p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Oh, yeah, I got that. I think the headache was from the fact that the syncing seemed to be slightly off, in my head at least. I guess I wish I wouldn't mind if he did some darker or bleaker American classics too. Randy Newman or something. But that's justly my taste, and it was very cool, thank you! Yeah, the American moaning about Roth not winning was the subject of parody over here yesterday. I'd give it to Ashbery, if it was an American, but his work does not translate into other languages well at all, understandably, so I think maybe he'll never get it. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. The (((Echo))) event looks to have been very cool. I hope you had fun. ** Dan, Sure, my great pleasure, of course! ** Steevee, I was trying to figure out if I've read Modiano. I thought I had, but then I have no memory of reading him, so maybe not. I'm going to check him out of course. I asked my friends here about him, and, pretty much to a one, they said the equivalent of, 'Yeah, he's a big deal but I've never read him'. If you read him, let me know what you think. ** Kier, Hi, Kieralooza! Yeah, getting better is cool. Why is there such a wait time between the meeting and you getting the hormones? Just bureaucracy? That's completely ridiculous that they don't like your long hair. Do they live under a rock? A lot of the coolest guys in the world have long hair. Do they not pay attention to music? Or to fashion, or ... ? What a stupid prejudice. Nice day you had. Oh, Jesus, to the slaughter, that's grim and painful. I hate the 'circle of life' or whatever, but yeah. Witch zine! I want one! Can you send it out C.O.D.? Do they still do C.O.D.? My day was really good. Zac is back, and I just spent most of the day with him catching up, pre-planning film editing and our Iceland trip, scanner/printer shopping, and walking around, hanging out. It's crazy how you can do just basic, uneventful things with someone and it's the most exciting and happiest thing in the world, but it doesn't make for interesting reportage, unfortunately. But it was great. I really need to start working/ writing again, and I felt like I will today maybe. Today we finally get the organized footage of our film back and start editing, which should be intensive and tedious but fun too. I got the new Iceage, and I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm excited to. How was Friday on your end of things? ** Thomas Moronic, Hi! ** Misanthrope, Hi, G. Camp is hard to do really well, like ballet or something, I think, but then again it's not my thing especially. Naturally, I think your twink orgy whirling ball of knives is exactly what the Halloween gay parade should be. Yeah, I'm trying to think of a detail to improve upon that idea, but I'm at a loss. Make it happen. ** Rewritedept, Oh, I wasn't bothered by your sick wish at all. Got it. Your night teaching the kiddo to cook was very cool and beautiful to read about, and it made me mightily hungry. Mentoring is a very cool thing. Didion is too risqué, but BEE and I aren't?! Maybe I misunderstood. Anyway, now I really want to go to this vegetarian Indian food place near me today. I might. Nice pic of the happy kid with the glass and food. My day was technically uneventful, I guess, but it was great. I told Kier. I'm not 100% better yet but I'm getting there. Yeah, I was really sick. It was scary. But antibiotics are fucking miracles, man. That Croatian Amor, etc. show was weeks ago. No music imminent. I'll be missing the Paris Pitchfork Festival and the big Kraftwerk concert series 'cos I'll be away. That sucks, although I've seen Kraftwerk and the Pitchfork festival line-up doesn't do much for me apart from Four Tet and Caribou and a couple of others. Oh well. I'm sad Crystal Castles broke up. I'll try for a good Friday, and it should be happening, and you too. ** That's it, I guess. Okay, I made a new horror gif novella for Zac and for you outskirts guys too, and it has a special, subtle, underground Halloween thematic, and, uh, yeah, hope you like it. Until tomorrow.
