Michio Kaku spiraled in and out
yesterday and today – first as a co-passenger in Miniverse (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6776808/
) and now as one of the luminaries who uses Hitchhiker’s Guide terminology in
his works. Am I wrong in saying his name sounds female? Perhaps I am getting
zapped between him and Ms. Kate Micucci.

Hayao Miyazaki has worked with
Toei Studios, who created Interstella 5555, Daft Punk’s Discovery album’s
animation.
Maybe it’s time I got back on
the Japanese culture trail, beginning with Haruki Murakami. The factual Harari
does not appeal to me – I shall resume Pynchon as well. Joyce’s Ulysses is open
in a tab, as almost always.

A spiral for Thursday, courtesy
Joyce
“Want pure fresh water. Thursday
: not a good day either for a
mutton kidney at Buckley’s.
Fried with butter, a shake of pepper. Better a
pork kidney at Dlugacz’s. While
the kettle is boiling.”
Never read (but may have heard)
an alphabet recital like this
“Ahbeesee defeegee kelomen

you. Boys are they? Yes.
Inishturk. Inishark. Inishboffin. At their joggerfry.
Mine. Slieve Bloom.”

Three Men In A Boat (To Say
Nothing Of The Dog) is referenced in Robert A. Heinlein’s Have Space Suit – Will Travel.
Apropos the Thames meander,
rowing is both hands on one oar while sculling is one hand on each of a pair of
oars.
La boheme > abbesses in the video
> Paris Metro’s deepest station > edicule (dragonfly entrance)
In Breaking Bad, when Walt does
donuts in and sets fire to his new car, Boots of Chinese Plastic plays.
