It’s here. Available for a limited time only, ICED BORSCHT & OTHER DELIGHTS — the Book (Volume I).

Excitement is in the air, no?

Addendum: I made this book not only because I find Pedia Press, the publisher that facilitates these Wikipedia compendiums cool and fun, but because I occasionally get feedback that the Iced Borscht blog is too esoteric. Impenetrable even. So I thought I’d make a roadmap. The above compendium contains a lot of things I find compelling. Things I enjoy, things I want to learn more about. For example, hypnagogic mind-states — that time right before the mind falls asleep, right at the threshold– might be the best time to listen to the great music of Ken Nordine. I’m very familiar with these states because I experience hypnic jerks then. I occasionally fall prey to the Exploding Head Syndrome in sleep-related moments too.

The book touches on concepts I’m paying particular attention to lately. This summer, for instance, I have toyed around with a dream machine, and I hope to make my first visit to an isolation tank later this month. I’m obsessed with the mind right now. “I’ll show you the life of the mind!”

And I’ve always had a fondness for:

• Bond Girls
• Edward Hopper
• David Lynch
• Taxidermy; and
• the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Hope this helps.
