p.s. Hey. Today is a warning that Halloween is about to get thick around here. I'll try to keep this place indulgent of your interests and not too hijacked by my self-indulgence. Happy weekend. ** David Ehrenstein, Very interesting behind the scenes on Paul Sharits. I didn't know squat much less about that. A post on him seems mostly definitely in order. Thanks a lot. Steevee, who saw both the European and US versions of 'Enter the Void' said, yeah, it's shorter, but he couldn't tell what was missing, so that's good at least. ** Nb, Hey. Yeah, I read 'AM/PM', which is terrific, and I think this new one by her is even better. Cool you know and like her work. Cool (to me) that you're coming around on Tao. I think liking him makes the brouhaha he causes much more fun and interesting. I'm down for a car rental and spooky house tour. I've begun my annual search for spooky houses re: a blog post and for fetish reasons, and I'll hunt the area around NYC in particular in case. Well, going as Dale Cooper would be affordable at least, right? Suit, hair gel, micro-cassette recorder, cup of coffee, ... Easy as pie, ha ha, basically. ** Empty Frame, Hey, man! Welcome back! Your new digs sound totally amazing. Especially the private tunnel, of course. I'm good, doing almost nothing but chasing my novel to the finish line 24/7, pretty burnt, almost broke, craving nachos, the usual. Blogger is definitely acting weird lately. It's not you. I'm trying to decode its version of normalcy. Casiotone for the Painfully Alone ... don't know what that is. A band? Say more. Excellent to see you, bud. ** Laurabeth, Oh, same boy, oops, sorry. I think my imagination got sucked in between the lines or something. What's the latest? ** Pilgarlic, I've been in Little Five Points. Not in a long time, though. Record shops, health food store, alterna-cafe, band gig flyers, be yourself vibe, tall ceilings, low buildings, ... That's my memory. It's strangely depopulated. Maybe your anecdote explains the blank. Deerhunter + 'Sick City' = some fine viddles, yes. ** L@rstonovich, My complaints about 'Salo' are rich with issues and too lengthy to go into here. But, again, I thought the novel deserved the world and not a pinch, although you're totally right that we're lucky to get what we got. Any new collab tidbits? ** El Caimán Divino, At the moment I need a jeweler as my coach more than Jodorowsky, although, if he's available, then hell yeah. You were a ballet pianist? Wow, that does really nice things to my imagination, but I believe you on the never again. Long story short, what a great idea for a novel. And if that new Aronofsky ballet film 'Black Swan' is any good, which I doubt since I think his work is mostly crap, and if it makes waves or something, which seems likely post 'Wrestler', it could even be a most timely project. Very cool. I'll see what I can sort out on French publishing suggestions. Hm. ** Steve Lafrieniere, Hey, Steve, maestro, god of the very many. Oh, okay. Heck, I'll call the guy right now before I space out. Hold on. Okay, he's shooting me at 5 pm today. All set. Thanks a lot for the alert, Steve. I need alerts. Cool if you can get to NYC to see 'Them'. No, the piece where I DJed was 'Knife/ Tape/ Rope'. 'Them' is a little earlier. It's mostly remembered when it is remembered because Ishmael did a, uh, 'dance' with the cadaver of a dead animal in it. Great to see you, Steve! ** Alan, Hey. Like I said, I don't know Breillat's inner thing well at all apart from what I glean from her work and interviews, but I wouldn't guess she's a Dworkian type in the slightest. I think that was Sotos drawing parallels for himself, but, obviously, I'm guessing and can't speak for anyone. The Blogger problems are theirs and mine. Briefly, they introduced a new editing system -- which they seem to have completely withdrawn within hours, hopefully for good -- and they offered a try out, which I took, but the try out altered the blog's system, and the only way to escape back to the old editing system was to click an indicated 'revert' button, which seems to have been buggy since the reversion emptied everything from my sidebar, and now I, like very many other people who made the mistake of trying out the new editing system, am in the midst of trying to retrieve what was removed somehow if possible, and there's no easy fix available in the settings. ** Killer Luka, Hey! You still in NYC? Might you show the mannequins/ dolls as well as drawings? I guess I would love to see them face their public in a big city way. I know what a Pict is. That should be an interesting costume. ** Kiddiepunk, Hey, M. We both missed the main Ellis event, but he's doing a bunch of other events too. I'll call you. I want to hear how shooting that guy's film went, obviously. Yeah, I