A Steaming Bowl of Literary Big Timer Passes Away

“John Updike, the kaleidoscopically gifted writer whose quartet of Rabbit novels highlighted a body of fiction, verse, essays and criticism so vast, protean and lyrical as to place him in the first rank of American authors, died on Tuesday in Danvers, Mass. He was 76 and lived in Beverly Farms, Mass. ” (from John Updike, a Lyrical Writer of the Middle-Class Man, Dies at 76  by Christopher Lehmann-Haupt for the NY Times)

Here is a link to the whole story in the New York Times:

He wasn’t my favorite but he was quite possibly the biggest literary figure alive. It is sad that he is gone. R.I.P.

A Steaming Bowl of Shit Blizzard

My wife and I were out on our front porch and it was snowing heavily and I said, “Look at this shit.”

And she said, “God, that would suck if was shit.”

I laughed. Then I thought about it. Soft brown flakes falling silently, slightly aslant in the breeze  … and piling up everywhere. On your coat. In your hair.

Deeper question: Whose poop is it?

“Well, son, when angels shit into a fan it snows.”

Think about it. This is stupid, I know, but think about.

Made us laugh.

A Steaming Bowl of Campbell Soup

Just getting the expected Campbel Soup reference out of the way. And I wanted to get rid of the “Hello World!” post they give you when you get started.

So, I quit blogger to come over to wordpress and left behind “A Some of Knowledge” – everybody who reads this will know what up, there are 7 of you.

Anyway, second crack and pseudo-jorno blogdom. And it is going to be fucking spectacular.

I will begin leaving real posts (too real, man!) soon, but I wanted to break the ice.

I will always remember my first time – thanks, blogger, you were gentle.

PS – this could also very likely be the last time my post titles aren’t inappropriate (fingers crossed).

Boom.
