Preparing for From the Market Work

"What does that line mean?"

"Indeed, there are few more reliable ways of being expelled from a culture than continuing seriously to query its taken-for-granted intellectual framework. Playing the stranger is therefore a difficult business; yet precisely what we need to do with respect to the culture of experiment. We need to play the stranger, not to be the stranger. A genuine stranger is simply ignorant. We wish to adopt a calculated and an informed suspension of our taken-for-granted perceptions of experimental practice and its products."

From This Weekend's Market

Animal Magnetism

The allure of lace
peeping out from under
a structured blazer
proved irresistible
to the wolf. In her
innocence, she did
not know to be afraid.
Stella McCartney
wool blazer ($2,085),
silk-lace camisole
($785), and thigh-high
boots; clothes at

matchup/kept apart only by lunch

This matchup of two kinds of instruction, book by book and day by day for four years, kept apart only by lunch, is a perfect example of the separation and coexistence of the two cultures that was [sic] characteristic of the Cambridge curriculum in Francis Bacon’s day.

--Joseph M. Levine, Humanism and History: Origins of Modern English Historiography

[Don't read this book, just this sentence. Don't worry about the entirety of this sentence, just the six words from this post's title. The rest of these words just enable this sextet.]

Unverifiable

contrary to appearances, the above are not "word verification" words.

Velvet Touch

It was very peculiar
that the door to
Grandmother's
cottage was wide
open. Why am I so
out of sorts? Little
Red Riding Hood
wondered. I usually
feel happy when
visiting Granny.

[tonight while I made dinner, Kenneth read poems to me
from the September Vogue. Poems is my word; he'd say copy, as in
"This copy is insane." So so lovely of lovely him.]

From This Weekend's Market (For Drew)

Since Drew's 12/8/08 comment on a 8/4/08 post, I've sought to castrate the cucumber-- to de-emphasize its phallicity in photos. This week, though, I began to consider an alternate response, to embrace the felicity, to strive to further amp up the penile in my cucumber snaps.
