from asarwate, a George Saunders column in the New Yorker. he's the fellow who wrote CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, along with several other very strange and sometimes disturbing books. about halfway through the column, he takes a moment to bitch about music-these-days, and quotes some lyrics...and i laughed out loud, because i swear i heard exactly that

Sort of like chestnuts with little bitty feet and huge noses.

...but chestnuts aren't spiky, are they?
(though i saw some neat variant of chestnut at the DeKalb Co Farmer's Market that were kind of spiky, with two dark horns...)

If chestnuts aren't spiky, tuna comes from a can. :-)

harumph. i don't have chestnut trees. never seen one, that i know of. :)

but yes, in that case, they do look much more like baby hedgehogs.

I was wandering through the streets of New York City recently and I came across a gallery that carries David Roy's pieces. I must say that they are even more impressive in person. I would dearly love to own one at some point.

i'll bet. you should tell me which gallery this is, if you remember -- i should be in NYC sometime around the end of april/beginning of may, and i'd love to see them.

It was somewhere near the far north side of Times Square. Farther north than the Olive Garden. On the south-west corner of an intersection. I can't remember the name though. You can let serendipity guide you.

good enough. :) i can figure it out from there, or just wander...
