my father

he had to start hiding his car keys whenever i visited LOL

MEANWHILE, IN TOKYO . . .

lol

Last night dear Bex and I got ready . . .

. . . and went to her roommate’s gallery opening, which felt like a million miles away from Southeast London where she lives. It was worth it:

Amazingly, we ran into Brother Jamal:

. . . and felt very glad indeed.

Now I’m at a coffeeshop near her place while she gets ready for her show tonight. She woke up anxious so I gave her a shoulder massage with this on in the background:

(lol)

Anyway . . . if you’re in London and want to see her band play tonight, COME ON DOWN.

I’ll be running around filming everything! And who will be by my side? Nicole the Olivetti Girl and Brother Jamal, of course. If your mind and body can tolerate that much celebrity packed into such a small area . . . well baby, then aloha.

i am in england with bex beneath a bright blue sky . . .

UPDATE:

i took a shower and now i’m glowing in her bedroom while she records in the garage. . .

Nora says this is me (lol):

PLAYBOY: In some of your books—especially The Sirens of Titan and Slaughterhouse-Five—there’s a serious notion that all moments in time exist simultaneously, which implies that the future can’t be changed by an act of will in the present. How does a desire to improve things fit with that?

VONNEGUT: You understand, of course, that everything I say is horseshit.

PLAYBOY: Of course.

david simon, creator of THE WIRE, being interviewed by NPR:

SHAPIRO: OK, so you’ve spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems . . .

SIMON: What?

SHAPIRO: . . . Or saying . . .

SIMON: You imagine that?

SHAPIRO: . . . Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.

SIMON: I don’t think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.

SHAPIRO: But if you’re trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you’re stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.

SIMON: I’d rather put a gun in my mouth.

yesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

BONUS GEGO CONTENT:

The haters are going to have a field day with this one . . .

I’ve been saying this for years (to myself), but today I’m just going to call the thing what it is. I’m going to come out and publicly declare this:

UNLESS LAW ENFORCEMENT IS INVOLVED, PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY IS COWARDICE

Well, it’s true! lol

just found this in my drafts . . . this is what you all think of me!!!
