p.s. Hey. ** Math Tinder, Nice. ** Cobaltfram, Well, ditto, dude. Mm, I've never thought of Boulez in relationship to R-G, no, but the point of comparison doesn't seem crazy or offbase, so I'll dwell on it, thanks, cool. I put 'Infinite Jest' among the best novels published in my lifetime, so I guess that's an opinion for you. The whole world has daylight savings time, doesn't it? I don't know, it's because of the earth's weird revolutions or something, isn't it? I don't know. I don't mind it. I like the changing of when the sun and the dark arrive. It renews or tweaks everything or something. My health seems to be finally getting tolerable again as of yesterday, fingers crossed, and thank you for asking. And yours? ** David Ehrenstein, Morning, sir. ** Tender prey, Hey, Marc! Thank you, thank you. Yeah, to great to see you guys! I'm going to call you as soon as I finish this. I got your message yesterday, but not til late 'cos I was out seeing the new Malick. Thanks for preview on the PdT show. Yeah, I think Zac and are going to try to go this week if poss., and I'll keep my anticipation for the maze piece focused on this mysterious element. If you're at the d'Orsay, I hope it's feeding you, and I guess I'll find out voice to voice shortly. ** xTx, Hi, pal! Yeah, something will come of it, I guess, I just don't know what yet. There's stuff there, and i just needs to be breathed differently into life or something. Thank you a lot for sending one to Joel. It should get there okay. It's just France's very strange appetite for foreign mail that screws things up sometimes, grr. Lots of love! ** _Black_Acrylic, Hi, Ben. I've got my eye out of that issue, and I think I'll be in reach of a friendly shop today or tomorrow. Excellent 'Annie' there! ** Chilly Jay Chill, Thank you, Jeff! Sorry to hear that you're all drained. Okay, cool on the Kiarostami. I think I missed its French run, but I'll get a download or DVD. Hunh, that's not good about the Flaming Lips thing. Hm. I'll try it, though. I saw the new Malick yesterday. I thought it was incredible and exquisite. It didn't wrench me emotionally like 'ToF' did, but it's not that kind of film. Malick is doing even more of the fast shots and quick cutting that he was doing in 'ToL', but constantly. I thought it was just mesmerizing and very moving a lot of the time. Obviously, I highly recommend it. I'm going to go see it again asap. Might see the Korine this week, if the time is friendly. That's a plan anyway. Oh, no, so sad about Blaster Al Ackerman. Oh, that's really sad. RIP. ** Positbreakup, That's the spirit! How's everything, Josh? ** Todd!, Hello there, Todd!, and welcome to here. Okay, I'll go check out that site/page when I get done here. Thanks a lot! ** Steevee, Yes, please give the word when the Slate piece is up, and the words on its construction and editing too. Cool. ** Misanthrope, No more youtube problems than usual on my end anyway. I'll try the Suede single, thank you. Yep, yep, get rid of that shit. You'll feel so much better, man. You'll start enjoying walking so much that you'll stand in line waiting to walk like it's a theme park ride. Didn't get a double post, so, hm. That's a nice poem you've got started there, man. It hits a bunch of great marks at the same time. Sweet. ** Sypha, Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, James. Something's got to give. Well, at least you're being very productive on the writing and producing front. When I'm sick, I can't do shit and have no interest in doing shit, so something is bettering you somewhere inside. ** Statictick, Yeah, it had a cathartic or ironically cathartic effect on me, so I thought I would share. Well, that's good that there's no sign of epilepsy, right? Or would you prefer that answer to your body's questions rather than this big mystery? Never have seen Franco's 'Justine', I don't think. I think I heard meh about it, but I don't remember really. Could be fun. Franco + Sade has a theoretical charm offensive. Feel ever and ever better, N. ** Un Cœur Blanc, Hi! I started feeling better yesterday, so hopefully that'll continue. My friend Zac came back to town, and he always has a curative effect, and seeing the new Terrence Malick film no doubt helped a lot too. And I'll bet your vibe had a big part as well. I'm glad you're feeling good! Interesting: what you read. Yeah, sensible, I think, hm. But then your counterpoint makes much sense too. Curious. Well, he was shouting at the air, but I think the air was himself, and I think the shout was love, so I'm not sure. Love you too! ** Starlon H, Hey! How really, really nice to see you! It goes good here, other than some bad health of late that is hopefully trundling off somewhere. Thank you about 'Closer'. Aw, well, I can't speak for Bret's book, but mine's ass is prime to be kicked, and I think you're just the guy to do it, so please do. ** Armando, Hi, A! Thank you, man. Yeah, it had a kind of nice 'wipe the slate clean' quality about it, no? You have a good day too! ** Right. On to the next blog thing. A thing of self-explanatory thingness, I think, I don't know. I will see you tomorrow.
