ME READING STUFF

"Besides all those whaling details, Moby Dick is about someone who's looking for something so huge, something they've wanted all their life, yet they know when they find it, it will kill them." ~Laurie Anderson

"Do you clean yourself well?" ~Me

The trailer for Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress, and the Tangerine.

Today's anonymous poem was found in my library book about Medieval Art and was dated Feb 7, 1958! How exciting is that?!?

I also answer some listener questions & ask you some of my own in everyone's favorite segment - Question Corner.

I wish you well, I hope you can gain acceptance of disappointment, and we shall find peace.
With love, Robby

Today, I explain how I use my fists to understand the days in a month. I regret (again) not learning Greek or its myths. We read Fuyue Anzai, Walt Whitman and Allen Ginsberg. We celebrate taking walks, aggressively. And something about Doritos.

"I am one who does not think that the Earth was made for us. I think that we are first to last strangers on it, and that it takes us a good first half of our lives just to get used to gravity. That it's not easy." -Michael Silverblatt

"I think mostly about clothes, sex, food, and seasonal variations. I have done so much to be ordinary and made a record of this: first I was born, next I was a child, then I learned things and did things and loved and had those who loved me and often felt alone. My body was sometimes well, then sometimes unwell. I got nearer to death, as did you." -Anne Boyer, Garments Against Women

"I think mostly about my health, food, the past, and sweatpants. Although I complain often and suffer from depression, my general demeanor is actually quite positive. I wish I liked hot tea and stillness more than I do." -Me
