Merry Christmas From The Family

Much like the previous post about White Trash, what’s Christmas without the song which actually is supposed to be the epitome of that? A tune about dysfunctional families, and what many would say is a typical Christmas day spent carving turkey, watching ballgames, mixing up

Sleep

Early to bed, early to rise, that’s how I operate best. If I lose any sleep, even a couple hours, I can feel it. I spend the day yawning, out of sorts, and though I might get everything done I’d planned on, my typical energy

A BRIEF REVIEW OF SUTTREE by Cormac McCarthy

I am not quite sure what to make of this book. No doubt, in between the layers of a confusing narrative, there are bits and pieces of brilliant writing. I suppose if you have the energy to keep a thesaurus or dictionary by your side

Change Of Scenery

Heaven help me, but I seem to have developed a very ridiculously annoying eye twitch. It’s the lower lid of my right eye and every time it starts up I feel as if the entire world can see it. I’m whining about it because it’s
