~goodbye to all that~
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Last night in New York as a resident. Friends braved the 102 heat and introduced me to El Quijote, an old-school Spanish place tucked under the Chelsea Hotel thats been serving fresh seafood, tall cocktails, and superb flan since the 1930s.
Tim, Katherine, Harry Smith, William S. Burroughs and Andy Warhol at the Quijote.
Goodbye to all that!
~dragonflies & drag queens~
Sunday, July 4th, 2010Adirondack weekend: shooting stars, calling loons, holding hands with chipmunks. Hunting in bogs for carnivorous plants, not tipping the canoe, costumed cocktail hour on the veranda. Sassy comebacks, deep ponderings, icy lake swims. A rather perfect send-off from the fine state of New York.

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010Temporal Sluts was what it said on the poster outside the ladies room. It was a band flyer, but well describes our current state of mind and being. Above is the chandelier outside Cookies Cream, a hidden, secretish (how secret can you be with a write up in the NYT?) vegetarian restaurant in Mitte where [...]

Monday, April 12th, 2010~bestiarum vocabulum~
Saturday, April 10th, 2010“(Swinburne is) a braggart in matters of vice, who has done everything he could to convince his fellow citizens of his homosexuality and bestiality without being in the slightest degree a homosexual or a bestializer.”
Damn, Oscar Wilde, throw down the decadent gauntlet! Nevermind Wilde himself was derided by Edmond de Goncourt as lifting his poncy [...]
~paperback writer~
Thursday, April 1st, 201075,000 words, 350 pages. That, ladies and gents, is a novel!
We will walk into the sun now, I will buy it a coffee, and begin our new conversation:
is that really what I mean? is that all I have to say on the subject? is there a more lovely way to say it?
It will be longer, [...]
