Library Art



We have another art installation at the library. It's going to take me another day to finish taking and uploading photos, but here's a preview of PAPERREWIND.

Randomness

Random Item #1: I was hungry this morning and feeling too lazy to get a bowl of Cheerios (yes, please don't comment on that part), and in casting about my desk drawer looking for some nuts (didn't have any), I came across a box of Barnum's Animals Crackers I had completely forgotten. Isn't that exciting?

Random Item #2: You know how people talk about muscle memory? Well, there's also such a thing as audio memory. Example: In college, I had a homemade cassette copy of Simon & Garfunkel's Collected Works*. The first side cut off in the middle of the last chord of "Richard Cory." Yes, a bit disturbing until you got used to it. But now, nearly 20 years later, every time I listen to that song on my mp3 player (which is quite often, because I'm a real creature of habit), I expect the song to end the same way. That's audio memory.



*A1 - For years I've felt a bit guilty because we split the cost of that CD set, but I ended up with the CD's and you ended up with cassette copies, which I'm sure you don't have use for any more. Are we ok, or do I need to make it up to you somehow? BTW, I love Old Friends, which is what I listen to all the time now. Thanks. Again!

Things Change

While making sure I wasn't repeating a post title, I came across Oscar's short essay. He wrote it nearly two years ago, and it makes me feel a bit sad to know how time has changed the little guy. I gather he rarely stirs himself for the doorbell these days, and perhaps not for loud thunderclaps either. I trust, however, that he's still as interested in human food as ever. Or at least, I hope so.

Random Questions

Is it possible to overdose on JELL-O salad?

If I've successfully made it through a full day on 2 hrs sleep before, will I be able to do it again?

Free at Last!

Drug Free, that is. Well, ok, not drug free per se (that would be a bit radical, wouldn't it?).

Painkiller Free. For the first time in weeks.

Shh - don't tell my teeth. I'm hoping they don't notice.
