nobody loses all the time

nobody loses all the time

i had an uncle named
Sol who was a born failure and
nearly everybody said he should have gone
into vaudeville perhaps because my Uncle Sol could
sing McCann He Was A Diver on Xmas Eve like Hell Itself which
may or may not account for the fact that my Uncle

Sol indulged in that possibly most inexcusable
of all to use a highfalootin phrase
luxuries that is or to
wit farming and be
it needlessly
added

my Uncle Sol's farm
failed because the chickens
ate the vegetables so
my Uncle Sol had a
chicken farm till the
skunks ate the chickens when

my Uncle Sol
had a skunk farm but
the skunks caught cold and
died and so
my Uncle Sol imitated the
skunks in a subtle manner

or by drowning himself in the watertank
but somebody who'd given my Uncle Sol a Victor
Victrola and records while he lived presented to
him upon the auspicious occasion of his decease a
scruptious not to mention splendiferous funeral with
tall boys in black gloves and flowers and everything and
i remember we all cried like the Missouri
when my Uncle Sol's coffin lurched because
somebody pressed a button
(and down went
my Uncle
Sol

and started a worm farm)

-- E. E. Cummings

You know he has one

This is on Jesus' ipod, according to Mark Morford. He has forgotten that Jesus also listens a lot to Joni Mitchell, when he wants to remember what human love can be like.

RIght now I'm listening to

Tanita Tikarams latest album Sentimental. I thought it was OK the first time I heard it. Now I'm listening to it for the 3rd time, and I think it's wonderful! Just as good as Cappuccino Songs. I hope we won't have to wait 7 years for the next album. More about this

"It's Dark in Here"

I am writing these poems
From inside a lion,
And it's rather dark in here.
So please excuse the handwriting
Which may not be too clear.
But this afternoon by the lion's cage
I'm afraid I got too near.
And I'm writing these lines
From inside a lion,
And it's rather dark in here.

-- Shel Silverstein

Glam and movies

Yes, Norways 3rd biggest city has finally got an international film festival! We don't have to go to Tromsø anymore. Though we'll probably still do that, because Tromsø in January is so utterly cool. In every meaning of the word...
Anyway, check out the film fest Kosmorama in Trondheim.

I will at least try to watch five movies.
