Wow - 2

I'm shopping this around. I've gotten a good deal of positive feedback from folks in and outside of my job. I'm crossing my fingers that it may get picked up on another show, soon.

Saw the new Harry Potter and the Priz movie today. It's overlong by about a half hour, but it's so splendily cast and moody that the drags are easy to forgive. No surprised, just good fun and a few smiles. Special effects above average and not overblown.

N.E.W.S.

(N)orth (E)ast (W)est (S)outh - covering the four compass points. Or, just the points that can be mapped. To map is to control, to make something possessable. Mapping also makes it easier to ignore the nuances that make this quiddity different from that quiddity. I used to like maps. I am now growing to distrust them. What has been mapped ceases to allow mystery. Mystery is essential. It's not what you say - it's what you don't say. That's the telling.

Sleeping By Chance

Again, fell asleep immediately after work for several hours only to wake up in the middle of the night. The same infomercials are on T.V. The porch light was on for nobody. Does the house really creak the same way in the daylight hours?

My POW-WOW piece airs on ess oh tee tomorrow - http://wunc.org/tsot/ . Colleagues that have heard it seem to like it and think it has merit.

I wonder if I'm related to these guys. On second thought - I hope not. Could be, though, since ancestors of our family settled in the Orange/Allamance area in the mid late 1700s. Not too far a stretch, I wager.


Listened tonight to Phil Manzanera's Dimaond Head. Jeff Robins introduced me to the "Big Day" duet with Brian Eno. I am forever grateful (dead) for that.

There's a mocking bird that I have been watching at work. It roosts upon a solitary light pole near the parking spaces from WUNC and sings a series of copied songs. Good thing nature doesn't have copyright infringement policies. Sometimes a copy is as good as the original.

I can't seem to bring myself to trudge any further through Gar and Pant (see ref below). I think I will put it away for some other lifetime.

I find reading such a chore and a bore anymore. I used to read a considerable amount years ago. I probably read no more than 2 or 3 books a year these days. Don't know why. Lethargy, I suppose.

That is all for now. Y'all come back now, y'hear?
