| If you recognize the title you will want to know that I was once in a set crew that built the big plant in Little Shop of Horrors. (If you don't recognize the title, that's just fine with me.) And whether or not you recognize the title, you may want to know that some enterprising soul has created something called a feed for our site.
If you put accommodatfeed into your LJ friends list, you will get all the latest posts from the accommodatingly site beamed directly into your brain safely conveyed to your own livejournal friends page almost as soon as Jessie and/or I post to our site.
I had no idea this was even possible until Jessie told me tonight that it was taking place. Many thanks to whoever created the feed.
Also, why doesn't livejournal have a "current reading" slot? I guess because we do listen to music while typing, and we don't normally read books while typing? Whatever. My current reading is Dombey and Son, and I have promised not to start any new twentieth-century fiction (I am starting new poetry books, of course) until I've finished it. Believe it or not, the novel-- almost 1,000 pages in my paperback version-- exists in complete searchable online form. I recommend it only for people who have already finished, and already really liked, both Bleak House and David Copperfield. | comments: 18 comments or Leave a comment   |
| Just discovered that a few more people have added me as a friend-- thanks!
This is my periodic reminder that I am now blogging at our personal accommodatingly site (as is Jessie).
For the past couple of weeks I have been womenshoops blogging at womenshoops.
For the past week I have been collecting literary criticism and poetry at Andrew Johnston's excellent The Page. Andrew comes back from vacation very soon and will get his site back. I had very little idea how hard it is to find a new and substantial piece of poetry-criticism on the Web every single weekday... but that's what Andrew more or less does.
I'm also at the Huffington Post this morning-last night.
At least two of our cats are curled up into perfect spheres. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| Still blogging at accommodatingly and stopping by here to read y'all's posts: thought you'd like a reminder in case you want to read ours. Also in the Huff Post again today here, this time on basketball. (Maybe literature next time.)
We would attend Andy's funeral if we were not thousands of miles away. I'll try to send something that can be left there, if not read then. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| As of today, and assuming the contract comes through as promised, I'm the incoming chair of the Mac English Department.
(Posted here because I know some Mac people and some academic friends read LJ constantly; more detailed and more regular updates on our lives can now be found at our own site.)
Feel free to post advice, warnings, complaints as comments here. (Post them fast if they're the sort of problem I can try to solve at ADE. Post them slowly if you prefer and if they're the sort of problem that won't come up till the fall.) | | comments: 9 comments or Leave a comment |
| From the new British Sea Power album:
"I wrote elegiac stanzas for you/ I hope and pray that they come true!"
(Not these elegiac stanzas, I hope.)
The album so far sounds like a somewhat better Keane, or like a slightly slicker version of the more commercial songs on the first BSP. So far so good.
Don't forget, most of our lives now chronicled at the new, snazzier accommodatingly site, and not necessarily cross-posted here. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Jessie has used her skills, concentration and devotion to revamp the accommodatingly site so that it's a freestanding blog rather than a receipient for livejournal feeds. Check it out.
That means we're blogging there now, here not so much. If you are someone who understands RSS feeds, please adjust your RSS feeds accordingly; if you are someone who keeps up with us through an lj friends list but doesn't understand RSS feeds, and I sure don't understand them yet, it means there's just one more freestanding blog you should visit regularly, as I may not be posting here very much (still hanging around, though).
OK, two more. (This is the blog of my cousin, an indie theater director and producer in New York. Or rather: the blog of her small fluffy dog.)
And if there's anything we need to see in Indianapolis, other than the obvious, do let us know. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
