There are these days when you have a hard time coming up from the clouds but you do what you can to stay above the sink line, gathering all that you are born to do to deliver and be and give forth the bounty of your given gifts... and then later that day Diamanda Galás kisses your forehead and says :"I fucking like you." and you know that you are ( Read more... )

Hello Livejournal, I haven't been paying much attention to you lately but now that I am away from all the distractions that fall under the category of NON-VIRTUAL LIFE, I thought i'd get back to the business for which this journal was originally created, that is the accounting of my experiences as super art-star jet set vagabond.

It is easy for me to get trapped in my head. It's a labyrinthine place to hang out with as many creepy as cosy corners; it may be frustrating but it is not boring.

Of course i will never learn that you cannot order any sort of mexican themed breakfast anywhere other ( Read more... )

Most days, it rains a little. The other days, it rains a lot. Today there is a vast stretch of sunny break. Fortunate, as there is no web access in my room but a strong and free wireless signal on the sidewalk outside the Hotel Jurine (yes, that does mean Hotel I Urinate in french but i doubt the krauts realize it).
