Three Beautiful Things 02/20/07: Gums, Goldberg, Taryn Enjoyed Neko

1. My teeth/gums should be a Superfund site, just like Kellogg. It would be the country's smallest Superfund site. I get my teeth cleaned every three months. I enjoy it. Yes. I like how good my mouth feels and I enjoy the sensation of the electric sonar/sonic/laser/whatever it is tool the hygenist uses to clean my teeth.

2. My WR 122 students write a paper exploring the impact of Glenn Gould playing Bach's Goldberg Variations. They read the essay aloud in class. Jack didn't like the impact. He hates Bach. He wrote a series of wonderful similes describing the pain listening to this music put him through. (I think the other students wondered if I was going to come unglued or something. They've never seen me come unglued. I laughed and enjoyed Jack's essay. My enjoyment relaxed the students.)

3. Mommie Dearest/BrodH20 commented that she saw Neko Case live and thought she was beautiful. It's wonderful to find others in the world who enjoy Neko Case. Is there a more lucid, clear voice singing better songs anywhere in the world of recorded music?

Three Beautiful Things 02/19/07: HBO Blogroll, Neko Case, Snug Smashes Bread

1. My sisters' blogs are now listed on HBO's blogroll. I hope this will help a lot of readers find their writing and pictures. If you haven't visited their blogs, Silver Valley Girl's blog is here and InlandEmpireGirl's blog is here.

2. When I went grocery shopping, I drove the Subaru and could listen to Neko Case's latest cd,
Fox Confessor Brings the Flood.

3. I went to Great Harvest and bought a nice loaf of bread and put it on the passenger seat. Snug came from the back seat to the passenger seat and sat on the bread, smashing half the loaf. Once home, I fixed a ham and swiss sandwich with the smashed bread. It tasted great. No harm done!
