Interests Du Jour

1. William Burroughs' time in South Texas-There is  a great book about it I hope to read soon!

2. Depression Era Recipes: Never really explored this genre. It can be really healthy but redundant.  I love to read cookbooks. A few Depression era recipes sound like they can set you up for discomfort.  Imagine butterless, milkless, eggless cake, intriguing.

3. ZOOM: Muby frubiends uband ubi ubare wubay ubinto rubedubiscubovuberubing Zuboom thubese dubays. Ubi hubave uba bubettuber ubapprubecubiubatubion (okay that's enough. I know it's not even done right) for this show. Wish they'd put it on DVD, complete shows that ran from 1972-1979 with commentary from all the cast members (as many as they can find, please include Joe Shrand, Jon Reuning, Nina Thomassen, Tommy White, Kenny Marshal, Nancy Tates, Tracy Schulman, Ann Davis, David Alberico(of In the Soup fame), Jay Schertzer, Maura Mullaney, Bernadette Yao, Leon Mobley, Luiz Peterton). Kids were different back then, not sure if you can get a 9 or 13 year old to dance barefooted a la Bob Fosse for PBS these days.


4. Two of the Silkies are roos so...it's time to begin the distancing process. Roosters are not allowed in the city so Dash and Chickiebaby will be going to Del Rio to live their cocky lives with my Grandfather's chickens. Won't be easy but I know they'll be in good hands. They've been roos in training since week two when they started to run towards each other and bump chests. I thought it was some sort of chicken square dancing game. The chicks would be in a circle then the two roos would run and thump chests and the other chicks would just jump around and leapfrog each other. Crazy to watch.
