"If only I could see you turn myself to me..."

I was awake before seven a.m., but...I was in bed by 11:30 p.m. This whole getting up early thing is weird, after years of being so nocturnal, but it might not be a bad thing. Just weird

The Searchers has been on my mind a lot lately, I might need to watch it again soon, too.

Great photo. I love all the wildlife photos you're getting now.

I was curious as to if you were familiar with the work of Renée Vivien. Snuggly Books issued a new translation of some of her work recently (a slim volume entitled "Lilith's Legacy: Prose Poems and Short Stories"), and as I've been reading it I've been wondering if maybe it would be something you'd dig. The biographical blurb at the very start of the book makes her sound like someone straight out of a Baudelaire poem (a neurotic, anorexic, alcoholic, suicidal lesbian doomed to self-destruction), and her somewhat death-obsessed Symbolist-inspired prose is quite in line with the Decadents. I just bring this up become some of her themes and obsessions remind me of your own work a little: doomed romances, mythological references (mainly Greek), a fixation on the ocean... some of the story titles give a clue as to what to expect: "Lilith," "To the Perverse Ophelia," "The Song of the Sirens," "The She-Wolf Lady," and so forth.

Thank you for cross-posting the quotes from Facebook, especially the Robbe-Grillet. It is brilliant, and I adore the concept of transitory sense. Although I know myself well enough to foresee I may return to it eventually, I believe my (FB) account may be past the point of no return deletion by now.

I cannot help but find it interesting to learn about people's creative processes. Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your own.
