And Gutenberg Lived Here: Of Corona, Linguistical Nonsense, And A Musician’s Shaggy Dog Story.
As I wrote in my last blog entry, we here in Gutenberg land, Or at least the "we" who are apparently, more than temporarily locked in here, in our magical hopefully corona-repellent apartment, unless the Gutenberg scientists, who are the ones here in Germany working on the shots, the ones that will finally bring our … Continue reading And Gutenberg Lived Here: Of Corona, Linguistical Nonsense, And A Musician’s Shaggy Dog Story.
Books On The Half-Shell: A Quahog Chases Culture
For some time now, I’ve been considering starting a new blog. My first blog, Quahog, was, for me at least, satisfying to write, and apparently relatively well liked. Then came the stalking. What decided me to start up again, after over two years of terror, was the following: 1. I am a positive thinker. And … Continue reading Books On The Half-Shell: A Quahog Chases Culture
Quahog On A Tightrope: Here’s To The Crimewriters

They have some great tenors there.) or who digs up gardens, to bury … Continue reading Quahog On A Tightrope: Here’s To The Crimewriters
And Gutenberg Lived Here: “Old Wives’ Thursday,” or Where Is Gloria Steinem When You Need Her?
Today is Old Wives Carnival here. The day a lot of women wait all year for. It starts with a group of women, in costume, usually female devils in very very short skirts, putting up a ladder and "storming" the town hall.

And Gutenberg Lived Here: The Sociological Importance Of The Introduction Of Parsnip Fries On The German Culture
Today was one of those days. Long ride downtown, then the usual parking problems, appointments everywhere, and... suddenly... the glorious thrill of pure magical sunshine on the Rhine, the chance to watch kids play on the grass between the main government buildings, dogs frolicking, a group of Swiss tourists who put up a small day … Continue reading And Gutenberg Lived Here: The Sociological Importance Of The Introduction Of Parsnip Fries On The German Culture
And Gutenberg Lived Here: The Night Of The Great Cosmic Vampire Squid
Last night my husband and I watched a science fiction show- what else do you watch when you studied literature, and he is a scientist? And suddenly, while thinking that what I really needed, in this retro-scientific noir atmosphere- that was bigger on the inside than the outside- and that was the show- was a … Continue reading And Gutenberg Lived Here: The Night Of The Great Cosmic Vampire Squid
