Beckett and Joyce on Gorgonzola Cheese | after cheese comes nothing
https://aftercheese.wordpress.com/2008/12/01/beckett-and-joyce-on-gorgonzola-cheese
After cheese comes nothing. Dilettante indulgence on the subject of cheese. Gorgonzola for the Busty Lady? Beckett and Joyce on Gorgonzola Cheese. December 1, 2008. Now, at last, for a literary interlude, I must offer two passages from Irish modernist prose, both of which feature Gorgonzola as their creamy centers. More Pricks Than Kicks. He rubbed it. It was sweating. That was something. He stopped and smelt it. A faint fragrance of corruption. What good was that? He didn’t want fragrance, he wasn...

Hardcore Banal: November 2009
http://hardcorebanal.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Penthouse View of Insanity. Counter to stereotypes, I have not experienced that many rainstorms in Seattle. The city seems more prone to a constant grayness from October to May than to any outright fits of ill-weather. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Love Among the Lampreys.

Hardcore Banal: Brother, can you spare a dime?
http://hardcorebanal.blogspot.com/2011/02/brother-can-you-spare-dime.html
Saturday, February 26, 2011. Brother, can you spare a dime? I live around the corner and I've locked my keys in my house. I called a locksmith, but he says he needs $15 to open my door and my wallet is inside and he won't start working on the door until he's paid. I'm a sailor on a carrier docked in Bremerton and I lost my ferry pass. If I don't get $8.25, the ship is going to sail without me and I'll be kicked out of the navy. Do you know anything about cars? And when I say homeless, I mean people livin...

Hardcore Banal: And I shall love him and pet him and call him George
http://hardcorebanal.blogspot.com/2010/10/and-i-shall-love-him-and-pet-him-and.html
Wednesday, October 27, 2010. And I shall love him and pet him and call him George. So, my roommate and I adopted a kitten. Which pretty much means that I'm required to frequently mention to anyone that I have now adopted an adorable kitten. And since dumbshitmycatdid.blospot was already taken, I thought I'd take a break from the regular programing to force anyone reading to listen to me talk about Neko. So, what's it like to have added a small mammal to the apartment? Why, I'm glad you asked!

Hardcore Banal: May 2008
http://hardcorebanal.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 12, 2008. Hot, Hot Stimulus or Fiscal Inanity. I haven't received my check yet, but as soon as I do, you can bet certain segments of the American economy are going to get a big boost. Namely, the anchovy pizza industry and beer brewers in the Northwest. Just for fun, I've included charts of federal spending and my proposed stimulus spending. Wednesday, May 7, 2008. Cyclone: Mission of Burma('s Destruction). News that a cyclone had killed. 1887 Yellow River Flood (China) - 0.9-2 million. It's ...

Dazzleship Potemkin: CRITICAL INQUIRY: Beers of Transylvania: Stejar
http://dazzleship.blogspot.com/2009/01/critical-inquiry-beers-of-transylvania.html
Monday, January 19, 2009. CRITICAL INQUIRY: Beers of Transylvania: Stejar. In this series, which takes a judicious eye toward Current Events, I will be bringing attention to the many beers native to Transylvania, my temporary home. Romanian beer is too criminally inexpensive, and I too dangerously unoccupied, to overlook this Important Issue. Let us proceed. First, however, a few remarks. Forget about their depressingly low individual share of GDP. To be fair, a hypermarket like my local. Proudly markets...

Hardcore Banal: December 2008
http://hardcorebanal.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. Notes from Left Behind. When the Rapture occurs, there are a lot of traffic accidents from people ascending. Wouldn't a loving God wait until bedtime to cause the disappearance of the world's true believers? An airline pilot returns home to find his whole family has disappeared. In a rage, he throws a bible at a mirror. After the mirror shatters, he picks up the bible and realizes it holds the key to recent events. The movie ends with an awesome religious synth rock song. First...

Hardcore Banal: August 2008
http://hardcorebanal.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 20, 2008. Perspective on Michael Phelps. My problem is that swimming, as something I'm bad at, just doesn't impress me. Let's look at Phelp's record breaking time in the 200m freestyle: 1:42:96. Now, I'm sure I couldn't swim 200m in anything under an hour and a half, but on land, I could beat that hopping on one leg. It's just hard for me to put swimming achivements in perspective. Usain Bolt's chicken nugget. Bonus: Other Olympic Thoughts. I wonder how London will top. The Beijing game...
