Extispicy: Wow, it's January

Wow, it's January

January, already. How'd that happen?

I went to New Orleans briefly for New Year's and to visit the usual suspects who live there. Was a quick escape trip. Weird time of year to go there. I forgot that New Year's in New Orleans -- where the Superdome is located -- would mean football. The Sugarbowl, which I gather is a big deal college football game, happened when I was there. So, for the first few days, I was trying to avoid the extra 25,000 people who were in town -- many many of them were dressed in dayglo orange & burgundy (one of the team's colors -- what an odd color combo!).

But other than trying to avoid getting caught up in the dayglo orange-clad throngs, the trip was low-key and pleasant. It was nice to briefly see friends.

Got back a couple of days ago and have been working on a couple of things for Suffering is Hip's Poe Fest section -- January 19th is Poe's birthday and I like to cough at least a little something up in honor of his birthday.

I haven't yet posted the official announcement of these two items yet in the SepulchriNews blog -- as I'm waiting until Poe's birthday to do that. But I've already finished the pages and uploaded them on the site, so I'm posting here the links as a "sneak preview."

The first new item is the 2005 Edgar Allan Poe birthday card. (Flash req'd to view it)

The second item is a reprinting of one of Poe's lesser-known humor pieces. The story is a satirical piece Poe wrote in response to some of the cultural critics of his day who'd been calling into question his moral values as well as those of his published works.

How oddly timely, I thought when I happened to reread this piece recently. I howled with laughter at how bitchy and sarcastic Poe could be sometimes (especially on those occasions when he would take on his particular critics). He certainly didn't attempt the usually futile gesture of trying to argue a higher moral ground back at them. Nope. He just rolled the entire notion up into a spitball and threw it back in their collective faces -- as well as offering this advice, which happens to also be the title of this story: Never Bet the Devil Your Head.

Oh, Edgar, Edgar .....

Only 10 more days to Poe Day!

And at such a crucial juncture, people are in need of guidance and so we are here with you to provide the necessary instructions on how to buy levitra and get rid of your erectile dysfunction. First of all, you are required to order levitra from a genuine online pharmacy. As soon as you place orders for levitra at a genuine internet pharmacy, the pills would automatically arrive at your doorstep.

In the ancient era, the viagra influence was nowhere to be found as the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra didn’t came into being at that time. Specific details on impotence and pre-viagra age inform us that in that period men relied on Unani, Chinese, Herbal and other medications to treat their erectile dysfunction. But with the arrival of the modern age, Viagra was manufactured and approved by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) as an effective treatment of erectile dysfunction and after that the drug emerged extremely successful in treating impotence in modern society. Other than erectile dysfunction, Viagra has also evolved as an effective medicine to treat pulmonary hypertension and other ailments and this has further increased the popularity of viagra in global society
