a path through books

Today I joined the 1001 Books for 2011. I will not read a thousand books myself. But this community collectively hopes to read and write about lots of books. Right off the bat, I get assigned this surrealist "novel" which is probably nothing like a novel. I sort of fear it is going to be like sitting through a written version of Dogtooth but hopefully not. It's Hebdomeros by Giorgio De Chirico. As far as surrealists go, I tend to prefer the visual artists but I do like Andre Breton's poems.

My car finally came home. A giant beetle lodged itself in the hose for the gas tank somehow. Apparently this is a not uncommon problem. Thanks giant beetle.

Dinner was meatloaf, made with pork, beef, garbanzo beans, fried onions, tomato and leftover bacon from yesterday. It came out pretty well. Mike's favorite thing to eat at the Highball is their meatloaf sandwich, so I experimented a little to get a nice cohesive loaf for sandwiches.
