p.s. Hey. ** Liquoredgoat, Hi. I agree with you about 'AHX'. Oh, Fairuza Balk, yes! She's great. Whatever happened to her? She's the subject of a bunch of really good gifs, mostly from 'The Craft'. Here's my favorite. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. He's wonderful in 'Pecker', yes. Please link us up to your piece about Holy at the soonest opportunity. ** James, Hi, James. Post-'Pecker', he's quite good in a few films, especially, for me, in Steve Buscemi's interesting but hardly talked about 'Animal Factory'. Glad SF was so good to you. And I hope your voyage north was smooth as silk. ** Bill, Hi, B. No Nick Stahl Day yet, no. Should I? Hm, I'll go look at his credits and think about that one. I can't say that 'Detroit Rock City' is a must-see or anything, no. It's basically a film-shaped love letter to Kiss. I've never given much of a shit about Kiss. EF is quite charming in it, but that's about it as far as I'm concerned. Oh, that new experiment of yours is very dreamy. Everyone, As luck would have it, you get to go see/watch a new experiment by the maestro Bill Hsu today, if you so wisely choose. It's called '3D height map of Gray-Scott Diffusion/Reaction', and it's right, exactly, precisely here. I just put together an upcoming post about guys who make murdering roller coasters in Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, and, although lacking in the sublime and art and etc., a couple of them have a little brother-like visual resemblance to that experiment, sort of. I'm reading that new Brian Oliu book right now. It's really good! ** Tosh Berman, Hi, Tosh, Nice '80s picks. The first Pete Shelley album is great, yeah. And there are a bunch of aces on the second one, 'XL1', too. ** Steevee, Hi. Yeah, 'Beauty Stab' is a lot more interesting to analyze than to listen to. Unfortunately. I hope your eye is less pink and fucked up when you awake today. Or, rather, that it was when you did. ** Magick mike, Hi, Mike! Oh, man, happy to be able to help a little bit. I'll send you my address today. I would so love to get books if you really don't mind sending them over here. How are you, man? ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, T. Yeah, so sad about Holly Woodlawn. She was truly a great. On a quick first read, the EF poem is terrific! I'll scale it from top to bottom with greater intricacy post-p.s. Thank you sharing it, buddy. ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. Totally with you re: 'The Girl With the Patent Leather Face'. Really good to hear that again. I don't know Assemble. I did a quick look at their stuff, and I still don't think I get what they're doing. Which is a good, refreshing thing, of course. Bravo on the more advancing half of your projects! ** Alistair McCartney, Hi, A! I saw the novel completion announcement on FB. Officialdom! I know that post-writing a long project/book mood/energy thing very well. It's an interesting, fruitful energy if you can figure out the right vehicle for it. Maybe your trip is enough. You so should go to Japan, man. I fell totally in love with it as soon as I got there, and now I wait semi-impatiently to go back there between trips. Great day to you! Love, me. ** MANCY, Hi, S. I'm excited to get it. Cool that it sold out so rapidly. Yes, if you don't mind, I would love to get it here. My stupid Paypal account won't let me have things delivered over here. I'll send you my mailing address. Thanks so much! ** Misanthrope, Hi, G. Yeah, I imagined gray hair for sure. That's so incredibly rare to have dark hair at her age. Her follicles should be studied, non-invasively, of course, by researchers or whoever. And she should paid for it, naturally. Oh, geez, those two shitheads, urgh. ** H, Hi. My birthday is January 10th. I got the first buche. There will be others. It was a gift to someone who is currently eating it and says it is delicious, thankfully. It was a buche that was announced too late to have been in my Beauty Pageant. It's a pretty great looking, complicated buche. Let me see if I can find a photo. Hold on. This one. All the toys and decorations and things you see are chocolate, as is the entire box they're in. When you lift up the box, there's a cake underneath. Richard Siken's publisher of the time sent me the galley of 'Crush' and said Richard was a fan of mine and wondered if I would blurb the book. I read it, loved it, and blurbed it. I've never met him or even interacted with him, but I remain an admirer. 'War of The Foxes' is wonderful and one of my favorite poetry books this year too. ** Okay. Uh, the post today happened inside my head and then I made it. See you tomorrow.
