Sasquatch is almost everyone’s favorite cryptozoological marvel. That’s because he possesses qualities other elusive creatures cannot match. Let’s look at three of them. 1. All natural. Sasquatch is the original nature boy. He lives in the wild and eats nuts and berries (mostly). He has resisted the attractions of urban living. You never see him in restaurants. Fashion holds no appeal for Sasquatch. Not even the practical utility of t-shirts have seduced the hairy beast. His commitment to natural living is an example and an inspiration to all of us who feel that nature has been pushed too far from the center of

Sacré Bleu a review of sorts
Now, in his latest masterpiece, Sacré Bleu, the immortal Moore takes on the Great French Masters. A magnificent “Comedy d’Art” from the author of Lamb, Fool, and Bite Me, Moore’s Sacré Bleu is part mystery, part history (sort of), part love story, and wholly hilarious as it follows a young baker-painter as he joins the dapper Henri Toulouse-Lautrec on a quest to unravel the mystery behind the supposed “suicide” of Vincent van Gogh.
If you have not read any books by Christopher Moore, now might be a good time to start…because I’m telling you how awesome they are, right now. All of them. Okay… all the one’s I’ve read and I have read more than one. The most recent was Sacré Bleu. It was enveloping, alluring, and magical, the kind of book that makes you chuckle out loud in a crowded airport, no matter who looks at you funny. See the quote above; I’m not alone.

Copyright – Mucha style
I recently got an Alphonse Mucha art book and while I was looking through it, in front of some horror movie, with a sketchbook on my lap and a notebook with ideas on visualizing copyright, I got this idea. Those of you that know Mucha are familiar with his many personifications of the seasons as beautiful women, and then the stars as beautiful women. Here are copyright concepts as beautiful women….compliments of me.

Japanese treats
Every year when it gets colder (you know, so perishables don’t melt/ooze while sitting in the Florida sun waiting for us to get home) I am tempted into ordering a box of Japanese treats. Part of my compulsion is the knowledge that there are seasonal – never to be repeated – flavors and if I don’t try them now, I’ll never know the joy. I have very fond memories of the tuna and mayonnaise Doritos chips from years ago. This may sound a little strange coming from someone who doesn’t snack much and whose kitchen doesn’t usually contain junk food. But there it is. This is a snap shot of our lovely haul from this year. It is almost gone now… we have been enjoying it very much.

Clement Skitt’s Word of the Day
“The swell was flash, so I could not draw his fogle.”
Let’s dissect:
Swell: gentleman (1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue by Francis Grose)
Flash: Knowing. Understanding another’s meaning. (1891 American Slang Dictionary by James Maitland)
Draw his fogle: pick his pocket of his silk handkerchief. (1891 American Slang Dictionary by James Maitland)
In other words: the gentleman knew exactly what I was doing so I could not sneak the silk handkerchief from his pocket.

The cremaster cycle by Matthew Barney
Years ago I made a case to our media librarian to acquire The CREMASTER cycle by Matthew Barney. I had seen the visually stunning, mysterious, and grotesque preview online and I knew there was no way I was ever going to see it unless some forward thinking library bought the movie for the collection. There was only one then. There are more now.
