another list, because well, i have fucking whooping cough and i can’t really write when i am coughing so hard that i’m gasping for breath. between gasps, i’ve been listening to NPR, all damn day. all day. and here’s what i’ve learned:
1. that if you have like 76 porche and suddenly notice a weird oily film on the inside of your windows that you probably need a new heater core.
2. picasso totally ripped off t.s eliot’s “good poets borrow, great poets steal” line.
3. there was almost a puppy channel on cable tv.
4. jonathan goldstein wrote a really quite funny story about genesis (not the band, but the god creating one).
5. you know i wish i could remmeber why there is no five.
6. the former state attorney general of new jersey was named kerry (though he spelled it cary, like grant) edwards.
7. nicholson baker, the novelist, bought five flat-bed trucks full of old american newspapers from some library in england.
8. patricia hempel writes funny stuff about the mississippi river.
9. speaking of faith is on entirely too often in the weekend.
