Quotes and videos - expanded a bit in These titles mean nothing.

First quote is from Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, a novel published in 1937.

My paperback copy is heavily marked up. Would be fun to know who read it so carefully before me.

The quote:
* All night now the jooks clanged and clamored. Pianos living three lifetimes in one. Blues made and used right on the spot. Dancing, fighting, singing, crying, laughing, winning and losing love every hour. Work all day for money, fight all night for love. The rich black earth clinging to bodies and biting the skin like ants. *

New one:
* I couldn’t stand it if he wasn’t with me. I don’t know what I’d do. He can take anything and make summertime out of it. Then we live on that happiness until he makes more happiness come along. *

The book is written in a heavy dialect that isn’t hard to read but I didn’t reproduce here.

The other quote is from me. I scribbled it in shorthand over a failed newspaper sudoku and managed to save it from August 22.

… not an argument, but a circular discussion with a subtext of possible disagreement.

The video got bad. What was I thinking? Who knows?

Here’s a different one.

Here’s the first one.
