I've been contacted my Meta of SC. She is in dire need of an apparel make-over redundancy. She tells me, yet I am skeptical, of Luscious the Dammit Goat's apparent fabric destruction. The Dammit Goat has been with us for over ten years and while we adore her, the wave of wanton destruction must cease. ... read more

Phonographical Time Traveler
It is time. The Flux Monitor reveals all. Yes, patrons of the assemblage rag, the most recent of days contains many puzzling conundrums. Can a conundrum not puzzle? Let me redact. I have assembled all the necessary proponents for my Correlation Phonographical Time Traveler. At the present moment, only the smallest of object can transport - specifically caterpillars of only the American butterflies, such as the Ozark Woodland Swallowtail. Soon, therefore, larger species will be enabled. ... read more
Dogs and Storm Fears
Today is punctuated by thunderous exclamation points and storm-scared dogs. Linus shivers, quakes with pain caused by barometric pressure responses of genetic value. ... read more
Yes, I lived in the Dallas County jail.
The Fear of all Sums — An Artist Statement
My father Bob Heinold had some truly fantastic sayings to insert at the proper moment. This morning I remember a sly, sideways smile as he told me, "Some are born to lead," in response to my winning an honorable mention for a science fair project in the 7th grade. 1967 or thereabouts. Mom used to say things like "They told me you weren't fit to eat with the pigs and I said you were." If she was particularly vexed with my attempt to clean up and appear respectable, she would ask, "Did you get dressed in the closet with the lights out?" or, the famous, "Did you comb your hair with a rake?" These were said with a laugh and a hug, and a complete acceptance of who I was and where I was going (like to a real barn to ride a horse or to the slough to make a frog dam.) ... read more
Japanification of Children’s Popular Culture
I am now officially a source of all things known and unknown. At least that's how special I am to me. After an intensive Googling of myself for my autobiographical entry in a soon-to-be-named publication, something interesting and unexpected came up -- a book by Mark I. West titled "The Japanification of Children's Culture"-- and it quotes a review of The Anime Encyclopedia written for Popmatters. Back in my reviewer of all books days, I could pop out a book review a week for Popmatters.com. I enjoyed the fool out of receiving and reading hundreds of galleys and first editions... ... read more
The Return of Spencer Montgomery
Those avid readers of Mental Kudzu cannot help but recall with vivid clarity the previous incarnation of Spencer Montgomery and his lovely wifeling, Miss Margaret and yes we do, miss Margaret, I mean. It seems Flannagan Wilder has moved back into the trilingual area and functions in his post as curator once again for the Spatulate Museum.[Viewers should relate the link to be contained herewith sooner than later. See "to spagulate is spat upon" which will exist in the Gallery soon enough] ... read more
My Flux is incapacitated.
Yes, children, gather 'round as the truth is related unto you. The FluxMuseum takes time and patience to inhabit. Becoming recently acquainted in the spiritual sense, lo' I say, not yet in the physical or astrophysical, with Cecil Touchon - the amazing and literal existence of life and lies. Flux. It is. I am. ... read more
