in response to I Want To Eat Your Brain

in response to Cagthorpe

kc: I see what you mean about the postcard feeling...thinking about vintage U.S. photo postcards, bright and frozen at the same time. so much space in the pictures...

in response to Cagthorpe

kc: moon schnoz looks kind of like a fried egg....makes my mind wander to frying an egg on the sidewalk, but that's the sun....

in response to Ghost Moon

in response to Washington Avenue, Prospect Heights

elaine: suits the subject perfectly - 'hillo, this is britain. everything is marvellous, rilly it is. as long as we all buckle down and show no emotion' - specially the second one, it could be one of those post cards you used to be able to get

in response to Cagthorpe

elaine: you are welcome. i have been running the idea of me having a goose past my friends, they all seem to think it is a crap idea (literally, but who needs carpets?) but a duck would be as good, see the thing is you wouldn't need a lead, they would...

in response to hackney city farm

Jamie: Fuck a duck! thankyou elaine for my birthday bird. I didn't see it on my birthday, but it sure is a lovely duck. I'd sure like to own a duck like that one day. I'd take him/her out for walks long the promenade. Thats my dream.

in response to projects, against a beautiful sky

Lili: Anusha, how amazing, how wonderful, to know of him hearing the choir sing. I feel he may hear it now - no blueprints - or "blueprints" as we usually refer to them. Have you ever heard of Hildegrad Von Bingen ?

in response to Don Justo\'s Self Built Cathedral

Lili: Stillness in Motion.

in response to col378 col377 col371

jeeff: i've seen photos of the lake in winter - really fantastic. i'm sad to add to your report that lake ontario is pretty toxic as well. most of our beaches are perpetually closed due to high bacteria counts, and the water just doesn't smell good even where you...
