"We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality-judiciously, as you will-we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."

Why does this sound familiar?

I hope things are going well for you there!

Are you related to the artist Michael Krajewski?

Oh, that’s a quote from some unnamed aide of George Bush during the Iraq War that seems especially apropos today. People wanted an escape from dull reality when they voted for the current occupant of the Oval Office, and now reality is biting back good and hard.

Yes, we are OK - we isolate well! I had to pick up darling daughter from McGill just before they started really tightening up the border. I stayed overnight in Brossard because I didn’t fell like driving 700 miles and getting back home at 3AM.

I hope you’re doing well too!

Nope, probably not related to Michael Krajewski. It’s kind of funny how common that name is the movers and shakers of Poland. Runs in the “family” I guess 😀

Is that Uccello in your avatar?

[rpkrajewski]

Could be! I took it from the cover of the first Art Of Noise EP.
