Vernal meditations on the vivisectional life

pink_shower.jpg

What is springtime without the traditional Sewage Back-up in the Pink Shower? Spring is in the air here in sunny Austin, TX, and that means it’s time for my bimonthly surgery! How time flies. In October of 2005, a few days after I got my cancer diagnosis but before I’d started any treatments, I listened …

Birdness as usual

I return from abroad this fine brisk morning to find that Congress Ave — Austin’s most conspicuous Ave. — is shut down from Town Lake to the capitol building. Some cops reported “feeling sick” and birds have apparently been dropping dead out of the sky, biblical-plague-like. “Welcome home, Twisty!” they seem to say. Authorities — …

A bug’s death in Australia, as photographed by Deborah Kelly When Aussie blamer Deborah Kelly sent me this marvelous photograph of a giant spider eating a giant dragonfly I was pleased in the extreme, for I exist in a perpetual state of awe over the really superb critters prowling around Australia.

I Got Yer Boobython Right Here

breast_cancer.jpg

It won’t cost you nothin’ to see my rack shot. I wasn’t going to write about this Boobie-Thon thing, mostly because (a) it’s getting plenty of publicity already, and (b) it seems that those involved are motivated by decent enough intentions that anything I say will require me to field a bunch of dreary “how …

Crunch For The Cure

crunchforthecure.jpg

What will happen to global consumerism if breast cancer is ever really cured? Luckily for SunChips, it seems unlikely that we’ll find out in the forseeable future. Sun Chips bag with crass advertising slogan found, amid other Austin City Limits Music Festival garbage (you’d think they’d held the thing in my front yard) in the …

Got Milk?

rotel_chows.jpg

Members of the Faster clan (sibling Tidy and niece Ro-Tel) subverting the status quo in 2003 Ripped from the headlines: Actual local TV news ‘update’: “Is breast-feeding in public beautiful or tab-oo? Tonight at ten find out what Austin thinks about this divisive issue!” Holy Frito-pie on a Guardian Select aluminum crutch. So how did …

Today the spinster aunt contemplates swim-wear. Specifically, nonboobal swim-wear. What’s the big whoop, you ask? Well, it’s like this. If a gal with a couple of lumpy scars where her ta-tas used to be wants to go swimming in public, the sartorial considerations are complex. You’d think nonboobalosity would simplify things, as it does for …
