``Dad?''

``What?'' A small bird rises from a tree in front of us.

``What should I be when I grow up?''

The bird disappears over a far ridge.
I don't know what to say. ``Honest,'' I finally say.

``I mean what kind of a job?''

For three days I was away from home, and with no computer at hand.
Unsurprisingly, when I went back and opened my mailbox, it was full (when I get usually 2 or 3 emails a day... on "normal" days...)
And it was not even junkmail, but REAL messages I had to read carefully and answer...
Fortunately, I also found... somewhere... a small one-liner that made...

Symptmes de ruine. Btiments immenses. Plusieurs, l'un sur l'autre. Des appartements, des chambres, des temples, des galeries, des escaliers, des coecums, des belvdres, des lanternes, des fontaines, des statues... Fissures. Lzardes, humidit provenant d'un rservoir situ prs du ciel.

Dude! I keep a copy of "Le Fleurs de Mal" next to my toilet!
(I wrote that mostly to see the words "dude!" & "Les Fleurs de Mal" in the same sentence, more or less.)

"How shall we kill this old, this long remorse
which writhes continually
& feeds on us as worms upon a corse,
Maggots upon a tree?
How stifle this implacable remorse?

What wine, what drug, what philtre known of man
will drown this ancient foe,
Ruthless & ravenous as a courtesan,
Sure as an ant, & slow?
What wine? what drug? what philtre known of man?"
from the irreperable

Raymond Queneau:

-They used to say, when i was a little boy:
"When you'll be a big boy, you'll see".
I've been a big boy for long now, and I didn't see nuthin'.

Fledonk!
Yeah, the link I gave out on my profile thing is a pdf file, so if you don't have acrobat you can't look at it, also, it's through aol, so it might not connect sometimes seeing as that's so crappy. if you have acrobat, you can try to download that .pdf file and read it in there.
rawr_ima_monster:
hooray indeed. thanks. I'm getting all antsy abotu the fact that there are no more comments on that thread.

Theatrical fragment, from a play by unknown author, late XXth/ early XXIst century, as reconstructed by XXXXth century paleographers from a manuscript unearthed from what was probably the tomb of a princess of the lost kingdom of Virginia:

I guess I'm an underwater thing
I'm liquid running
there's a sea secret in me
it's plain to see it is rising

thanks, eh?
we do what we can to keep from screaming, slipping into a coma, accidentally brushing with hemmorhoid ointment, etc.
(incidentally, wasn't there a [possibly apocryphal] fragment in which Marianne [the Faithful] murders the children of Mick [the Jagger] & flies off in an Audi drawn by Dragons....? maybe I'm thinking of something else...)
rawr_ima_monster:
hi yourself!
thanks for the comment, stop by again, often. I am quicly making friends here, and am amazed by the ease of it all. I can't think of a better compliment than to be compared to Hobbes...I packed away all my friggin books, and now I want to read some C and H RIGHT NOW.

Middle of the night: low clouds everywhere, big dark clouds swallowing the cityscape all around.
The hill my room's window is facing is not here anymore. Instead, something looking like a cargo in the mist. It's the church with all its lights on. It seems to be pitching.

The only other visible thing is the moon.

I'm not in the mood at all... Dinner will sure help: I put maggots in my soup tonight. Then, for dessert: some well-jammed flies. What about your dinner, folks? ... Is your mom warming up old manicotti? or hamburger casserole?

Hello Tororo,

I had a feeling about your cranial scars. I had figured that they would be more obvious in your picture if they were an intentional decoration. Being unfamiliar with the word "trepanning" and unable to discover its meaning at the time I last wrote, I had begun to think that the scars were an interesting metaphor for such facial features as eyes, ears, nose, etc.

Do you really think that people on this site are so focussed on the modification of their bodies? After becoming a member on this site, I did some research into the nomenclature of body piercing. Doing so also brought to light many images of those more extreme modifications that I had only heard of in passing. I would have to say that, by comparison, it would seem that the people I have interacted with are not as "extreme" as that. Conversely, I have no real modification and, thus, by compasrison there are many who are seemingly much more interested. hhmm

Current crush for a book: The Kingdoms of Elfin, by Sylvia Townsend Warner.
It's, like, heroic fantasy.... written as Henry James or Virginia Woolf could have.
I wonder if I'm not in love with Sylvia Townsend Warner. Please, don't be jealous, Suicidegirls: she died in1978, aged 85. What I learned about her by reading the preface of her novel Lolly Willowes (a strange edwardian novel),...

Who? Cuz, if it was me, that makes my day. Of course, if it was Mr. T, then that's nice too.

jose: It was mr. T here's entry, he is the most fantabulous person that ever lived (one of them). But...you're entire journal makes my day, in a way that i will explain the very second i go make an comment on it...which will be RIGHT NOW!

P.S. - Mr T- the college thing is worked out, it looks like. I'll have to take out a loan, but i can go, thank god. I though you should be the first (well, second, i told nick) to know.
