I am the proprietor of the Penguin Café, I will tell you things at random

I'm now much more wary of being that kind of artist, or even that kind of blogger, because it just seems to me that it tangles us up in the puppet strings of narratives which are there to trip us up and waste our time. These narratives have, over the last twenty years, got both more slick and more shrill. And it doesn't really matter whether we're pro or anti the actors involved; the important thing is that we tune in, we follow them, we frame the world with the kind of understandings these stories bring with them.

I'm running up 42 flights of stairs Feb. 11 in Cleveland.

Where was my family this weekend? No one was home when I called everyone on the weekly roundup. I can only assume that there was some clandestine Proctor meeting about how amazingly awesome I am. Next time, just invite me: I can share the awesomeness and my rates are comparatively reasonable. Call 1-888-AWESOME!
