count me in for the cowbee reading group. It will be beneficial to (re)read those texts for the purposes of solidifying and cross referencing. (yarn wall meme)

Are we doing critical analysis discussion as well? I ask because ~6 months for the whole course seems like a pretty brisk pace.

    Interesting ethereal track. Reminiscent of zoviet france or mouse on mars. That's not a diss, the opposite.

    Question: why the 666 price tag and giving codes, instead of releasing it for a pay what you want?

    What remains of the dying population of Cambodia? One large photograph of an American actress holding an Asian child in her arms. What remains of Tomas? An inscription reading: "He wanted the Kingdom of God on Earth." What remains of Beethoven? A frown, an improbable mane, and a somber voice intoning "Es muss sein!" What remains of Franz? An inscription reading: "A return after long wanderings." And so on and so forth. Before we are forgotten, we will be turned into kitsch. Kitsch is the stopover between being and oblivion.

     -Milan Kundera

    Preface: I live in a rural area. Indoor outdoor cats. They will sleep in the bed sometimes. They also bring in snakes, sometimes. I have found snakes in the bed. And in my shoes.

    But for the real mischief story, they also brought in a baby bunny. It was already dead, and not in the bed, thank goodness. They left it on the carpet in the bedroom. Problem is rabbits out here have fleas. Young ones are no exception. I spent 2 months getting rid of those stupid fleas. Powders, pet treatment, diatomaceous earth, the whole thing. Now I try to be a little more vigilant watching what they bring in the cat door.
