Serve on top of salad on back porch as summer sun sets. Blast Motorhead. – 02:27 AM GMT
I suppose it says something unflattering about me that I feel late to the news of a Shteyngart Google Glass joint in this week’s New Yorker. – 02:48 AM GMT
I totally skipped the yawny Woody Allen Shouts & Murmurs without even knowing what was next. Currently chortling, rubbing hands, tweeting. – 02:49 AM GMT

@christy_ms meat salad was SOOPER DEELISH – 04:56 AM GMT
@praguepainter Light in Water can be seen as a companion volume to Dhalgren, FWIW. I skipped Hogg but have most everything else. – 03:05 PM GMT
@praguepainter ha, never knew of that film. Nail biting is in Dhalgren too. – 03:06 PM GMT
@praguepainter … and so is the orchid, for that matter – as an invented weapon, a kind of cage of blades around the hand – 03:07 PM GMT
RT: @praguepainter: @mwhybark and there’s Delany’s own amateur film The Orchid from 1971, he’s got a thing for nail-biters youtu.be/Ub4lqJXApRE – 03:27 PM GMT
Prior RT includes 1 of 4 segments to early, arty film by Samuel R. Delany which unmistakably prefigures “Dhalgren,” called “The Orchid.” – 03:29 PM GMT
The actual image of Dhalgren’s orchid appears early in the first section, as a man holds a fistful of dime-store scribing compasses. – 03:30 PM GMT

@paolobacigalupi the Rakuten Golden Eagles of Sendai are at #1 in NBP PL with a four game lead, likely to go to Japan Series. – 02:06 AM GMT
Good dog – 04:43 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone there is one! the disembodied spirit of Jack the Ripper rides Scotty like a loa! For real, it’s a TOS episode! – 04:45 AM GMT
@frankrogan prescription indicated: bingewatch an equivalent amount of John Waters movies plus “Avalon”. – 04:47 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke like after Kirk and Spock are declared public domain, or with names like Mr. Pox and Captain Church – 04:50 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone fair enough, but obvs, JtR: ur-SK – 04:51 AM GMT
@mwhybark @LeavittAlone @sara_clarke Capt Church w/Mr. Pox lead the Enterprise on mission of discovery in the South Pacific, circa 1764 – 04:53 AM GMT
@mwhybark @LeavittAlone @sara_clarke the wind snaps in the tops’ls as the Enterprise to a Tahitian heading. Bosun Bruce comes topside. – 04:55 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke “Captain Chairch,” he cries, “The Hawaiian ambassador’s daughter’s been mairdered!” Mr. Pox locks eyes w/ Church. – 04:57 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke Dr. Feeney looks up from the girl’s body in the captain’s quarters, his hands bloody, tunic loose at the neck. – 04:59 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone or in my version, the Hawaiian Ambassador, but possessed by haole fever! – 05:01 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke it’s Father Inire and we get a crossover to Gene Wolfe as well. He’s been en masque for a century. – 05:04 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone it’s how he survives – 05:04 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone once he was known as Leonardo – 05:05 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke Since magister Moore is scripting, they have to travel to planets in a pattern that creates a pentagram – 05:07 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke i’m sold, this is a thing that should be done but maybe not under paramount license – 05:08 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone god, do it! the characters are archetypes by now, just write a good story & later figure out if you keep names – 05:10 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone ah, it’s a multivalent jam, no bigs. hyperthreads! – 05:11 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone so here the cold return bit is useful. SVU in space ish. – 05:12 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke hmm, what beloved TOS episode could you be referring to – 05:15 AM GMT
@LeavittAlone @sara_clarke could it be “Journey to Babel”? Why yes! – 05:15 AM GMT
@sara_clarke @LeavittAlone @phoebenorth she’ll do fine. Think of it as a Dhalgren riff. – 05:21 AM GMT
@mwhybark @sara_clarke @LeavittAlone @phoebenorth you guys know this project? vakarangi.blogspot.com // Art noted it to me. Fun to follow. – 05:24 AM GMT
Charlie sez: Case Nightmare Green remains ONNN antipope.org/charlie/blog-s… – 06:05 AM GMT
on iOS Well then! Campapalooza gear breakdown and rebuild is nearly done. New tent, some fiddly bits, cleaned a bunch of stuff. Packing next. – 06:19 AM GMT
As I started to run out to source the fiddly bits three neighborhood kids knocked on the door offering yardwork. I mowed last week. – 06:20 AM GMT
Just as I started to say no, I thought better of it and made up a bunch of stuff for them to do that took an hour or so. I washed dishes. – 06:21 AM GMT
Occasionally I came out to supervise or inhibit slapfights. In the end they did some light yard work and I paid them for it. – 06:23 AM GMT
They were sad to miss the dog, and Viv was bummed to miss them. Supposedly they’ll be back in two weeks. – 06:24 AM GMT
Fred Pohl on his editorial decision at Bantam to publish Dhalgren thewaythefutureblogs.com/2011/01/chip-d… – 07:25 AM GMT
on iOS @praguepainter naw, it’s a structured meditation on US urban culture at mid-20th c which uses complex literary techniques & an SF setting – 04:24 PM GMT
@praguepainter although Delany sets Bellona in the South, Bellona is unmistakably Manhattan, where he grew up. – 04:25 PM GMT
@praguepainter image of the depopulated city is a way of casting the protagonist’s social network within the metropolis into sharp relief – 04:28 PM GMT
@praguepainter that said, the setting, the ruined, abandoned, firelit city of night, is lovingly imagined. – 04:29 PM GMT
@ericweddle fantastic! I’ve had all these scattered on various tapes for years, it will be great to hear it clean and well-sourced. – 04:34 PM GMT
@praguepainter yes, exactly. Delany’s writing out of the sixties and into the seventies but it reflects and anticipates the LES scene – 09:06 PM GMT
@praguepainter the films that actually seems to have some Dhalgren DNA or sensibility are The Warriors and The Wiz. – 09:18 PM GMT

Herzog v/o promoting “The Act of Killing” as producer. Obviously I was going, but now it’s not just because I hate death-squad imperialism. – 12:34 AM GMT
Yes, that was a joke about genocide that included no untrue statements. – 12:39 AM GMT
What a luxury to have three weeks going thru camping gear to test and tighten up. I have a week to work on menus now. – 01:57 AM GMT
on the downside, this weather sends me chasing Adirondack recliners for weeks – 01:59 AM GMT
@brownpau found it! americanindian.si.edu/searchcollecti… – 07:15 PM GMT
@brownpau Emmons, who collected it, is an interesting character: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_T.… // one of abt three lg collectors in PNW ca 1900-10 – 08:12 PM GMT

@ChMadar @edinblack not even that – they just offshore the torture, so the promise has no value. – 12:29 AM GMT
6 new tweets in the time it took me to read 24h of tweets. Twitter, you are slipping. – 12:41 AM GMT
@GlennF in the Vonnegut sense? – 03:52 AM GMT
