Sorrynotsorry. Kasuga dancing to BoomChickaBoom. Kasuga got cake.
I edited a bit of Kasuga dancing to call upon the wind spirits with audio of Daffy Duck singing boom chicka boom like he is Carmen Miranda,
I'm laughing at my own joke here, but if it makes someone else smile, my job is done.
Our little cat Iffy (Iphigenia : ) was rescued from a feral colony when she was about 6 months old. Now she is almost 2! Unfortunately, she has a life-threatening condition called chylothorax. It makes lymph fluid build up in her chest cavity, and would eventually cause her to suffocate. Ever...
If you want to see a feral rescue get another chance at life, donate or share!
Iffy thanks you : )

This is my kitty, Iphigenia (Iffy).
We love her very much, and hope we can get together the money to save her.

The latest installment for The Bell Jar, Chapters 11 and 12.
#1. What is the importance of sleep? I’ve often been interested in studies about sleep deprivation and circadian rhythms. After Esther is home, she claims she hasn’t slept in seven nights. Her mother tells her it is not possible, but she knows she watched the second hand and minute hand and hour hand. She thinks: I saw the days of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes,…

#1. Bile green with nile green. Chapter 9 opens with Esther talking to Hilda: A wisp of bilious green straw perched on her brow like a tropical bird. Bile green, They were promoting it for fall, only Hilda, as usual, was a half a year ahead of time. Bile green with black, bile green with white, bile green with nile green, its kissing cousin.” This reminded me of Pantone Color of the Year…

#1. What is Buddy’s problem? I know, the story of her ‘date’ with Buddy at the TB clinic with him insisting Esther learn how to ski and then seeming almost glad she breaks her leg is not until Chapter 8, but what is Buddy’s problem!?! I think the whole point of Chapter 7 and her date with Constantin is to contrast with the wacky things Buddy and his family subject her to in Chapter 8 (and other…

#1. A weird date just got weirder. One thing I really like about this book is Esther’s inner psychology. Chapter 5 starts with Esther receiving a phone call from a man named Constantin. She is recovering from ptomaine poisoning and half-asleep, but she realizes it is a man with whom Mrs. Willard was trying to set her up on a date. I had to jump back to Chapter 1 to figure out who Mrs. Willard…

A new blog post about The Bell Jar, meant to amuse even if you haven't read the Bell Jar.
#1. Is this book real? I mean, is it really about Sylvia Plath’s life? The back cover of my edition says, “The Bell Jar is a novel about the events of Sylvia Plath’s twentieth year: about how she tried to die, and how they stuck her together with glue.” It really doesn’t seem totally factual, though, and the main character is named Esther. So I started a little research on Sylvia Plath. The Bell…

A new approach to my author blog. Feedback appreciated.
# 1. I thought this book was supposed to be much more…melancholy? Or weird in an Emily Dickinson way. Have you ever formed an impression of a book before you read it? I know I heard of this book and saw it around while I was in high school, 1993-97 era. In those times I’m sure it seemed too trendy to me. In the post-Cobain era, anything popularized was obviously lousy. Past judgments aside, I…

Ok. I'm miserable enough to write again.
Ok. I’m miserable enough to write again.
I resurrected my accounts associated with being an author, for pearlcarson, Alpha Darlene and the Secret Identities, and the supporting social media and blog stuff. It has been almost 4 years since I have written. 4 years. Not completely devoid of writing, but close enough. I had a theory a few years back, since writing Alpha Darlene came easily, comparatively. I realized a big difference was my…
