p.s. Hey. ** _Black_Acrylic, Cool, you’re most welcome, ‘unruliness’, nice! ** Laura, Yeah, I had a little British moment there. Wild that you have relatives that would have watched ‘The Color of Love’. When friends have parents or relatives who even dipped their toes into the avant-garde it boggles my mind. I know guys who are total tops who get turned off when their bottoms are aren’t limp. By the time I’d even heard of Blanchot he was in his total recluse phase, so I would have had to be stalker. Years ago Juliet Landau friended me on Facebook, and she even liked my posts fairly frequently, but then she left Facebook like most people do. She seemed like she was into pretty cool, experimental stuff. Venice is still pretty okay as far I’ve been able to tell. I guess it’s not a bohemian enclave anymore though. No script feedback yet. Very soon, I’m promised. Hug-eroonies. ** kenley, Um, … no, I don’t think I did hear that collab. Moor Mother is so prolific. I’ll go find it, thanks. Why won’t your friend give you that guy’s contact? I would go find him and put in a good word for you. Don’t abandon it! Work your fingers to the bone trying to make it great first. No, I’m weird in that I have some weird inherent confidence in my writing, that I can make it work. Not that I always do make it work by any means. But I never worry that I can’t. Of course that’s been more the case after I started publishing and had a bunch of positive second opinions. You can make it work, I swear. If you could see the shit I used to write along my way you wouldn’t believe that I believed in it, but I illogically did. ** Carsten, I haven’t listened to Ribot in a long time either apart from some of the collaborative things he’s been involved in. But I just downloaded his newest thing to help decide if I want to pony up and see him or not. Weird, storms everywhere except Paris. We’re just fairly cold and a wee bit rainy and stable. Sounds fun, the storms. Easy for me to say. My weekend? I have my biweekly Zoom book/film club in Sunday. Maybe see some art today and watch that new doc ‘Disneyland Handcrafted’, which I’m unsurprisingly dying to see. Probably a trip to After8 where they’re having some kind of sale. Film stuff. That’s my prediction. Enjoy making yours count. ** Steve, No, that was shot pre-Nancy murder. I had a conversation with Malcom McLaren once at this retrospective of his work up to that point at the New Museum back when it was still on Broadway in Soho. He was lively. We had a really interesting talk about how genius Bow Wow Wow were. Those storms you guys have always inevitably seen to end up being ‘disappointments’, so I hope that trend follows for your sake. ** HaRpEr //, I guess I should read Sally Rooney one of these days just to see what the fuck all the rigamarole around her is about. You’re definitely not the first. I’m starting to feel like an antique for not writing fiction on my phone, and certainly for not reading from my phone at events. Whatever works, I guess. Obviously lots of luck with your laptop. ** Steeqhen, Ni. Nice. I’ve had five different people tell me not to see ‘Sentimental Value’ unless I want to suffer. Enjoy the weekend, sir. ** Okay. I thought I would take it easy on you while simultaneously indulging my gif fetish this weekend. See you on Monday.
