of sharks are scary. So are people in groups of 3 or more who emulate schools of sharks...

Wilbur and HP inc.

as diffuse and fleeting as my fading memory..., 78's, bicycles, (though I, guiltily revel, in, burning fossil-fuel while, listening to, pirate radio, ), losing my car, profuse apologies, being mystified as to the use of commas, to list my, interests, US mail, live people, Halloween, soulful, smartie-pantses-- smarting and pantsed, mapping, social phenomena, in physical space, accidentally, falling in love, with clergy

Trash Houses, Architecture Versus Housing, Middlesex, Diary of a Teenage Girl, Me? Obey You?, Invisible Man, (the Ralph Ellison one), 1982 Jeanie, The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren, White Noise, Geographies of Exclusion

works of jovial hard & soft science: 10000 Fingers of Dr T, Mr T's inspirational, "Be Sombody", &, Night of the Hunter, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, variousFassbinder

right now : exploring the idea of, "version", as it pertains to music produced by, diasporas, Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers, the many many bands/music of: family, friends, estranged friends, xes, Magnetic Fields, Harry Parch, bleep-bloop electronica ( Congotronic!); baby-drowning, ship-sinking, lover-stabbing, heart-breaking, captain's-daughter-fucking folk music

Your Momma's Back Door. Set in Letchworth, a planned city 50kms outside London, circa 1905. This week, "Momma" has been discreetely informed by the postman that the back of her skirt has been tucked into her girdle. Mortified, she ceases her rant, thanks the postman, and goes inside to cry, her tears the only running water in the house.

I've spent a lifetime attempting to cultivate some discipline while simultaniously shirking. This paradox is evidenced in the pairing of my pedantic love of proper syntax, and my complete inability to spell. ( See "haloween" and "villans" as recent examples.)

I attribute all that is not right in the world to a lack of curiosity, and I'm lucky enough to know some very curious characters. Some really nice inspired people-- no joke. Oh, and I've been known to enjoy some truely low-brow TV after all. Star Trek Voyager.... reruns... really enjoyed them. yep.

Well, "friends" is a required field. As a matter of fact, Friendster is a little Fascter in its narrow options for i.d. & intent. Anyway, see illustration.
Maybe I know too many of you crazy fuckers already... Nah, never enough. Music makers, cartographers, flow charters, linguists, libertines, and other adventurers who humble themselves to the mysterious truths in rhythm and pattern; soulful and imaginative geeks with fine tuned aesthetic sensibilities; "villians", tricksters and explorers of illusion; the honest, the self-possessed, the dispossessed; those who laugh at themselves and others; those who seem to have an incredible amount of discipline and focus and inevitably attribute their drive to mental 'illnesses', ... Post cards? I'm quite serious about that. Alice knows. Anyone who wishes to partake in "Flights of fancy, fancy, fancy" through the US post should send me a note w/ address...I'M WAITING!
