Up at 3:55 am. Damn I want to go home! Today, I will do a dry run: Duroc Metro to Gare Montparnesse, in preparation to Monday’s mad 6am dash. M. Devaille is to come over at 6am to give me back some of my deposit. Which makes me really worth mugging. Le sigh More of [...]

Book of Dia

I smoothed out about the first 10K of the Book of Dia. I am hampered by the fact that not one but both thumbs are TRIGGER thumbs. They will or won’t hit the right keys and the space bar is now a wild card. You should see my handwriting! And the right thumb hurts like [...]

I’m in Paris! Yea! It’s kinda cold, but the Parisians are not nuts, like the British. Jeez, it’s just nature! Writing poems, working on plays and a very stranger screenplay. Plus I’ve edited Book of Dia down to fighting weight. 17K It’s Ginger’s birthday! This is the courtyard outside my apartment!
Finally sold (for .99) that multi-volume of 33-1/3 called April in Paris. I bid like crazy, over $22.00 as I recall, only to realize that they were lps, not dvds. That, in a nutshell, is illustrative of my mania. ETA: And the shit hasn’t paid for it, 5 days later. Figures. It’s cursed.
Told her my new plan, of staying here in Vancouver until I lose weight, don’t hurt when I walk (my biggest pain, not my breathing but the pain in my haunches, from the osteo-arthritis), climb stairs and generally do the major work I’ve avoided all my life. Or die. Planning to go to Paris in [...]
Highly recommended, because I love Cara Black (I haven’t finished all of hers). Her first five books about Inspector Adamsberg have been translated. Her titles are très dramatique! Chalk Circle Man Seeking Whom He May Devour Have Mercy on Us All Wash this Blood Clean from My Hand (!) This Night’s Foul Work Excerpts here. [...]
to say. Which is probably what drives me to mania. I am having rough times on ebay. I have to get rid of these stones and stuff, but they’re only fetching $.99 for a huge lot of them. At least I’ll get postage. Tax season, stupid to sell now. I once low balled a necklace [...]
I got my new new A Working Writer’s Daily Planner 2010. I have been adding Pics of Paris. Paris in May. I also have a “theme” for next year: Do One Thing Well. I take on too many projects and complete none. First up, starting this December, finish Snaketown.
Sorry. My brother died on the 11th. I thought I’d beat him. Lord knows there were moments months whole chunks of time during which I tried. Always something stopped me. Rick was sick. I never thought he’d die. Truly. He was tough, mean sometimes. He beat life up and stood steadfast for more. And then [...]
