pore over this//donald trump

While reading an article today, a phrase caught this computer's Apple dictionary:

you may think this blog post is politically relevant so far. i agree.

The article can be found on OZY.com. Wikipedia simplifies what this media service is and how it started:

We'll talked more about OZY later. but what gets me this article's phrase, gradually and strategically magnified through screenshots: pore over. Sounds poetic. But what does it mean?

Okay, I know what pores are; I can blame episodes of inflamed insecurity on inflammation-decrying skin commercials. But openness does not seem to be what the phrase "pore over" is referring to:

Hmmm. Being totally focused on something seems the negation of an opening through which microscopic particles can pass.

this pic is suggesting I pore over pores.

I'm thinking more. Maybe my poetic suspicion of the phrase–although used in discussion of Donald Trump–is on to something. This Apple Dictionary isn't even sure "pore" is related to "peer," which, as a verb, seems relevant:

perhaps?

So if English uses the word "pore" to describe perforations in your human exterior, but also uses it to describe a human genuinely dedicating effort to something, then can "poring over" describe the process of making one's entire being a hole, and allowing that something to pour over and through?

don't even get me started on standard English.

ad lib//a challenge for you according to pleasure\\reciprocate

"Ad lib":

often used as a verb to convey acting spontaneously and without plan

its Latin root LITERALLY MEANING "ACCORDING TO PLEASURE"

SO I WILL NOW DO SOMETHING AD LIB

OR AD LIB AD LIB 

AD LIB POEM~~

ad lib my lips according to your pleasure

according to my pleasure, ad lib yours

now, if we were to translate this (using the modern verb meaning and attaching the Latin derivate):

do something unplanned according to pleasure to my lips according to your pleasure
according to your pleasure, do something unplanned according to pleasure to yours

yikes my poem sucks

the website from which i recovered this image shows that Google knows your childhood more than you think.

NOW I want this blog to become more interactive. I want to hear you.

So I'm giving you a challenge.

challenges with Sarah Simon.

So far in this post, we've dabbled into discussion of spontaneity according to your pleasure. Yesterday, a friend let me in on exploring my top Google pleasures from the 28 days, or a way to view a recent history of my top Google searches.

Do you want to learn of the recent urgencies that have channeled through your fingertips, in hope of some clarifying or self-confirming search?

Well.

STEP 1: Log into your Gmail account. From what I know, you can only do this with a Gmail account.

STEP 2:Hark back to a particular home page.

STEP 3:Click the square of squares in the upper right hand corner.

STEP 4:Click "My Account" from the drop-down.

STEP 5:Under the "Personal Info & Privacy" Menu, click "Account Overview".

STEP 6:Then you'll see "See how you use Google." Check out your dashboard.

You may have to enter your password again.

 STEP 7:From the dashboard, you'll be able to see the various ways you use Google. After scrolling, you'll arrive at "Search History." If it's enabled, "Search History" and its drop-down menu will allow you to, as I said, explore your recent pleasures.

Here are mine, world:

adrian monk frying an egg. if this is you, know know where that comes from.

So, we've covered most of the challenge. Here comes the unplanned part of viewing the things you've searched "according to pleasure":

Write a poem including at least 4 of the items on your "Top Queries" list. If you post your pleasure poem in the comments (either on the blog on on Facebook), I'll post mine.

See ya.
