Home The room is silent now. I'm back on the other machine, linux. There was a bit of configuration, but it wasn't terrible. It's about 2:30 in the night, January 5th, 2004. I have to find a way to automate... Here's what's in the home directory at the moment: b a cine.blend1 GoogleSearch.wsdl Mail untitled.blend bl cinelerra.html image mod untitled.blend1 blender Desktop image.txt note video blenderplayer eiffel.blend looply.pl notebook zing.mp2.xml cin eiffel.blend1 lynx_bookmarks.html sandy cine.blend fungi mail third.nbk b Too much Ashley MacIsaac this evening - it's his first cd, and hard to discern his future direction - in any case, it's crystal, a bit cold - next day now and going to the doctor shortly. finished Saikaku, reading parts of Dylan Thomas' Quite Early One Morning. As usual not feeling well. Did a piece from spam - it did go through. The more spam avoids filtering, the greater the degree of language experiments. And literal experiments - trying to avoid the filters. This is the new Finnegan's Wake of late capitalism, driven by the marketplace, but internally playful. So a literature is created out of necessity. Of course for it to be literature, it must be read as such (reception theory). This is bleary, exhausted, and goes through all the usual theory channels. And I'm bleary. Spent last night also reconfiguring the Zaurus. It works better than ever. Last night Azure and I married Britney Spears. I originally wrote 'maried' ha - ha. So I'm supposed to review Shaviro, but I don't have the original letter and nothing accompanied the arrival of the book. Still reading Mike Davis' Dead Cities. Everyone seems fascinated by the turn spam has taken - why? [two] Two [home] For one thing it's a process of natural selection - did I already say that? What produces returns, returns. It's a question of identity, not equivalence, the same must return to the same, in which case the mutation is successful. Otherwise the language stretches farther out on a limb, there's always new testing going on. There you are. Here I am. _
