idioteque is my favorite song this week
I think he's trying to hypnotize me.....
all summer long I kept finding a new book to read before i was finished with the current one. I was jumping between 5 for awhile there and ive finally started consolidating and finishing them one by one.
It feels strange. for one i usually dont spend so much time with a book, since ive had my attention divided its drawn out all of them for months. And everytime i finish a book there's usually a time period of melancholie reflection on the death of a story, the length of which can be minutes or days depending on the book. Ive been with these stories so long and now they seem to be ending all at once and its kind of overwhelming.
i finished rereading the new revised gunslinger (dark tower 5 comes out november 4th!!!!!!!)
then the revelations of dr modesto by alan harrington, then all tommorrows parties by william gibson, then lullaby by chuck palihnuik, and just yesterday hocus pocus by vonnegut.
and im almost done with american gods by neil gaimen, which ironically i think i started reading first about 3 months ago.
I havent read anything in the last day out of respect for hocus pocus, It left me a little down. The last few vonnegut books ive read ive managed to see the humor in all the darkness throughout the whole book and then it all just kinda catches up with me when it ends.
A Nuclear Fucking Bomb has been dropped on a full on major city, twice.
what?

Have you seen King's column in the back cover of Entertainment Weekly yet? It's pretty damn funny.
Any luck with Friday's?
The book I'm reading is Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. I'd tell you what it is about if I knew. Here's a review: http://www.smallbytes.net/~bobkat/boston.html
My paintings though are of three women who I feel I know even though I've only seen their pictures and read their words in an old, out of print book (Gentleman of Leisure: A Year in the Life of a Pimp). A journalist and a photographer documented the life of a NYC pimp named Silky for one year in 1972. They interviewed and photographed him, his pimp friends and his women. The paintings are based on the photographs from the book and excerpts of the informal interviews the women gave throughout that year. I've been painting them since 2001 and I can't see myself getting bored with Kitty, Linda and Sandy any time in the near future. Obsessed? Of course not!
