Okay. Bills, bills, bills. Overdue on everything. Have mono. Am at least working, but I’m working even to stay awake. Have not posted on the blog in any official respect since flag day. Tired of a diet of crow, because there is no nutritional value in metaphor.
Mercury Poisoning
June 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment
(The third post; I don’t know why WordPress would not accommodate these.) 12.10.2010 Mercury Poisoning 12/10/2010, 4:04 PM Hi from December 10th. I’d sworn to myself that entries would occur on a daily basis, but I was eyebrow-deep in variously futile episodes of abject tedium; when it was over, tomorrow was no longer tomorrow, while [...]
Additional Compensatory Gestures
June 13, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This is the second post, entitled Help Me Understand 12/8/2010, 1:35 PM Ev’ry time that I enter the site that a person enters in order to post another posting or to check on some other nonsense, I’m confronted with a gigantor, dull-red, full-screen warning that a “security threat” to my computer (which, for some, easily [...]
What to Do When It Happens
June 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment
It’s the morning (Happy Birthday, Jad!), although only barely just the morning in the proper sense. In fact, it is likely to be afternoon by the time that I post this. Isn’t it strange that the day begins at midnight? When I was 17 and had some luxury of choice in the matter, I decided [...]
Upward and Offward
June 8, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Thursday night finds the author of this authored item feeling very much like himself, which is appropriate given his selfhood. Everything else feels external. This is not inaccurate, but it is rather strangely pitched when the literal expands and extends into the figurative. Kind of like when you drive yourself batshit attempting to count things [...]
A Renewed Post
February 25, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This is an old post. Jan 12, 2011 8:25 PM Futility Is the New Utility by Benb Gallaher I’ve got a bizarre amount of explaining to do, although not really TO anyone. That, I suppose, is blogging’s raison d’être, but that doesn’t really mean that much yet in my life with a dead computer and [...]

Sell See Us
January 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Brunswick, Maine. Last Saturday of January. Sunny, lithely approaching 5°C. The metric system is good practice for us. It scares most Americans. I will lay it down here to be simple about it. Water freezes. Water boils. Both of these things happen at certain temperatures. Take the temperature range between freezing and boiling. Divide that [...]
All the World’s an Age
January 12, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Aging occurs. At all times. Are we left with any choice but to embrace it? Frankly, no. But does that work? As we’ve seen, in an age during which ageless stars perish at ostensible ages, most of us unwitting players in a left-behind series would scratch our wispily covered heads if only they retained any [...]
I Am Ebbing (Hear Me Ebb)
January 5, 2012 by Leave a Comment
What is it a Whensday oh gee I got my MRI results! No bad news equals good news. Good news equals jubilation! Yet, I tire. I’m sure that we’re in unrealistic proximity to the North Pole. What to do? All sorts of people have all sorts of smug gratification upon seeing our struggles, and that [...]
testing taxing trying
January 3, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Hooray? I think that this might actually work, here with Blogger’s new compatibility whateverness and such. The erstwhile lack thereof is prompting me to test. (five minutes, maybe six minutes, later) And the preliminary results appear to be satisfactory. HOORAY! Then there is the business of getting thoughts together. An entirely different kettle of fish, [...]
Love’s Labours Located
March 26, 2011 by Leave a Comment
It is freeeeeezing cold outside, with winds that are nearing gales. We’re cowering indoors, I’m bored to tears, and cussing would be so much fun if it weren’t blanketed by the selfconsciousness of parenthood. I’d take Desmond and Ivor out somewheres, or go to see a movie if our wallet hadn’t been lost yesterday. I was [...]
Posters Are for Posters

Oh, yes, well. The title of this post is intended to mirthfully obscure the fact that there’s really no purpose to writing now. Well, I do have a heap of work to do, and I just collected my old computer (with functional keys and all) from the computer store, and there has been an unseemly [...]

Naming Names
March 2, 2011 by 2 Comments
The MTV job is a fascinating thing. As I’ve said, I’m concocting a character who’s got feelings about his feelings. It is surreal and excellent. It’s also curious, as I’ve always loved writing about music.I’ve developed some stellar classifications for music, as well. Notable among these is Bearskin Rock, which pertains to that particularly grotseque [...]

I have allowed my slothful typing skills to deter my posting to this blog. Also, the fact that my computer is captive to a nearby computer-repair store. But, it is no longer a single shit that I give about any of that. How does a person curry favor with the cosmos? I’m speaking in [...]
Alright Already

excuses reasons excuse this reasoned excuse Sorry about that hiatus. I didn’t mean to do that. Okay, well—we live in a town called Brunswick, Maine. Everybody must know this by now. We’ve been in Maine for 5.3 lonely years, and we’d like to change all of that soon. As we shovel from yesterday’s wintry deposit, [...]

2/1/2011, 12:26 AM THE PRETEXT: Does anybody have any old blog posts from “good ideas on paper”? I deleted a ton of them by mistake. You could ask why or how this happened, but you’d get the same unsatisfying answer that I’ve already gotten. I refer you now to “Comments.” Love, Benb xoinfinity

1/7/2011, 7:59 AMFriday morning. Epiphanies are so yesterday.Were I at the helm of a class, I would use my fescue apparatus on a wall-mounted calendar to signify that “Here [THWACK!] is where we commence the vertiginous slide into sub-Arctic delirium.” The storm windows are covered with frost; this saddens me, as I’ve got a 9:00 meeting, and it’s [...]
