delusion

Thanks for the nice words. I think TS is so dense that Id really have to study it to get it all. So much of the symbolism is really obscure. Id never seen poetry with footnotes before. Nevertheless, I loved wasteland and 4 quartets. And TS can be fun too like the hippopotamus and the book of practical cats. My high school did a production of cats (I was skimbleshanks ). I intended to read his plays and essays, but I only got through the cocktail party which became a favorite.

Swiss airlines really makes the twelve hour flight more bearable. They have video screens on the back of the seat in front of you and you can select from a number of movies, cartoons and documentaries. Last time I watched a couple of documentaries on Edvard Munchs life and the making of the scream. There was also one about the theft of the scream and the operations that led to its recovery. Pretty neato.

Ive enjoyed your journal writing. Ive had a zine project on the back burner for years now. My friend has probably forgotten that this is still on his website (the info is totally out of date). But Im done with school (FOREVER!) in June and can finally write and read whatever I want! Ive set aside my tax returns for printing and such, so it may actually happen this time. In any case, I hope youll send me some writing. If you ditch the scene, put me on your AIM and say hi (do so regardless).

Best, E
