p.s. Hey. So, like I said on Saturday, I'll be off on a work/pleasure trip starting this afternoon until the 18th, and the blog will be in reruns during that time. I'm likely to be showing up here sporadically to do the p.s. during those two weeks, so feel free to comment as usual or almost usual, if you like. ** MyNeighbourJohnTurtorro, Hi, man. Cool, great, really happy that some of the music clicked. Why do you move so often? Are you into doing that? I'll look for the 'Kings of Summer' trailer. Yeah, if you think you'll make it over here, let me know. Would be cool. Always really good to see you. ** DavidEhrenstein, Hi, D. I can see that 'GFI' has you at least semi-written all over him. Good for The Nation. Weird to prop a place for merely reporting on something that should be all over the news. ** Wolf, Hey. Ha ha, I think that actual hunks with a stake in the status would bristle at those lightly muscular 'twinks' being called hunks. I think the difference is more in the hair length. I've the advantage of having seen all the slaves' photos and not just the ones I chose to share, but a bunch of those floppy-hairs had abs, etc. lurking under their loose t-shirts, and the right camera an angle and light level can work wonders. But, blah blah, yeah, I get your point. I think if more giant guys wrote better profile texts and were more pleasing to my particular eyes, there'd be a better balance, but oh well. There do seem to be a whole bunch of ex-military in/on the S/M social networks, and I would say 90% of them are self-billed as slaves rather than as masters. Interesting. Loire, sweet, totally. We'll be hold up in Tours 'cos it's central-ish, biggish, and probably has an array of okay restaurants and maybe even a heath food store. Thanks, big W. Talk to you soon. ** Misanthrope, Hi, George. American car radio context, okay. I'm a know-nothing on its current wares, so I'll believe you, and I haven't given MC's stuff an attentive listen. I'm def. on her side, I guess, in this stupid MVA hoohah. Yeah, when I read Mt. Airy, I think I probably see why it was named that, but if a suburb has been stamped on it, all bets are off. Was the weekend fun? I saw some pix of you on FB looking like you were having a quite pleasant time, if they were up-to-the-minute. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, man. Particularly beautiful slave responses this month, I thought. Really, keep them. We should try to get Kiddiepunk to let us do a collab. slaves calls-and-TM-responses booklet or something. You're good. I never google the texts, so I miss out on the song lyric quotations a lot of the time. Anyway, it was an honor, sir. ** Bill, Hey. I know, words to live by, ha ha. That is a good profile text. Some of the most linguistically colorful slaves are based in Berlin. Thanks about the gig post. How was Night of the Museums? Any highlights? The Loire Valley is really lovely. I had fantasies while there last time of having a 'summer home' thing in the area even. ** James, The camera angle and low light didn't hurt his thing either. Cheers to you! See you probably way before the 18th rolls around. ** œ, Hi. The slaves are intense. I like their texts especially in general, but that makes sense considering my stuff, I guess. We'll be documenting two Nakaya pieces while there, one in Loire itself in the garden of a castle and one in a tiny village not so far from there. Probably no editing. I think we're going to wait and shoot a bunch of her works before we start thinking about the presentation. Packing is done, and no pre-trip anxiety at all. I only get anxious when there's a long plane flight involved for some reason. Yes, what you wrote about not letting the text get to the center of your head makes total sense. Love back. See you again soon. ** Graham Russell, Hello, welcome, Mr, Russell. Or maybe 'can't be bothered' as a strategy? It got me interested, but I'm weird. Anyway, hi, thank you! ** Murat, Hello. Thank you for a-botting my blog. ** _Black_Acrylic, Thanks, Ben! It should be really nice. Yes, sweet about the two-part success! Especially re: your giant set, whose details I will investigate between soon and slipping on my backpack. Everyone, the multi-talent known around here as _Black_Acrylic is also known here and elsewhere as Ben 'Jack Your Body' Robinson, who DJed the shit out of a thing the other night, and who, and here I begin to quote him, 'played a mammoth 4-hour set, and the playlist is right here. Mostly raw and psychedelic with lots of early Chicago jams. If you click a link there's the Discogs page for each track, should you be curious about anything.' There are far worse ways to spend your Monday than in the cradle at the other end of that link. ** S., It feels like dawn. I'm bad with 'I' too. I go for constructed, faux- but sincere/authentic 'I', which is easier. A master who sees boys as haute couture is an interesting combo. You might be a total magnet Master. ** Steevee, Hi. I haven't listened to 'Self-Portrait' since it came out. I thought it was a mess at the time. But I'm one of those people whose interest in Dylan's work lessens significantly post-'John Wesley Harding'. It's spooky when paint smells like chocolate. I know what you mean. Someone is paying people to draw attention to the new Seidel film? Nice boot strap pulling action there. ** Grant maierhofer, Hi, Grant. The trip should be really great, yeah, thanks. I have high hopes for the Scandinavia book, and working collaboratively with Zac is always really exciting. 'Carnage', right, I forgot all about it. Hunh. Maybe I'll see it. It seems like a total possibility for in-flight movie schedules maybe. I do like Pissed Jeans, yeah. I don't think I've seen those videos, though. Consider them marked for viewing, and thanks for the tip. When does the academic year start? I'm feeling very good lately, thanks for asking. Yeah, things are great. I did get the copy of 'Crows', and it's going on my trip with me! All that love looped back to you, man. ** Rewritedept, Hey. Oh, right, it's like ... whatever holiday over there right now. Labor Day, I think? Drinking will screw your kidneys over time, so some caution and moderation might be advisable re: later life. Grim/sad about your neighbor. Fingers crossed for him. Pix while on the trip will be taken by one or the other of us, I'm sure. Anyway, I think I won't be going totally away from the blog unless I'm surprised. That seasoning stuff looks kind of delicious possibly, yeah. Okay, later, soon. ** Chris Dankland, Hi. Which one's biiiitch? Hold on. Oh, right, yeah, he's kind of alt lit-y or something on every level. I can't remember that comment you mention, very weirdly. I may have to go hunt that. The blog seems to get a spambot maybe once a month at most, and almost always only on escort or slave days, maybe unsurprisingly. I'm sorry about Lil Wayne's down-spiral. Why do you think that has happened? Any theories? Happy MD! ** Postitbreakup, Thank you, Josh! I will try, and I will likely succeed. You have some kind of great everything while I'm off doing that, okay? Love, me. ** Sypha, Wow, you found people to type for you? You're lucky man with legible handwriting and legible friends too. Thanks for the good trip wishes. I'll likely be letting you and everyone else know what's what here and there along the way. ** Chilly Jay Chill, Thanks, Jeff. Should be great. Cool, I'll get the Superchunk. I liked 'Majesty Shredding' pretty well. In fact, it deserves a lot more listens. Back in the day, they ruled. And they were a guaranteed total bliss fest live. More thumbs up on 'The Grandmaster'. I will def. make sure to see that on a decent screen. Dash Snow: Hm, I was never all that into his work, but I liked the whole scene he was in and part of and the area he was working in. I haven't looked at his stuff in ages. So, let me do that and refresh my opinion because I don't feel so sure at the moment. Why, are you into his stuff? ** Okay. I leave you with one of my stacks. I mean 'leave you', in the sense of going into reruns and being back here with a p.s. in tow less consistently than is usual. But I'll see you soon, no doubt.
