siberia
everyone with a new yorker's subscription should read ian fraziers "traveis in siberia" parts one and two. the latter portion just came out in the august edition. and if you don't have a subscription to the new yorker, well, shit, what are you waiting for? the post apoc cummeth. its hard to describe the charm of siberia -- well actually, not that hard. the charm is the immense desolation; but i know not why vast expanses of nothing should strike such a chord twixt string o my heart. desolation and adventure; quiet staticity punctuated by breath taking, moments of bachanalian headiness. ah
and when you finish the article, read "tent life in siberia". its cheap, and the full text is on gutenburg and google books.
and while you are at it, watch kurosawa's "dersu uzala"; its a masterpiece, although begrudgingly, i can't say its one of his better works. theres something missing from his direction, but the story is compelling.
i've been reading a lot more. and its pretty heartening, its changing my brain a bit, reverting it back to the way it used to be. Feel as if the last few years have taken a toll, chipping my attention, bifurcating and diverting my thought processes until my mind and will is dissapated. i blame the internet. its is the wyrm of midgard; but, perhaps, i have begun to reclaim some of myself.
the mosquitoes are out in droves. its been a mild summer, i wonder if it will be harsh winter. should i i get slanket?
