to a friend on ICQ, and it’s true. Not metaphorically true, but literally true. “I thought it was Thursday for much of the day today.” To the extent that I had to call a hotel I booked for my mother back and check that I had reserved for Friday and not “tomorrow”.
Song haunting me
at the moment: Deportees as performed by Arlo Guthrie (words by Woodie Guthrie):
The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,
A fireball of lightning, and shook all our hills,
Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says, "They are just deportees"
Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?
To fall like dry leaves to rot on my topsoil
And be known by no name except "deportees"?
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita,
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria;
You won't have your names when you ride the big airplane,
All they will call you will be "deportees"
Holy shit
I appreciate the dot-com company I work for when I read stuff like this article about a failure in Canadian Business magazine. It’s bad though, this whole thing with the stories of doom and stupidity. Many old friends who I don’t see much look at me quizzically when I tell them what I do these days. Of course it doesn’t help that I can barely describe my job.
And while I was
posting that, my friend Andy called me and invited me to the next conundrum press book launch, which will be his first launch of a perfect-bound book (as opposed to a handmade or otherwise bound book). It’s this Wednesday at 9 at Casa del Popolo on St-Laurent near Mont-Royal. Support local art!
I just got this
email from Zeke, proprietor of Zeke’s Gallery:
Paintings by Marcus Hildebrandt
Vernissage: 10/20/2000 19h
L’Exposition continue jusqu’au 11/19/2000
“Friends, we need to talk. Look around – there are goats amongst us. They’ve traveled a long way from Upper Egypt and now they’re grazing at Zeke’s Gallery. Join the herd on October 20th, along with Monavici, Girl Friday, Edmund Fitzcaraldo, amongst others. Have a beer or seventeen – you just may get lucky and take one of them home.” – Marcus Hildebrandt
