hello world

Joneworlds is probably my favorite thing on gemini. Cute, mundane magical realism fantasy. gemini://republic.circumlunar.space/users/joneworlds/

Oh whoops, forgot I was livetweeting Everything on a Waffle here. This will be the last interruption.

Thinking of blogging

also lots of subtle death this chapter. Honeycutt’s friends are all dying of cancer. Primrose is scared of “ghosts of dead whalers” working out in the gym. This keeps the uncertain fate of her parents in the forefront, and also probably predicts the fate of the dying town.

Chapter 3: a long detour about how difficult it is to tolerate Ms. Honeycut because she only speaks in annecdotes about people nobody else knows. And then Uncle Jack is as lively as a shaken up bottle of coke when it comes to real estate development. Capitalism! This chapters recipe is lemon cookies. I love that every chapter so far has a recipe. No more waffles this chapter.

Another recipe: blanched asparagus. Best eaten by hand with your fingers.

wow okay, page 18. Horvath drops this amazing paragraph out of the blue where she succintly and artfully flits from pacifism and violence to family and togetherness: everybody is violent at heart and you can only choose pacifism through actions. And… people are alone at heart, but family is not something you can choose: it just happens to you. i wonder if Primrose will come to reverse her stance on this.

Here we go! She made about a million waffles while I sat there. She had to make about a million every day because at The Girl on the Red Swing they served everything on a waffle e v e r y t h i n g o n a w a f f l e

Actually included a recipe for carrots in apricot glaze, as promised. (Primrose describes this as the color of her hair at the beginning of the chapter.) To be honest though I could do with a little less carrots in apricot glaze and with a little more waffles!

Okay life is rough for Primrose. Her parents are missing, nobody wants to take care of her. She is constantly reminded that she in only worth three dollars per hour. Her life and belongings are distributed between three different houses. I am not in the body of life. I float.

There is likely no media that has not been altered by coronavirus. This is a perfectly clear and convincing argument for living text. Horvath had no intention of this sentence being haunting to the reader because she could not have predicted that the reader would be in the middle of a years long pandemic. The authors intention counts for less than half of the book\s ultimate meaning.

They\’ve all got colds, grumbled Miss Perfidy, turningto look accusingly at me. Big crowd packed into a smallhall. We\’re all going to get sick now.

back. made waffles and hashbrowns. It was, so far, infinitely more waffles than what have appeared in this book

Time out: pausing to go make waffles

The copy I’m reading is from archive.org, and it is archive.org-tastic, complete with OCR defects and weirdness. Good dash of comedy so far to leaven the mood, since the girl just lost her parents and all. Her caretaker is named Perfidy, which means something like unfaithful or disloyal.

it is short, 140 pages, according to the table of contents. First impressions: 4 pages in. It is about a plucky, precocious redhead girl whose parents are lost at sea, and who is definitely NOT Pippi Longstocking. Distinct lack of waffles so far. Am disappoint.

I have never read this book before, but I love waffles, and acdw describes it as Finding Yourself As a Pre Teen, the literary term for which I’m pretty sure is wafflesroman

Hello please be advised that I will be using this space for the next couple of whiles to live tweet me reading the Newberry Honor winning Everything On a Waffle by Polly Horvath, 2012
