what? oh, nothing. no nevermind.

well, i've got nothing. perhaps when in a breakfast coma one would realize that one shouldn't say anything about anything. back slowly from the keyboard and continue to suck on whatever caffienated beverage is keeping their vitals. well vital. i did not manage to make it to the 9am step aerobics class. this does not bode well for my to'do's for the rest of the day. perhaps i'm ulitmately preparing myself for the heat of the day- or maybe bcs of all the subterfuge that was taking place in my dreams... i need the rest now.

Honey, everyone knows later James is unreadable. 4 words: Portrait of a Lady.

Somebody's Mom said...

Thank you Kurt for saying so. Wings of a Dove has me thinking that I need a translator.

(suddenly i pictured you as a strong black woman kurt, but maybe it's cuz i have kathy griffen on my mind)

...but why later james, when turn of the screw was so wonderful transluscent, well okay, i won't go that far- less than opaque.i don't think i've read that portrait- the one by wilde comes to mind and that other one by joyce about a man- twas a silly book...

(and mom, you need a translator for everything. muahahaha)

Do you know I've never taken one photograph? But I do have some really detailed drawings I need to finish. One of them is of you, Sarah, sitting at your desk. I'm planning to give it to you as a wedding present.

James unfortunately thought he had discovered a whole new kind of writing or way of writing, hence the unreadability (or "the retreat from the reader, the embrace of introversion," as the critic put it) of the later books.

mendacious said...

really!? wow, hmm. that's sort of cool- like f'it. i'm just going to retreat into the verbage of my mind. i suppose it is a different way of viewing literature- after all it is his story- does he need to make it accessible- and then you have people like joyce following up that with things like ulysses or faulkner with sound and fury- it's so concretely from a specific POV and has no mass appeal but in the mind and accesibilty that the character gives it.

How would Jesus feel about you being so ungrateful about your lack of air conditioning?

mendacious said...

usually i think jesus would probably be able to relate- he'd be like M you have no idea. when i was walking around in jerusalem... seriously. do you have any idea- the sand in the toes alone. and i'd be like it's true lord. and we'd nod our heads and commiserate. and then he'd be like, seriously though- you have better things to complain about 24-7. and then before he left i'd say, but lord, i'm grateful for... and then he'd nod his head and say, me too.
