So one cold winter day, I cooked up a big bowl of mung bean soup. That is 绿豆。 Girlfriend freaks out..... `are you crazy ... 不能做绿豆汤在冬天 !!! She absolutely refused to eat any of it, wouldn't even taste a spoonful. Another things is socks in the washing machine. I just throw everything in, add some juice, turn it on. Jieshule. No, no, no says girlfriend, must not wash socks this way!!

Zues, fill me in!

And another thing. All 17,322 of my Chinese girlfriends, when they help me do the washing up of dishes, refuse to put the dishes, bowls, spoons upside down. Look it is simple. Ya put the bowls upside down on a bit of fabric, the water remaining from washing/rinsing drains out, and everything is dry in an hour. You put bowls upside up, and the next day ya still got a bowl with residual washing water sitting in yer bowl. I am not a rocket scientist.

However, I have learned. Don't funk with a woman cooking in yer kitchen, and don't funk with a woman mopping yer floor. Or doing your laundry. Just shut up and go read some Wittgenstein.

Our NiuNiu is a calico cat, 三花猫 或者 三色猫. She's very special to us.

This is useful and interesting information, by my ken. I do like cats, and one minus 20 December day a cat came mewling and injured outsida my door as I was leaving to University. Pure white, except for the blood red stain on her back, mauled, but escaped from, I suppose a coyote, as they were all about that winter.

I didn't have time at the time, just opened the door, she rushed in out of desperation, starvation and injury, and into the basement. I opened a tin of tuna, put it on basement floor and went off to school. I was living alone at the time, at the inherited farmhouse, countryside, southern Ontario.

I don't think kitty cat showed her face for about two weeks. I knew she was there, as every day I would put out a can of tuna and every afternoon it was licked clean.

Eventually, though, we got to know each other, and co-habited for about 15 years. Don't go getting funny ideas, Gio.

I called her Milkweed. My afterwards girlfriend called her Whitey. She weren't too creative, but she had a really nice ass.

Perhaps I should say "can and DO" appreciate it. I read just enough of Pound's Cantos to know 1) I can indeed appreciate the stuff; 2) I have other pressing demands on my artistic time. So, sadly, Pound's work does not belong to me. Conversely, I do not appreciate Angelou's word skeins, (my berserker gods sei dank), so I am among the people her work does not belong to. In any case, "the people" is a collectivist abstraction, a gilding of mediocrity by the mediocre menschenmenge.

Poet tree grow in the muddy water, in the dirt. From foisted forms and idignant soil grows a thought so perspicasious, as to be undeniable.

I think I wrote that around when I was around 19, or 20 and jus learnin how to be a drunk.

Actually, that's not bad. If you can pad it out to a few thousand lines, we can talk me being your literary agent. You know, something about the Kublai Khan pitching a "stately pleasure dome," throw in a sulky Myrmidon putting a Trojan on his horse, add a racy affait about the Doktor learned in all the sciences who can't get laid without Mephisto's help. A few caged birds singing. Whimpering actually, not banging. Then when 'was Sie besitzen sehen Sie wie in weiten, und was verschwand wird Ihr zur Wirchlichkeiten,' gimme a call and we'll talk contract.

Personally, I can't figger out why my poetic aspirations came to naught. They say poets are born not made, right? Well, I was certainly born. I even got a certificate to prove it. But the well-springs of my creativity are stoppered up tighter than a tampaxed toilet. The Muses ghosted me like the neurotic chicks on hook-up sites do once they see my real photo and bank statement. (The birth certificate part was plagiarized from Saki. Sorry.)

That was actually very funny.

I have been vaping since about 2015, when the vape technology was still primitve. Before, you could buy all the stuff off Taobao. Then they removed all sales of anything vape related off of Taobao, so I had to get everything from a private store in Shanghai. Now they are eliminating all sales of tank like vapes, all vape oil.

I went from being to a two pack a day smoker, who hacked and coughed for half an hour every morning, to someone, whom through vaping, does not cough, clothes and house don't stink of smoke, and vaping has no perceptible effect on my cardio vascular system. Also (until recently) much cheaper. But there is no state monopoly on vapes, and vaping related stuff, as there is in tobacco. Now there are trying to shut it down as much as they can. I am addicted to nicotine, though I did manage to quit for a year, 2000 being the year. Now I don't even make the attempt. I know what I am and too old to change. Not even interested.

A thing that drives me nuts. You go gets a meal. They give you a bowl of rice to go with meal. I didn't ask for bowl of rice, I don't a want bowl of rice, I ain't gonna eat any rice, and then you're gonna throw it in the garbage. Where does insanity start?

Allusions to diverse references, without coherent connections and reference do not cleverness make. None the less, I have discovered, that generally speaking, I do not like the south of China. Neither the people, not the landscape, though people, well people are people , and there are bunches of them I like from everywhere. Aside frome this, Chinese speakingly, I am a dongbeiren. I hafta get my ass back up there. Don't like the south of China.

Well my pappy Giuseppe was out in the barn, pullin some strings, I was reading Wittgenstein, when a splashing resounds plasticly, but profoundly from the nearby lake. Opeaonogaonara , There, canoe wise, was Hairy Mary, and Crazy Timmy. Gio was being pulled in the wake, with some cordage around his neck, and Heidigger straddling him. Now Mary steps on the side of the canoe, though I hald told her multitudionlsy... Bow or prow, bow or prow, baby, make up yer mind. Nonetheless, she was a swimmer, emerged immaculate from the depths, wearing her best negligeeeeeeee., with nipples protruding immensly, and she and I repaired to my fangzi to consider.