have to say I was really disappointed with that Noe/Korine doc for basically the reasons you were. I thought they'd, like, be geniuses together or something and not just do next to nothing while barely in each other's company apart from technically. What a fucking missed opportunity supreme. That's pretty much what I mostly thought. Grr. ** Misanthrope, Oh, ace about the follow up completion funds. You're in or on your way to NYC right now if you're not up late. Shenanigans, please. I'll have to trust you on the Self. Dude's had his share of my brain cells. ** Bill, Cool, another DC's semi-related sale. Ka-ching. Oh, you completely deserve all that meaty input, so my trailer lust can take a breather. ** Changeling, Hey. Maybe I can do a 'Books I've read throughout my entire live and love' post. Yeah, sorry about the cash output aspect of those posts. When I do them, I have this kind of 'books grow on trees' gleam in my eye. Re: your blog, just feel lucky you didn't log in during the few hours when Blogger offered that new editing system that they seem to have withdrawn under threat of mass exodus. Dude, take it from a fan and someone who knows the makings of a great novelist when he sees one. You wouldn't fail. 'Well shod' sounds good enough. What did you practice? That information would seem to hold a clue. ** Steevee, Lil B's spoken/ ambient album? That does sounds fucking weird. ** Lux, Hey, Luxter! Great to see you, natch. That ghost stories post was actually a whole bunch of posts. Okay, dude, you owe me. Find them here: Ghost Story #1, Ghost Story #2, Ghost Story #3, Ghost Story #4, Ghost Story #5, Ghost Story #6, and finally Ghost Story #7. I'm reading 'Imperial Bedrooms' right now in fact. Take care, man. ** Inthemostpeculiarway, Hey. Oh, no, I'm sure it was my eyes that deceived me about who was who. My eyesight slowly erodes during the p.s. I'm hoping to either get the blog working normally or to accidentally wreck it beyond repair this weekend. You wrote a lot! Superb! I really hope you're not getting sick. Yeah, I saw that thing about Katy Perry and the Sesames. It made Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction seem like a boy scout's mom sewing a new merit badge onto his sash or whatever they call those things. My day, uh, was 80% novel work with cigarette and snack breaks. My agent's coming to Paris for a couple of days tonight, and he texted me to give his estimated arrival time. Got a small amount of money, which is a relief, but it's more of a start than a solution. Still, that was good. I got an email from the Recollets saying that due to recent encroachments by the homeless, the front gate's entrance code will be changed on Monday. It rained heavily, and, when it stopped, winter began. That what it feels like. It's suddenly kind of brr outside. When I was walking over to buy cigarettes, a guy looked at me funny, and he mouthed the words 'Homme au Bain', and I mouthed the word 'oui'. I wished there was something sweet to eat in my room, but there wasn't, and it was raining at the time, so I blew off my sweet tooth. Yury came home from work, went jogging, showered, and went off to the birthday party of a guy who used to work with him at Toni & Guy, and he didn't get back until I was asleep. That'll do, for better or worse. I hope you didn't get sick, and I hope you have a good weekend, and I hope to hear all about it. ** Sypha, Feel better, man. Are you? ** Ken Baumann, Yeah, this Sharits guy sounds more interesting all the time. I'll try to do him some kind of justice. Your new HTMLG post re: Mitchell Heisman is fantastic. If you were willing to hold the chicken on those Poquito Mas nachos before you sent them, I would kiss your feet. Seriously, try me. Ha ha ha, dude, those 'The Room' clips, holy shit. Everyone, do you know 'The Room'? If not or if so, know 'The Room' and know it some more (courtesy of Mr. Ken Baumann). ** Brendan, Just don't grow one of those ZZ Top beards that were so hipster earlier this year 'cos I think they're bordering on passe now. Sure, I know 'Purple'. It's inescapable over here. I used to read it when it was smart, and then it turned into an 'edgy' (ooh!) fashion magazine, and I stopped accessing it, but, hm, yeah, that new issue sounds like some kind of turnaround. I'll get it as soon as today. Thanks, knower of all things magazine-related. Fight that cold. ** The Dreadful Flying Glove, That email sounds like one for the ages. Post it or something. Guest-post it here if you like. How did you get to be so interesting? Tell me. ** Okay, that's that. If these animatronic Halloween props don't replace your eyeballs with sparkles, you have no soul. That's what I kind of think. But soul schmoul, right? Have fine weekends, and I'll see you on Monday.
