Sign of the Times

Our future?

Is foreclosure right for you? If you are facing or considering foreclosure, you’re not alone.

Ask yourself:

* Are you stressed out about your mortgage payments?
* Do you have little or no equity in your home?
* Have you had trouble trying to sell your house?
* Is your home sinking under the waves of the real estate crash?
* What if you could live payment free for up to 8 months or more and walk away without owing a penny?

The site’s called youwalkaway.com. You pay them $1000, they help take care of the rest.

In a nightmare I had once seen her giving birth to a devil’s child, her swollen breasts spurting liquid faeces.

This, from Crash, tickled me this evening, as I lay in bed reading, swollen like some diseased tick from a Thanksgiving gorging.

“Why do you like such things?” my mother has asked me on several occasions.1

I honestly don’t know the answer. It’s funny? Somewhat, though not in any conventional sense. It’s creative? Surely somewhat too, as I’d never come up with exactly that image myself. The element of transgression (against what, concretely?) is important as well.

Empty post-prandial thoughts as we head into the Xmas shopping season. Happy Black Friday!


  1. Not that I’d share phrases such as the above with her. It’s been asked of me over much tamer cases.
