Decay

I'm currently living in the little village that became worldfamous- at least in Flanders_ because of the priest whom in order to pay for his little sexorgies, stole golden chalices from the church and conned some of his churchmembers. His reaction to the journalists? "It's nobodies concern with whom I have sex." , "What a fuss for so little."and " Compare me with the naughty boy from the class."

Dear Oscar Wilde, I coincidentally find myself in the hotel you were arrested for "acts of gross indecency with another male." You once said, "We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities." This was 100 years ago. In light of Arnon Grunberg's entry of today, would you agree it's fair to say that - except for the risk of being arrested for fellatio - time hardly changes anything?

Well, as long as you don not make a problem of it for yourself?:)

Josiane,

Thanks for you email.

Proust will indeed be reading along - now you mentioned lepidoptera, Nabokov will be too.

Have you made an important catch?

Funny to came up with Zen meditation. My parent does it every single morning preventing me to sleep a rump in the day by some lugubrious vibrations. (I have reached the bad thesis all religious expressions are one way or the other just ritual games played to wilfully keep others from sleeping - the stick hitters.)

But practising Zen with you on some Fuji mount, surrounded by yellow buttercups and far away from dentists, might be like fun.

(I personally hate dentists since my last four morale's were removed for no reason other then to purloin my boy hood - I might even sue them!)

- Please do mention a blog where to parasitize along together.

This morning I had two lattes overlooking a bunch of kids in tiny sail boats. When I asked for the bill the waitress announced: "You talk to soft " - leaving me numb.

p.s. The diagonal of Nabokov's book Butterflies is approximately two centimeters longer than either one of my feet.

The long ride downhill

Being on the road to nowhere does not mean you are doomed. It means you are doomed unless you take a turn.

In fact Mr Krugman is pleading for a sharp turn. Many people hoped that Obama would make that turn. Instead he seems reluctant or unable to take the wheel. So the US just goes on cruising down that long road downhill that Ronald Reagan set it on.

@Carlos
Isnt Obama doing more in this respect then former presidents did? The healthcare change f.e., using parts of the dutch model....

Btw: with 'you' in my other post i mean you in general of cource. Although being it your own problem is only part of this as well o.c.

The word 'decadence' makes me think more of extravagant spending of money then moral decay btw....

Good,went to see some unpolished trapezists flying through the air,while we were lying in some beachchairs.A good combination.Inspiring,I think about going also three dimensional .
People should be listening better or stand closer,it would solve all the problems,from here to America.

@Milan

Spelling actually was the hardest problem too conquer (overcome) in getting my two master degrees at the university.

always the same words f.e. of courCe ... as if you wanna say something with it

I just discovered that Our Uncle will be published in Germany in October. Are you satisfied with the German title? ("Mitgenommen")

What 's the name of the ballet? I've seen it before but I can't remember the name of the group and what piece.

Juliane

I like the German title.
I trust my German translator and my German publisher.
