an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I was going to sympathize with childhood home loss, but then I realized that my childhood home, which my parents sold two years ago, was in fact part of a development built on what used to be someone's family farm.

So, uh, maybe I'm not the right person for this.

Art Crawl!!!

The Riches started out rollicking and then took quite a turn. Eddie Izzard is supposed to be answering fan questions in the fan podcast at the FX website.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

All Tommorow's Parties is a great book. I should reread it. I should reread all my Gibson. It's been a while since I did that.

I must be, like, a subtaster. I like really acidic and bitter things. Also salty, but I think that's just the Japanese thing.

Salt and vinegar: mmmmm.

I love salty. I do not love bitter, but most vegetables don't taste bitter to me, except for things like bitter greens, which I do not like one bit. Grapefruit is also blech. Blech, blech, blech. And, of course, blech to cilantro, which tastes like soap.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, totally. Mmm, salt & vinegar. Mmm, grapefruit! That reminds me, I have grapefruit juice in the fridge right now! Oh, yeah, and mmm to the whitefont.

Bitter depends a lot on the flavor. Other than that I really like most strong tastes - spicy, sour, etc. But cilantro is still the devil's taste.

ETA: We have free grapefruit juice in my office. Yay! Actually we have a fancy schmancy coffee/espresso/latte machine and a separate one with oj, grapefruit, and lemonade. It's kind of crazy - this is our "breakroom": [link]

How crazy is that? There's a reason this company is a leader in workplace strategies, I guess. It's like a little cafe. And you can see Millenium Park and Soldier Field from the windows.

Erin, Erin. My sister has a habit of racking up parking tix and other non-serious violations that just sit and sit, and I always think of you. Stop that! I'm so sorry you had to go through this, great story or not.
