Go Down Old Hannah
07/09/2011
This is an Alan Lomax recording. The picture is apparently from the 50s but that is exactly how the men at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola look walking out to work each morning, today. I am trying to decide what records I will send to the people far away who helped with my bibliography. … More Go Down Old Hannah

Vitriol, Part x(n)
06/09/2011
The other reason I resent all the advisors who preach about how you should do a poor job teaching is that well known professors gave very responsible courses, that I took as an undergraduate, at one of the premier research institutions in the world. They had good materials, they prepared interesting essay questions, they did … More Vitriol, Part x(n)
Advice to New Faculty, Version (f)xne
05/09/2011
I do not know how many times I have given advice to new faculty, or been given advice, so I have numbered this with a series of functions and variables. I am rebelling by giving anti-advice, as there are so many faculty proffering the kind of advice one gets in graduate school. I dislike re-hearing … More Advice to New Faculty, Version (f)xne
Moi de Morón
04/09/2011
Storm Update: T.S. Lee broke through my roof and destroyed part of the interior, where I had finally been able to have damage from the 2008 Hurricanes Gustav and Ike repaired. Before Katrina all these things were covered by homeowner’s insurance, but that is no longer the case. Roofers are coming tomorrow morning, Labor Day. … More Moi de Morón
T.S. Lee / Ezra Pound
02/09/2011
Tropical Storm Lee is coming on in, and you can feel it. Hurricane Katia is in the Atlantic, but we have had hurricanes in October several times. In 2008 I lost the same piece of my roof twice, to Gustav and then to Ike. Update 1: And it’s here, and a state of emergency has … More T.S. Lee / Ezra Pound
Little Krishna
02/09/2011
I last saw my cat, an important personage, exactly six months ago. I had named him Krishna. Earlier he had been called Melody, then Mel when he turned out to be a boy. I do not know what his name is now. Axé.
Tepoztlan
01/09/2011
This place is superior to my present location, as Ubuntu 11.04 is superior to Windows. Seriously. This Dell Windows box I have in the office, upon which I am now typing at 5:50 PM, used to be much fancier than anything I had at home but it pales in comparison to the post-IBM laptop I … More Tepoztlan
Five Classes Got Soul (In a Little Tent)
31/08/2011
We went over to Lafayette, to this store called Right On Fashions, to see whether we might buy Stetson hats. It seems they are $125 hats, but the store could “let us have them” for $99 plus tax. Yeah, right we said. Nobody knows the trouble I seen, nobody knows the sorrow. Axé.
