Today the weather sings like Julie Andrews and dances like Baryshnikov. Today the sky is cerulean like James Colburn like In Like Flint like peepers. We played at identifying flowers today, on a long walk uphill to the picture show—my city in celluloid. I thought every plant was Japonica. The dinosaur celebrated the lack of snow by pretending he was a rainbow.
* 1. vanity: I think all blogs should reflect an appropriate amount of authorial vanity. This one is no exception.

3. Cubus: A quote I love from Lolita: "So Humbert the Cubus schemed and dreamed - and the red sun of desire and decision (the two things that create a live world) rose higher and higher, while upon a succession of balconies a succession of libertines, sparkling glass in hand, toasted the bliss of past and future nights." The "Cubus" part is a pun on "incubus" and follows a line about impregnating Lolita. This somehow appeals to me.
