“I’m trying to be unfamiliar with what I do.” - John Cage
-Say something ! -No you ! - No you ! It's your turn, I wrote it. You read it. - Do I have to ? -No. Do what you like. - I don't like your writing anyway. - Me either but what an I do? -Change your name. -I already did. - You're not Gruntle ? -Of course i'm Gruntle. The whole family. That changes nothing. How does one get out of one's head ? That's the question. -I'd think the object would be to get further in. -In or out, all the same. -How long is this going to keep going ? -We'd better stop here.
The usual farrago of poli-sci and culture, drunkenness if not drinking (no wine adverts or reccos), updated and amended articles cos I never stop tinkering. Makes me feel like a tradesman of yore. Bad habit.
Mona Lisas I
and II
have both stepped out from behind the pay wall so freeloaders can be up on the latest old news. Part III coming, along with a note on the most recent Baudelaire piece. Thought I was coming to France for Rabelais and Celine, got my ankle caught by Baudelaire and Colette and the politicians who, I assure you, may dress better than the ones where you are, but descend from the identical family lineage. Keep the aspidistra flying, lads !
