I read about the cat bed that brought Rich’s cats Winston and Rudy such happiness and immediately, predictably, bought one.  (Actually two; the second was Val’s catwarming gift!)  But before the bed came I was skeptical; Raf has never liked a cat bed before, preferring instead to plop down wherever his presence would be most inconvenient.  Also he has always been immune to the effects...

Kenntnissvonstolzundschande
oughtabeagermanwordforthat: Kenntnissvonstolzundschande: The pride felt in arcane knowledge one is also deeply ashamed of having.  Especially in reluctant fanboys/girls.  First identified when the lovely Emily Gould (thingsiathatilove.tumblr.com) and I realized we both knew that Justin Theroux had played both Jared, the full-of-himself young novelist, and Vaughn Wysel, the premature...

I got this book on word origins (“Word Origins”) at Housingworks.  It was originally published in 1950 so it’s full of charming anachronisms.  Like any book about etymology or semiotics it makes you temporarily hyper-aware of your word choices and their various resonances.  “Charming” for example would have been a dangerous insult in 14th-century England, when it...

Like a black cup of coffee
I got back into town last night so it wasn’t til this morning that I noticed there was no coffee in the apartment.  I put on some clothes and went out to get some.  On my way home from the store I found myself walking behind a man who was walking his dog, a big greyhound mix.  The dog was sniffing a tree, arching his back, clearly getting ready to take a poop, but the dude wasn’t...

cookingthebooksshow: Julie “Sweet Jewish Noodles” Klausner came to the Cooking the Books studio to discuss her book I Don’t Care About Your Band and make kugel. We ended up mostly speaking Yiddish so I hope you don’t have problems understanding us. This was the first time we’d had a guest who is already a star of the funniest videos on the Internet (cf: Mommy Time, Racist Annie, Welcome To Our...
