p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. I met Ishmael Reed once when I had him read at Beyond Baroque back when I was curating the events there. He was pretty unfriendly and read listlessly and obviously didn't want to be there, so it was disappointing, but it was cool to meet him anyway. I'll check out that book. Quite a title, indeed. I don't know 'Hallelujah the Hills', or I mean I only know it by name. Looking forward to the read. Everyone, if you go here, you'll get to read Mr. Ehrenstein's thoughts on the 1963 film 'Hallelujah the Hills', which, to quote Mr. E quoting Ed Halter in the Village Voice, is 'a be-bopped beatnik riff on Mack Sennett madness, updated for the anything-goes youth counterculture, Adolfas Mekas’s 1963 Hallelujah the Hills provided a homegrown riposte to nouvelle vague zaniness, and became one of the more lighthearted cornerstones of the New American Cinema.' Sounds good, right? ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh. Oh, it's a great novel, and I'm very happy to be its introducer. I also highly recommend my favorite novel of his, 'The Freelance Pallbearer'. Interesting about your soundtracking your writing. I've only done that as a deliberate experiment to alter my writing in reaction to some particular piece or set of music's qualities a few times. I can zone out pretty well, but generally I seem to like to have close to nothingness around me. ** Kier, Oh, never. I'll never call you that. That nickname doesn't suit you at all. Lukas Haas collages! Gimme! Elias has some kind of accent, and I guess it must be Danish, but it's not that strong or anything. Krampus gift cards! LH pocket shrine! Wow, your yesterday bore a ton of exciting things and prospects. Mine was entirely involved in the film editing, as expected. As will be today. Uh, Zac and I laid out a very, very rough edit of the whole 3rd scene, and today we're going to make it a lot less rough, hopefully. It's 25 minutes long at the moment, and it needs to be shorter, maybe a lot shorter, if we can find enough stuff to cut out without fucking the scene up. We've decided the scene needs music, and we have someone in mind to maybe do the music, if he's interested, so we're going to try to get the scene in decent enough shape to show him by later today or by tomorrow and see if he'll be game to score it. Then we'll start the refining and close-editing and polishing before we move on to the next scene we're going edit, which I think will be the 1st scene. Anyway, it was a good day, long but it was a lot of fun. After that I just came home, ate, and gradually crashed. Did your Wednesday bear fruit? Oh, weird, I just yesterday saw a mention of that Johnny Gosch movie for the first time. Strange. And the person who mentioned it, probably on FB, said it very good even. Huh. ** Steevee, Hi. Yeah, I like 'The Terrible Twos' and ' ... Threes', but they don't have the genius zaniness and relentless invention that the early novels do. Certainly a very interesting writer and figure at most times. I don't like his poetry very much, but, otherwise, I think he's always very worth reading. ** Sypha, Hi. Oh, what is that makes those truly long books that you say you need to read need to be read? I mean as opposed to other truly long books you haven't read and don't feel you need to read? If that makes sense. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Wow, I haven't read Kristeva in ages for no good reason. That's cool. So I should check it out, yes? ** Hyemin kim, Hi. Yeah I hate talking in public, but it should be interesting. I'm being interviewed 'on stage', which is a lot easier than just trying to talk at length without prompts. Ooh, that post with Mr. Kitchell sounds very exciting! My week is kind of insanely hectic too, so I totally understand. Very best of luck with yours! ** Keaton, A tail? Intriguing. Complicated? Oh, yeah, I just blabbed that classicist thing off the top my head without giving it proper thought pre-launch. A return to Kandinsky would be a big surprise. Surprises are good, duh. Well, you can get pretty much every single thing you can eat in the US in Paris without too much trouble, so you should be fine, man. And there's always the Hard Rock Cafe. Excellent nachos, as you know I think. ** Misanthrope, Hi, G. Mustaches, yikes. Having lived through the disco/clone era, I have a problem with them. Like I can't see someone with a mustache without thinking, 'That guy thinks there's something wrong with him and thinks a mustache fixes what's wrong with him.' I don't think that's the reaction that guys with mustaches want, but fuck if I know what they want me to think. I never had one, obviously. I had kind of a beard, a very scraggly one, for a while in my late hippie phase, but not for long. You are correct in your analysis of what is making the editing fun. Plus, I think the film is going to be really good, and it's cool to see that happening bit by bit and everything. ** GucciCODYprada, Cody! I've been thinking about you a ton and wondering how you are. Back in India, hot India. It's freezing cold here finally. Chef! Western food meaning, like, hamburgers and pasta and burritos and stuff? I'm reading your book, and I'm loving it. It's going slow 'cos Zac and I are in the middle of a marathon editing session on our film due to the fact that it has to be finished soon -- it's always something, I know -- but I'm making fairly good progress and digging the hell out of it, man! Oh, yeah, the Andy Stott album is awesome. I like it a lot. Lots of love back to you, and I'm so happy to see you! ** Okay. Something got into me, and I thought ye olde Christ should have a berth here, and that thing up there was the only way I could think to represent him according to my own lack of belief in his existence and lack of interest in his effect. Check it out! See you tomorrow.
