• What better time to fly to Michigan then dead of winter, tomorrow even?
• I get my giftmas present from Planet, dinner at Seva, tomorrow night!
• We're meeting a real estate agent and looking at three houses tomorrow afternoon, I'm told!
• Where these houses are in Michigan there is not a hill in two hundred fucking miles
• My daughter won't be my age in 2052, we are ruled by sociopaths, world be gone
• Purist democrat me, honoring losing 2-1 in honest elections against insurmountable odds

• Nothing soon, is exploratory, my two who always out-vote me say
• Tweeted yesterday re: Hilltop don't do no scheduled maintenance
• sign of Hilltop's incompetence they haven't bought my ass out
• Buy me out, please, even if it means I move to Michigan
• This is why I can't use blogger as digital notebook no matter how much copy/pasting digital notebooks to blogger sucks, but at least I didn't talk about two of my coworkers here

THE WOUND

Franz Wright

You Had to Work Hard All Your Life to Achieve It, a Power Over You Steadily Increasing in Direct Proportion to Disbelief In It

• Normalizing hostility in the Clusterfuck.
• Re: the photo in the above link - I walk at lunch, all around Georgetown, two homeless men working, both on west side of Wisconsin at M, one north side of M, other south, the shit they get instead of the coins and singles in your pockets, the fuck is wrong with people.
• Revolts do not have reasons; they do however have a logic: Rancière on Gilets Jaunes.
• Is a translation, but if the above quote means what I think its what I've been trying to say about Triskelions and failed each time.
• Why end Omar's career.
• DC will be Dallas when Planet is 45.
• Nobody wants Venezuelan Oil.
• Econ PhD students, the fucks, I can vouch.
• Another Murnane review. Feldman now in solitary confinement, I am completely without gah to finish Elkin's Bad Man, the fuck is wrong with me.
• Judith sees the head of a lion.
• This.
• Hey, it's Peter Gabriel's birthday, I think of his music all the time.

THE PROBLEM

Franz Wright

Pretty soon you won't be doing that to get high.

You'll be doing it to get dressed.

Your time-traveler seminar will be meeting in room 250
                      Tuesday three years ago.

Eine Kleine Death Music.

You're fired, actually.

You weren't born that way.

And it didn't happen overnight, no, you had to work hard all
                       your life to achieve it;

a power over you steadily increasing in direct proportion to
                       disbelief in it,

to the very evident fulfillment of your greatest fear:

you're going to live. When you wanted to quit

you could not, and when you could - 

When you could you weren't about to.
