I plan

to discover some of the uses of Fish Sauce. I've now run across two recipes for salad dressings calling for:

fish sauce
lemon/lime juice
vinegar
soy sauce/salt
garlic

In

a book by Henry Miller (Plexus?) was written, "Cultivate your own nonsense."

I'm trying.

Regard each

eye separately, now consider each as something that might be unscrewed from the head. Not just the eye itself but the area around, roughly the size of the largest circle that could be drawn on the front pad of your hand. You would never know this region could be unscrewed; it would not hurt or disturb.

I have a sci fi novel called "Candy Man". Author's name is something King I think. The main character is a robot. If I recall, he is told that he will be rebuilt as a human. They could rebuild him as a robot (again) but it would cost too much. That has stuck with me for about 20 years now.

there are two sorts of light: solar and lunar. Solar light is emitted by the sun, and also by most lamps and lightbulbs, though in a weaker form. Solar light helps plants grow. Lunar light is emitted by the moon, ghostly lamps, and a few other things. Lunar light is connected to the fungal world.

This theory, though false, has phenomenological validity. It must have been proposed at some point with seriousness. Must have.

More later, about the real difference between solar and lunar shadows, and the reason I like the blue flames of gas stoves.

Editor Disease

Seeing wasted words everywhere; finding ways to shorten papers authored by strangers and published years ago; deleting entire sentences from conversations as one utters or hears them.

An excess of brevity.
