Bobbing Flotsam
1. In The Believer's interview of Michael Silverblatt, he lauds Susan Sontag as an improbable agony aunt.
2. Add to list of great band names: Buddy Sarkissian and His Mecca Four.
3. In a nearby park, the outfields of kitty-corner baseball fields are respectively marked with an arc of orange and of blue plastic-mesh fencing. From one vantage point, you can see an interstitial area which glows cobalt. Alien skittles?
4. How did Sarah Jessica Parker managed to escape undefiled from the cynical and tawdry Sex and the City (series and movie progeny)? During her DVD commentary on The Family Stone (don't ask), she utters a a natural and heartfelt "heavens to Betsy."
HERR KEPLER'S NOTEBOOK
Time is the bully anchor of the opposing tug-rope team.
The person with a happy home life tracks glitter through the world; the solitary person leaves snowprints.
-------------------------------------
"The grasshopper warbler's song comes up out of the earth just as you think the day is quietening down. It has no prelude or warm-up: it starts midperformance, as if switched on by the dark, as it if has been singing like this beneath the earth until it was dark enough to come to the surface. As if, though we hardly hear it, this singing never stops."
