KHftCEA 1997-07.2 July
I turn off the music and turned on npr so as to not be deafened by my thoughts of r's email 97-7-10 --- boundaries form. Ice, scabs, jello skin, bread crust, relationships. 97-7-11 --- What's the meaning of life? "I can't tell you, but I can dance it" --Woody Allen --- "if time heals all wounds then why do we all have bellybuttons?" belly buttons ARE pretty amazing... 97-7-11 --- CLEVELAND BOUND Something about the smell of a freshly watered lawn... nature's way of telling me I belong in the 'burbs? 97-7-11 --- found that silly jazz cd in the jewelbox for soulcoughing... I'll find that sarah mclaughlin cd yet! last service stop on i90 in ny. I've been here with veronika which also the elvis costello song playing... heading west trying to outrun the sunset...maybe that's the idea behind california? In PA: 1st sign for Cleveland:115 97-7-12 --- looks like cleveland temple has continued its downward slide. What would it take for a revival? Tough to say to myself that these problems aren't my problems. I take back some of that-it was a good summer turnout. 97-7-13 --- visiting grandma and aunt ruth- grandma tells of my elderly grandfather ensisting she have a new car when the old one was still fine- the cosmic-sounding logic of the very old. 97-7-14 --- I want to catch two score fireflies and give them to you idea for a program: firefly simulator / screensaver these people take summer fireflies for granted ..that seems like a sin (yes central ohio has glorious fields full of lightning bugs- I've missed them. I'm somehow surprised they're such a hearty insect.) (...he writes, on the indiglo screen- like jen's glow-in-the-dark fetish) 97-7-14 --- my arms smell of sunblock i like that. why are smells so important to me? 'my hands are now pleasantly scented with lilac and rebekah. i think i'll sleep happy' 97-7-14 --- reading lynne tillman's 'motion sickness'-wish i could write like that. In spain, near the border with portugal, outside the walled ciudad rodrieugo. In the stairway outside a bunch of discos. This one tall woman presides over the stairwell like a queen. She doesn't believe I'm american. English, maybe German even. 97-7-15 --- fight fire with napalm --- my nomination for dumbest innovation in women's accesories: transparent purses --- CLEVELAND JULY 1997 Square peg in a round hole is a sound engineering principle. Easy to drill round holes, effecient to cut square pegs, and once pounded into place it's very sturdy. It's ironic how people misuse it. Went out with Lynn and Mike. Surprised when Mike later described Lynn as his single Gilbert instance. Unsure what to think when Lynn says Marnie's lost a pre-Alex twinkle. I guess I could see what she meant, but I thought it was just wishful thinking. Also from Lynn: Jen 'mono-gal' Monty in Louisiana visiting Mike's CWRU buddy Joe. Hmm. Mike remembers R. as being 'cool' and fun to hang around with- and then later he said the same thing about Veronika. At Cedar Point (the new standup roller coaster Mantis- wheeeee) remembered kissing Veronika with Mike + Maria on the giant ferris wheel. Calling 'time in'/'time out' when the gondola swung in and out of view of other people seems unbearably charming now. 'cedar point-america's roller coast'-heh --- "I want to live like I type- fast, and with lots of mistakes" --- shave and a haircut from Jerry the barber on e200th street Euclid- I feel so pampered... 97-7-18 --- why do I think i'll somehow be able to find an invocation to capture R's heart? 97-7-18 --- we should live in stained glass houses-secrets but no deceptions story image-chairseat pressing into legs- strange looking even on thin women 97-7-19 --- got hours to drive but I just bought a box of cherries from the guy who grew 'em. Life balances out. 97-7-20 --- back east the sun wakes you too early and leaves you in the dark too soon. Grrr. 97-7-20 --- "The only intuitive user interface is a nipple" --- gizmos. I love 'em. 97-7-24 --- |
