Hello ( Read more... )

I'm going back to America in four days, after helping my friend Wif set up a screenprint studio and a Butoh play with Wim, then an absinthe binge with Wib - kidding about the last one. I did go to a mighty show in Antwerp, that ended up in a giant foam bath in a mini-stadium that Scheld'apen built when they thought the city would kick them out to ( Read more... )

My lack of writing here has to do with notebooks: I use them. This just seems to happen, and was not an automatic decision after about 90 books of writing disappeared in a flood, but I'm at least aware that I don't know why I do most things.

Maybe I traded all my past for a life now. All the material evidence of my past life was in the flood and was soaked in 'water' (river and toxic mill sludge), almost 100 notebooks alone, music and books, many photos, though I did take most of the important things - it was a rush, though, with little space, so not all ( Read more... )

Now is still a serious time and will be for a while, with legal papers, intensive language study in my new country and work, along with taking more care with food and living space than before, but I've had some fun and can only get used to this all this, which I've want ( Read more... )
