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 opeecue rustyouvee double

Apropos the Thames meander, rowing is both hands on one oar while sculling is one hand on each of a pair of oars.

Quotes

I don't think of the past. The only thing that matters is the everlasting present. W. Somerset Maugham Ralph Waldo Emerson - "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

A Cascade of Conversations.

It is a convenience to not have to type a datestamp, so I waste a line on it. The conversation I had with Mr. Malik was hurried; if its depth were to be mapped by sonar, it would be very irregular. The air time was pretty evenly divided, I think, although I know my egotistical thought process gives me way more credit than I'm due for. Still, no, wait, not still, I also committed a grave error of leaving out a person from my life history, despite saying in the same conversation, at a different point of time, words to the effect that a nurtured grievance tends to intensify negatively over time. I hope I have not slipped up too badly. Mahak pressed the red button when I called right now. With Mum, I knew in my heart she knew I was going to be serious about Mahak.
