"Some years ago, while members of an Art Museum
in Memphis, my very artistic 
wife dressed us up for an annual party.
She painted a dress that looked
like “Starry Night”, and I went dressed
as Van Gough, [sp] complete
with a head bandage over a bloody ear.
A color photo of us wound up
in the local paper. Since then,
I have been to the Van Gough [sp] museum in Amsterdam
a few times...well worth the visit,
if your [sp] ever there."

"I watch this show on one of the cable channels
about real ER emergency's...This week
one guy walked in to ER with an ice pick
sticking out of his ear....
He was walking and talking
and finally told the doctor
that he stuck the ice pick in his ear
himself to stop all the voices
in his head but didn't want to take it out
at home as then the demons would be loose in his house
so he went the the emergency room...the xrays were astonishing....
of course after removing the ice pick, he was turned over
to the psych unit....
They get some weird things that go
to emergency room. Several had parasites
that they could feel moving under their skin.
(bot fly larve)
huge maggots."

SAW DREILEBEN WITH J.  AMAZING TRIPTYCH OF FILMS FROM 3 DIFFERENT FILM MAKERS FROM THE BERLIN SCHOOL. SERIOUSLY ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING KINO EXPERIENCES I'VE HAD IN A VERY LONG TIME (ENTER THE VOID EXCLUDING). THEN WENT TO GOOD FRIENDS WHICH IS THE BEST CHINESE I'VE HAD IN BERLIN AND IT'S ALSO A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN EAT FOOD LATE SOMETHING UNCOMMON IN THIS CITY UNFORTUNATELY BUT THE FILMS ARE PROBABLY MORE INTERESTING TO THE REST OF THE WORLD AND THE BEST PART ABOUT THE FILMS WAS THAT THEY RESISTED PSYCHOLOGY FOR MOST OF THEM AND THAT THEY BUILT IT UP IN A 1-3-2 CONSTRUCTION OR MAYBE EVEN A 1/2-3-1/2 CONSTRUCTION. THEY WERE MADE UP OF SUCH DIFFERENT TEXTURES BUT WERE ALL NECESSARY FOR THE UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF ONE ANOTHER. THERE'S A LOT I COULD SAY ABOUT THE LANDSCAPES AND THE ATMOSPHERES BUT REALLY YOU SHOULD JUST GIVE UP ABOUT 5 HOURS OF YOUR LIFE AND WATCH THEM YOURSELF. BERLINALE IST DAS ALLERBESTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE IS A READING AT SAINT GEORGE'S NEXT WEEK

THERE IS AN APARTMENT I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH

THERE IS A BOOK I CAN'T PUT DOWN

THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE WRITING ABOUT

THERE IS THE FACT THAT I HAVE NOT WRITTEN ANYTHING IN WEEKS

THERE IS THE ART SHOW I WROTE SOME WORDS FOR

THERE IS THE FACT THAT THE SECOND TO LAST STATEMENT ISN'T TRUE
THERE IS THE FACT THAT THIS STATEMENT IS CONFUSING

THERE IS BASKET CASE

THERE IS THE SNAKE AND ITS GROWTHS

THERE IS A VIETNAMESE MARKET IN BERLIN WHERE YOU CAN BUY WILD STUFF

THERE IS A THING CALLED TAKING A VACATION WHERE YOU LIVE

THERE IS DERIVE WITH AN ACCENT MARK

THERE IS A CONSTANT REBIRTH OF WALKING
