More absolutely useless information that should probably be kept to one's self – Exhibit 15,456

Back in March I started trying to open the Duracell double A battery recharger package. It’s been rough. Am I gratified that today I finally succeeded? No. I was determined that nails and teeth should do the job but having worn through them, today I broke out the scissors and eventually the circular saw.

That is the toughest packaging ever. DVD movie packagers could take notes. For that matter, nuclear waste packagers should take notes.

Oh, wait. Now I see the kryptonite hidden under the barcode. No wonder!

1958 Vintage Davis and Coltrane "So What" at Youtube

I love Youtube.

Here’s a big reason why.

See the cute little “click me” button in the video above? See the black triangle on the cute little “click me” button?

How many people do you imagine look at the triangle and see it as pointing to the lower left or upper left rather than pointing to the right?

On that particular captured still the button is more fun when viewed as pointing to the lower left.

UNENDING WONDERS OF A SUBATOMIC WORLD is an angst-ridden, slap-happy, run if you can't leave 'em laughing investigation on the questions of mad coincidence and improbable meanings that spin around the Great Wheel as it bumps along toward whatever end has captured its fancy. And while along for the ride, let's at least have some fun with it in a Ferrari and Italian sunglasses that lend operatic vistas, with a woman running from impending nuptials and an unfolding history in soft-core surrealist art porn, her working homeless friend who is grieving the loss of her 1972 Impala, a band by the name of Orange Joe playing behind a female Elvis impersonator, a golf shop owner who wants something more in life than a pyramid-scheming wife and trysts at the Oasis with his accountant, and reflections on America the Beautiful which killed off its buffalo and fenced up its First Nations peoples all so Faith Hazy and Chance Hope would be able to one day pursue pending dreams from Valentine, Georgia to Little America, fueled by novelty, convenience, and Faith's patriotic determination to be a good consumer on someone else's bankroll.

A Sometimes Notion is Better than No Thread at All is the companion blog to my website, Idyllopus Press. Here one will find art, photos, some essays on cinema, and whatever else I feel like making into a post when the mood strikes. Was once rather political around here, but that was before I fell into the time and concentration sinkhole of the current novel on which I've been laboring not long enough or else I'd be done with it.

The new novel begins with the appearance of a UFO, but isn't really about UFO's.
