exciting recent culinary discoveries regarding fish (i.e. species or preparation, not name of restaurant)?
Hrm. I guess I was recently persuaded that anago (Japanese Conger eel) can be pretty tasty. But most of my culinary discoveries lately have been in the vegan realm. I'm really happy about watercress, arugula, chives, corn kernels, real mesclun salads, and "salad dressing" made from just olive oil plus freshly ground salt and pepper.
Why are the closets of the art wing filled with unseen paintings, muddy-colored, eight feet high?
I suppose it's the visual equivalent of piping to the spirit ditties of no tone.
Did you know that some cats live for over 200 years?
They do not!
Did you hear about the Carthusian monk who went to bed in his bunk?
Yes, he fell out of bed
and then woefully said
"O my author - this limerick stunk."
Who is Herbert M. Abercrombie-Smythe jr.?
Herbert M. Abercrombie-Smythe jr. - that's my name too.
what yoga studio plays sigur ros?
Mine does!
do "annoying people" really exist as a class, or are there rather two kinds of people who are mutually annoyed by one another?
This is a false dichotomy... Let me give you an example. Let's say person X finds person Y annoying, person Y finds person Z annoying, and everyone else on the planet wants to be friends with person Z but cannot stand person X. Except that three months later, person Z and person X both happen to go on, say, 10mg Lexapro, which cause 50% of person Z's admirers to conclude that Z is now shallow and irritatingly hyper, and 48% of the people who used to find X crippled by neurosis now discover that he has become a perfectly pleasant fellow. And then X and Z fall in love and Y runs off to join the Foreign Legion or something.
