The eye’s plain version is a thing apart, The vulgate of experience. Of this, A few words, an and yet, and yet, and yet— As part of the never-ending meditation, Part of the question that is a giant himself: Of what is this house composed if not of the sun, These houses, these difficult objects, dilapidate Appearances of what appearances, Words, lines, not meanings, not communications, Dark...

The French Playwright Alfred Jarry invented time travel in 1900 and was immediately killed by an active group of non-practicing Ghostmodernists while a rival group simultaneously traveled back in time to prevent the murder from taking place. This is the first documented occurrence of Ghostmodern Paradox Design, and the launching point of an atemporal crusade that history would eventually never...

I painted once an actress, her eyes were grey and green. She only gave me part of her, the rest she left for screen.
I painted once a seamstres, her eyes demurely cast. But as the day washed into night, they opened wide at last.
I painted once a singer, my brush in hand and eyes shut tight. Her face much less important than the voice I heard all night.
I painted once a painter, her eyes were...

The newest movie to break my god damn heart into a million god damn pieces.
Inaugurating
Jim: I just realized that I accidentally made a first date on election night. And not in the "political bloggers in love" kind of way. In the accidental way.
Jules: On inauguration night? or ten weeks ago on election night?
Jim: Ah, right. Inauguration. Although to be fair, bringing in this new administration with a first date is defnitely change I can believe in.
Jules: I'll resist the inevitable "stimulus package" joke.
“This just in: We’re going to DC for ObamaGras. Sunday-Thursday. Get in touch...”

A Kinks record normally reserved for pop Sunday mornings clumsily scratches its way through broken windows while quietly San Francisco blues and greens its wayto afternoon and the wood slats scratch my feet coldly comforting something real something worn, one less something removed if only for a second surrounded by lonely Juliet balconies and their hiterhing courtyards. Unions necessitated by...
Kingsley Amis' Daily Routine
INTERVIEWER: Do you have a daily routine?
AMIS: Yes. I don’t get up very early. I linger over breakfast reading the papers, telling myself hypocritically that I’ve got to keep with what’s going on, but really staving off the dreadful time when I have to go to the typewriter. That’s probably about ten-thirty, still in pajamas and dressing gown. And the agreement I have with myself is that I can...

Jim: Man, there are a couple new arch blogs that are really fucking good. I need to up my game a little, I think.
Jane: Nice. Your'e on it
Jim: Sort of. I'm not as academic as a lot of these guys. but maybe thats a good thing? Anyway, they're probably not getting traffic from clive owen fan sites and fetish forums.
Jane: Right.

Waiting for Godot for kids. (Need I say more? Oh, ok…)
A country house. A tree.
evening.
Two kids, V & E (Valentine and Ender?), are up late waiting for Santa. As they get increasingly more tired, their conversation makes less and less sense until they inadvertently articulate tragic existential truths. Needless to say, Santa never comes.
It’s not even Christmas.
