split personality as a solution

 "Split personality as a solution: the thought that I am not doing this damned kitchen work, but someone else, someone else . . . enables me, for moments at a time, to bear it without difficulty (the origin of schizonphrenia)   Handke, Weight, 100

Fosse and Handke feed boths sides of my split personality, both/and, and therein the failure of chatgpt.  It lined everything up on a spectrum so it could talk about left, center and right.  What I wanted was both/and.  At the end of Fosse's volume one he has fun with the stream becoming as rapid and blurred as possible until we get to death.  Now what will he do on volume II?  

Quiet day here.  Are we participating in the national strike in support of Minnesota against ICE.  Or having a quiet day for reading and dozing, dozing and reading?  Lot of that in Fosse.  I guess because I didn't close the book again I like him more than I think.  Or I'm curious to see for how long I can enjoy or stand his musical mannerisms.  Does he "perfect" Beckett?  Perhaps, although B would roll his eyes at the return to Rome.  Asle tries to shrug his shoulders and make it a paradox of his own split-personality, or the split between him as clear headed painter and his other self the drunken sleeper rescued from the doorway.  The death of grandfather split him into the two persons who we hear from and about.  

Bela deep into a second novel by a Kurdistani writer.  Sun super brilliant, sky super blue.  Warning message from the Rogers street thermostat but the temp readings seem ok.  So cold there, single temps day after day, below zero every night.  Yikes.  

I changed two door knobs today.  Me and one phillips screwdriver.  A first in my 81 years, a triumph.  

We did not lay in a store of mochis and so resorted to jelly on toast.  Cannot remember the name we used for hamburger in chili sauce on a bun that was common in our childhoods.  

Even with the admiration for what Fosse is doing with such perfection, the warmth of companionship flows to and from Handke.  Similar for M Cheney's small book on/about Barry Lopez.  An interdisciplinary memoir C Taylor would recognize in terms of genre and style.
