Coming from you, someone who has some taste and knows what he is talking about, the compliments mean alot. My thanks. I hae heard the name, and think there were bits and pieces of a book or short written work I read once in a comp, but have never read an entire piece. I will fix this shortly, thanks for the heads up.


I went to France when I was 16 as part of the school French club summer trip. I would love to go back with a little world seasoning, clearer thoughts, and a keener eye for the artistic side of life and see just how great it would seem to me now. I was floored last time, it might make me perish now.

Color me extremely jealous.

I hope Paris recharges and re-energizes you for your summer and projects ahead... I feel guilty for not catching your last post. Things for me have been busy enough for me to cast a wistful eye at my computer as I run, full-steam and half-dressed, out the door.

This week marks the stretch of time that I would've found myself overseas. Granted, not in France but for someone who's never travelled out of the country, anywhere is better than nowhere. Many wishes for a wonderful time and a safe return.

PLease excuse my spelling mistake. I meant aria.

Ahhhh Paris. I lived there for a stint and worked in a bar called Le Chabou in the Bastille area on Rue de la Roquette (my french is atrocious as well as my spelling...excuse). If you are there swing by and tell JB that Carla from the states says hi...or don't cause you don't know me from a hole in that bar.....Great movie houses....coffee...bridges (the bridge d'art)....rodin....eastern european music representation...African Ragga music representation....and on and on....fantastic fluff...enjoy your stay

oh, we were outta control. it was just wonderful.

any time you can laugh hard enough to give yourelf a headache perfectly sober, and have pics of the incident? that's a win-win situation.

First I would like to say thank you for looking that up. I might have to look into it a bit more. Not to toot my own horn, but much of that seems spot on. Perhaps the truth IS in the stars?

And I am a Browns fan. Heh, go figure. The team the Broncos kept out of the Superbowl two years in a row. Don't worry, I dont hate you, just your choice in teams. I can understand though, I have been to Mile High, and there is a mystique there that many just cant understand when they think of sports; a sense of pride, community, being a part of something bigger in a better way. Most people just see in men in tights hitting other men in tights. Their loss.

I'm not a huge 4th fan. Don't get me wrong, I love my country, but the day has lost it's meaning to most. Not that we kicked England's ass but of freedom and all that come's with it. Now it is just a alcohol and firework centered "holiday"

I dont hate you USA, I just how they are running you.

I like your idea about the full moon. I will bring it into practice. In fact, I'm going one step further and celebrating my menstrual periods too. They've gotta count for something!

I think HD's got something. If you try to kiss her and it doesn't work, well you've got a friend still likely. I would. You are obviously smitten with her.

Sounds like a lovely day.

OH MY GOODNESS. BL's a lucky kitten. And aren't you the busy boy! Good-o.

I've been a bad email pal...still trying to master juggling (sigh).

I need to check out that Frey book, too. Goodness. It sounds like one of those life-altering deals.

"(All these writers and thinkers are ultimately saying the same thing because there is only one thing to say.)" You are the first academician I've ever encountered who's ever said such a thing. I am SO GLAD you wrote that!!!!

For this reason (and several others), I will gladly be your concubine. (sigh, flutter, repeat)

Would've liked to have seen a pic of you all mohawk'ed out. (Faux-hawk'ed?)

Losing everything to find it...YES. Yes indeed. I know that tune. It's romantic. Bittersweet.... The stuff of fantastic art...

Excellent...one picture is certainly better than no pictures at all! My usual places of hiding are similar to yours: libraries (two within walking distance & the dues have been cleared up ), cinemas (three within five miles) and the most dangerous being...used bookstores! All sense of control nearly gets pitched out the window save money for coffee.

I wish to restore your faith in me. I have a lot of favorite actresses. Jill was the only one I had a quick picture of and while she look like a hollywood robot, she is slightly left of center and by hollywoods standards not that good of an actress. But, my all time favorite is Gena Rowlands. Again, slightly off center, but real in a very unreal sort of way. Have you seen any of her work? Particulally with her husband John Casavettes?

My father used to design communications systems for airports. We lived all over. I went to boarding school in India, paid for my by dad's company. Odd situation, all rich kids and diplomats' kids, and minor royalty. My sister and I stuck out quite dramatically.

My mom? Ah. She's still about, considerably older than me. We're very similar in many ways, perhaps that's the source of the friction. I despise her passive aggressive ways and the fact she has the emotional age of a 10 year old and throws tantrums. She's a strong woman, survivor of the Depression, abuse, family drama. I admire her and love her generous heart. So yeah, it's love-hate. We've had some pretty close moments over the years and some pretty horrible ones too. What can I say, family.

And who is this Atsuko? Sounds very exotic and intelligent. Please share.

Yeah, that li'l survey spread through the circle of friends like wildfire... I put mine up as penance for avoiding obnoxious e-mail surveys that folk send my way. I usually need another one of those like I need an e-mail full of lawyer jokes. Edited to add that drummer and guitarist jokes are still priceless!
