I'll show you, sugar, how to juggle them dice
I have spent this afternoon proofreading an academic book on memory, ritual space, and constructions of history and time, and listening to PJ Harvey. I had triangular salmon onigiri for lunch and a profitable meeting this morning. My poem "Heliotrope" has been accepted by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ericmarin for the June issue of Lone Star Stories. fleurdelis28 and I are contemplating starting an online petition for the Leverett A. Saltonstall Bridge, because that is too good a name to waste, and it turns out that Unitarianism in its earliest form is a sixteenth-century heresy genetically related to Arianism. Today has actually not sucked.

My mother just arrived home with pomegranate chip ice cream. Add to the list of flavors I didn't know anyone made . . .

Why, Ms. Taaffe, good golly . . .

That sounds excellent. Where'd she get it? What brand is it? I keep looking for Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream, too. The gods want me to buy ice cream, these days.

Häagen-Dazs, and I think she got it from Stop & Shop. I'm not sure I'd pair it with wine, but it is delicious.

I have not yet been able to find any Americone Dream. I think it's getting bought up by die-harder Stephen Colbert fans than I.

Yowza. You and your allusive euphemisms for your day's schedule are driving me wild, darling. Thanks for the mp3. You just keep being right about young P.J. Harvey.
Let me know if you need your beard nailed to the bathroom door.

Maybe. I've actually checked six different grocery stores in different parts of the city and haven't seen it or even the Willie Nelson flavour. I kept thinking maybe the west coast was getting the flavours late, but now you tell me this . . . When I worked at Rite Aid, I used to stock the ice cream (long hours in a freezer wearing my bomber jacket in the middle of summer) and I do seem to remember not opening a box for weeks after it arrived. On the other hand, I've seen comments on a few message boards from people who've seen the ice cream, so I don't know.
It's gotten so I've been spotting other disconsolate young people standing in front of the Ben & Jerry's section. Who'd have thought a guy could excite so much demand by mocking over-merchandising himself?

You're welcome. So far, I haven't heard anything from her early work I haven't loved. I'm just hoping she still has songs like that to write. That's not quite the right phrasing; not more songs in her earlier style, but of that caliber. Or maybe it's just me. I have spoken with people who think Uh Huh Her is her best album in years.

I honestly thought it was a joke the first time I heard the name. But Ben & Jerry's confirms its existence; now if only my local groceries would . . .
(The flavor graveyard, by the way, is hilarious. Honey Apple Raisin Chocolate Cookie? Lemon Peppermint Carob Chip? By the waters of Babylon, I will mourn the loss of Rainforest Crunch and S.N.A.F.U., but some of these we can be thankful are underground.)
no subject
I've never had those. S.N.A.F.U. sounds good--I love strawberries, and the fact that they're so scarce in Oblivion has oddly enough inspired a hunger in me for them. I would've liked to've tried Blueberry Ice Cream. And I can see myself becoming addicted to From Russia With Buzz.

What parts of the world is boysenberry ice cream wanted in?

Mind you, as far as interesting icecream flavours go, there is quite a range to choose from here. Ah, dairy capital of the planet...

I read Angela Carter's Honeybuzzard on the bus into Porter Square and got lightly rained on as I walked back. It was definitely an improvement.

Sounds cool. It would be cooler if you were getting paid for it, of course...
...starting an online petition for the Leverett A. Saltonstall Bridge, because that is too good a name to waste
Indeed it is! But where IS the said bridge?
I, meantime, have gotten drafted to save Willoughby's and Walker Loden...

Yeah--it was big in Transsylvania. (Seriously!)
pomegranate chip ice cream.
It does sound tasty, but hard to imagine. I think I'd pair it with a sumac sake, or perhaps some sort of eau-de-vie.
no subject
I am: it's a publication by the Center for Hellenic Studies, with whom I now have a job. I keep meaning to post about this.
Indeed it is! But where IS the said bridge?
It doesn't yet exist. But since the Mystic River Bridge was renamed after Saltonstall's successor in 1967, I see no reason we couldn't find another bridge for the man himself.

(I know! Which is awesome. And makes me wonder if Agatha is going to run into random Unitarians.)
I think I'd pair it with a sumac sake
I think that's a much better combination, actually, than their suggested Zinfandel.

And pomegranate chip ice cream sounds fascinating. Will have to keep an eye out for it.

I see I've missed quite a bit. Going to have to add her to my list of old friends (musically speakin) that need catching up.

I have to warn you that while I love Is This Desire? (1998), I am much more ambivalent about Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea (2000; although the B-sides are awesome), and there is approximately one song on Uh Huh Her (2004; and, again, a couple of B-sides) that I really like. But your tastes may differ from mine; I know friends who disagree.
