Occasionally I get lost in things.. really lost. It hasn't happened since I read House of Leaves, and that was in 2001 I think.

During these times the universe becomes nebulous and everything seems to phase out.. and I'm unclear about whether everything becomes strange or rather just is in a very corporally monumental fashion.

It's quite peaceful in its way, with a palpable...

Normally I'm kind of a grump about these kind of things and refuse in a friendly fashion, but since Faye is a sweetheart, I'm making an acception to participating in a silly internet meme wherein I must divulge 20 interesting facts about myself.

One of the greatest things to do in the fair city of Montreal is to bar crawl down the Main (St. Laurent) in search of all the best things life has to offer. One of which is beer.. a lot of beer.

Damn your fucking work

I wanna be a Youngblood

Once again, I'm feeling young and fast and well.

So instead of going to work today, I quit.. and had a...

Where have all the Amazons gone?

Down what modern streets does the one-breasted Penthesilea lurk?

Where are the people that live like volcanos?

I'd sooner lose my own heart's blood than his,
I will not sleep nor rest till from the airs,
Like some rare, bright-hued bird, I've made him plummet
