p.s. Hey. The combo of sickness and weird related sleeping problems has me pretty wiped out today, so apologies re: the p.s. for the third and hopefully last time. ** Tosh Berman, Hi. Aw, thanks, but the gin and the Beach Boys probably get a bunch of the credit. It was a good group, though. Luck of the draw, basically. I always use long plane flights to catch up on blockbusters, as you probably know. What did you watch? I'm seriously interested. And you're in Tokyo now! My tired, diseased mind swims. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. 'Letting the bitch have it' is not my style. I was as honest and reasonable as my fog allowed. The interesting thing about this film is that, one, it's being made by an interesting director -- he made the good doc 'The Devil and Daniel Johnston' -- and, two, that Laura Albert agreed to be interviewed for it. First time that's happened. We'll see, but the guy has done his research big time, if nothing else. ** Scunnard, I would like to have been a fly on the wall too 'cos I was semi-out-of-it, and I said/came off like ... god knows. Never understood the Dead Milkmen thing. Or I mean the 'why they were supposedly interesting' thing. Daft Punk's 'Discovery' is genius. The rest is varying degrees of pretty good, I think. What do you think? ** Bill, Hi, Bill. Unfortunately I'm not. Feeling better. I have this theory that it must be peaking today. Based on ... nothing. On my sunny side. Yeah, Croatian Amor is very cool. Oh, shit, how was the concert? ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, T. My mind is like the mind of a bifocals-needing guy who isn't wearing his bifocals today, but, even so, those were very beautiful, and I'll find out why when I reread them or more like read them as soon as my mind belongs to me again. Thank you, maestro! ** Sypha, Yeah, I'm sure, re: the high improbability of escaping any circulating illnesses when you work retail. Never heard of 'Gone Home'. It sounds kind of like a throwback to 'Myst' and that era of computer games, which is a very good thing. I loved those kinds of games. I'll go see what I can find out about it Thank you. ** Steevee, Hi. Well, I'm not sure wannabe slaves are particularly constructive thinkers. Then factor in that most of that stuff is fantasy, and there you go. I forget where he was based. I have a bad memory this morning, but I think he might have been based in Israel itself. ** Robert-nyc, Hi, Robert. They were pretty slutty, yeah. If I had my wits about me, I would have said something less prosaic and more like, 'Takes one to know one', ha ha. Cool you're coming to see 'Kindertotenlieder'! I, and Gisele, who's doing the 'talk' thing too, will try to be entertaining or something. Ouch, sorry, about your body pain. I do that kind of thing to myself twice or so year. Really annoying pain. I haven't heard the new Perfume Genius yet, no. I have a certain degree of interest in him, but I haven't gone wild for his stuff, yet anyway. Oh, I'm so sorry about your dad, Robert. Having lost mine a few years ago, yeah, it is a complex thing to go through and to try to understand. Hugs. Very glad you're writing and sending it out too. Sorry for my fuzz. It's nice to see you. ** Kier, Hi, K. Thanks. They were a good batch. Oh, uh, I did have favorite lines, but my brain is too much like toast at the moment to try to recall them. I think the interview went okay. I was pretty zonked and chugging double espressos to stay alert. It was long, like ... many hours long. Like I told David, it seems to be a pretty serious film about the whole JT Leroy thing. Not like that stupid Discovery channel thing earlier this year. I basically said the same stuff I always say about the whole nightmare. I have no idea how I and what I said will be edited and framed by the director. I wish I had not been so fuzzy in the brain pan, that's for sure. That was the only productive thing I did yesterday. The rest was just sickness, surviving and battling. Today is going to suck 'cos my sleep was horrible, but I'll see if I can do something of note in this morass. Yeah, audio book. Trippy. No, I'm not the reader. I have some kind of input or opinion on the reader they choose, but I would suspect my influence there is pretty limited. We'll see. You slept badly too? Hugs, high five, fist bump! How was your day? Did you sleep? I can't sleep during the day except when I'm really, really out of it. So I'm doomed until tomorrow. I suspect. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. If you don't mind, I'll take your hopes and delay them until tomorrow because today is crappy. Ugh, about the political landscape. Use what's going on in Hong Kong as some kind of role model maybe? Stay passionate and committed and strong, pal. ** Etc etc etc, Hi, C. All I know about the audio book thing is that Grove Press has struck some kind of deal with a company called Audible, who do audio books, and the Audible people chose some books from the Grove Press backlist, and 'God Jr.' was one of the chosen books. Thanks about it. I like that novel. It's been under option for the movies by the awesome people who made 'Coraline' and 'ParaNorman' for a few years now, and those things rarely come to fruition, but that would be big and cool if that does happen. Ed Dorn, huh. Um, complicated. I did like his poetry when I was younger. 'Gunslinger' particularly. But he was kind of a really horrible guy who was involved in this nasty thing called 'The AIDS Award' where he and another poet would give 'The AIDS Award' once a year to writers they didn't like. I got the award one year, and a couple of others writers I know got the award, both of whom later died of AIDS. Him doing that kind of colored my opinion of his stuff. But, yeah, he was an interesting poet. The 'interactive chunk of Infinite Jest' is mysterious and interesting. Yeah, curious to hear more about that. Cool. My work is stopped dead by my being ill at the moment, but it'll flow again soon. It has to. I hope the CCM mainline happens soon. ** Postitbreakup, Thanks! ** Misanthrope, I hope you're feeling better. I'm not, but it has to happen sooner or later. Oh, crap, the worst case scenario re: the LPS situation has come to pass. I mean, I don't know, but could you report his violation of the protective order to the police? Is that bad form? Man, that's fucking awful. Let me/us know what happens. Horrible. Hugs and love, man. ** Hyemin K, Hi. Thanks for the kind thoughts. No, I just picked up some sickness that's going around, I think. Surely, I'll start feeling better tomorrow. Surely. ** Jared, Hi, Jared! Thanks, I hope so too. What's the deal on that show you organized? That's very exciting! Give me info or a link to the info or something. Oh, Aki! I love Aki's music, and I kind of know him personally a little. He was in residency here at the Recollects for awhile. I really love his music a lot, and he is a sweetheart. That's very cool. I think the self-recognition leading to therapy thing is really, really good. I think you know I was in heavy therapy at one point, and, even though I still can't figure out how it could have worked, it made a huge difference. Yeah, let me get well and rested, and I'll fill you in, thanks for being interested, A lot has been going on and still is. Things are very good. Great, Jared! It's so cool to have you around! ** Damien Ark, Thanks a lot, Damien! Hugs, kisses right back. ** Okay. What's today? Oh, dead clubs. Uh, yeah, dead clubs. That's the whole story. I'll do my best to improve myself and, by consequence, the p.s by tomorrow. See you then.
