Just wanted to mention that I still haven’t gotten 17 emails. A signed personalized copy of Jhegaala will go to the 17th person who offers to send me a copy of Colin Turnbull’s The Forest People.

Chords Wanted: "Spoon River"
Google fails to turn up the chord progression for “Spoon River” by Michael Smith. Does anyone reading this know it?
Brust's Law of Mathematical Formulations
The probability of someone making a mathematical formulation on a non-mathematical subject is inversely proportional to its usefulness.
New song lyrics, waiting for a setting.
…or some other song it can be sung to. Anyway, *ahem* here’s my latest chart-buster:
My TV is on the food channel
Looking for new things to eat.
But when that music starts
It goes straight to my heart
Which stirs, shakes, and then skips a beat.
The palms of my hands become moist
I reach for fresh pepper to grate
I set the oven on kill
And hold myself still
As my soul starts to salivate
Chorus:
I want to have Alton Brown’s baby
Just cuz I love how he cooks.
We’d make a child, in the end
That’s a fabulous blend
Of his talent, along with his looks.
My eyes remain glued to the TV
In rapture, I don’t even blink.
Each kitchen applience
With gastronomical science
(Everything but the kitchen sink)
Is grist for a splendid concoction.
If I can’t cook it, it isn’t his fault.
I’m in love with his eyes
His shoulders, his thighs
His voice and his kosher salt.
Repeat chorus
Just felt like quoting…
“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital; that, in fact, capital is the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed,–that labor can exist without capital, but that capital could never have existed without labor. Hence . . . labor is the superior–greatly superior–of capital.” — Abraham Lincoln
