January 2014


January  2014

Wednesday night

Surprised early today to see a book in the mailbox--Proof for my Chromenos book.  Now to proof it.  Quiet day.  Ritual breakfast and 2pm meal.  Rose Parade.  Short walk outside, pretty cold.  Va watching Oklahoma.  Short nap.  Diving further into the Hungarian big novel of last year.  We watched the Everything Illuminated movie the read about four summaries of the story to find out what the heck exactly.  Can see how the novel overeached badly badly.  Got way too much splash. 

My Copenhagen of the Mind  --  phrase in Bernhard's "Over All"  spoken by Wegener --  so is it a cliché in German literature to think of Copenhagen as some pinnacle of Germanic thought/idealism? Kierkegaard.  Either/Or

Worth asking Helen? 

Jan 8   Weds night   Day off.  Lunched at India Palace in Manchester.  Not sure I like Gibson's cafe, or even the bookstore.  Still getting used to it.  Had coffee and brownie there.  Less cold today.  Walked in the mall.  Few emails from Pat about his book, graphic novel, graphic poem.  Told him to change the title but not sure he liked that. 

Va's macbook crashed two days ago---screen black.  Second macbook also crashing---no disk space left.  I think we go to Pheasant Lane tomorrow to buy a new computer.
