December  2 Madonna and Sean Penn got married a day after I was born! LOLZZZ I am married now! :) Also, was the guy who shouted “You’re breathtaking” at  Keanu Reeves  a  Seinfeld  fan? This was around the time Keanu gave people a ride near  Bakersfield . Cue  Space to Bakersfield , please, as I had done last night, to lull me into a good Sunday night’s sleep. 12 Xkcd has got  the inevitability of death in an unpredictable amount of time down  pat 24 Finished with this ennui-filled idiotic place. Adios, 2019!  On to new things! 2020, here I come!

TIL thanks to KBC! 5 A Life Afloat is epistemological, but not too much in its current state. Perhaps more so in the second volume that I’m beginning to work on de novo (TBBT). 7 Steve Martin  sang  Maxwell’s Silver Hammer  in  Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band  (the movie). Phil Hartman , RIP, was in Three Amigos. 23 Andre  Braugher  was in City of Angels

Spirals… 23 Richard Vernon did voice work for the Radio Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. 26 One more week to go… 31 And done!

July 4 Independence Day: the Movie The swine returns from the land of the freebies and the home of the depraved Ulysses contd.: “You’re looking extra.” – how much social media speak occurs in Joyce? Did it seep through pop culture and permeate the internet? Success for us is the death of intellect and of the imagination. Is “time is money” really Roman? “…aftercourse of both our lives.” “I’ in the first person is used here. Who is talking, and about whom? Bloom about himself and Stephen Dedalus? Even the act of pushing up one’s spectacles is described allegorically: “…steadied them to a new focus.” Contumely:   insolent or insulting language or treatment 10 Hold up! Shut the front door! What what what? Ghost World, the movie based on the comic book, has a Mohammad Rafi song as its first track on the OST: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Jaan_Pehechan_Ho     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Ghost_World_(film)   11 ...

June 5 Always by Steven Spielberg was Audrey Hepburn’s last role. 7 [ongoing] {Ulysses (Joyce), from a few pages in} A little Newtonian physics in Ulysses, a rumination on weight by Bloom. A voyeur he is, no doubt about that. No denigration towards Joyce – Bloom is a character he created, nothing more. Gem of a line: Hate company when [it’s] you. He (Bloom) seems to have kept a valise lent by one of his friends, Bob Cowley. His father was fond of Kate Bateman (promoted by P T Barnum, no less) when she acted at the Adelphi in London. Same line: he was born in 1966. Italian seems to be the second language in this part. People singing Mozart’s Don Giovanni. A little stream of consciousness in flowery language while reading his paramour’s letter. Coombe, a Dublin landmark, is mentioned twice – but in the same, rather unflattering, context. Buddha is compared to Jesus (Ecce Homo). Christianity’s sacraments are dwelt upon, mostly unfavorably except in the...

May 1 A hover of trout – a collective noun courtesy a Nat Geo mailer 3 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. 15 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. Exegete 16 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 ke...
