It kind of sounds like I know too much about this stuff. The internet and Krafft-Ebbing are to blame.


Mr. Mudede (Zoo) lives down the hall from me, and I've yet to see his movie. Perhaps I'll do that over the holidays.

Maybe.

Wat? Seriously? You live next to the writer of Zoo?!

It sounds like a good film, from the user reviews, but it's probably not one that would evoke the spirit of Christmas. I'd give it a miss till the New Year if I was you. Maybe if they'd liked reindeer things would be different, but it seems to have been horses all the way. This film does not sound like it would be good viewing over the festive season.

Yes, his children, regularly and with great force, kick their soccer ball into either my front door or my artwork that I've hung in the hallway. It's the only critique I've ever gotten from him. I kinda hope he keeps adding to his resume as a film writer so I can sell the juicier bits I know about him to a tabloid.

It's either that, or Shutter Island, then I have the season 2 finale of True Blood that just arrived from Netflix. The season's just a big trigger festival and a load of depression awaiting, I tell you!

Hope you have some merriment planned Ahab, and please post any entertaining misadventures. I shall do the same.

Tonight, I am going to the pub. Then tommorrow, I am going to the pub. And tommorrow, and tommorrow, and tommorrow...

My intention is to get drunk and talk nonsense for hours on end. Then when I get home, I'll probably sign in here and do the same again.

For bringing in the New Year, I thought a secure rehab facility of some kind might be appropriate, just for a change of pace and setting.

That's kind of an indirect way of responding to an artwork, but it's not necessarily bad. Maybe he believes that the only proper response to an artwork is another artwork, and so he has resorted to performing a prolonged extemperaneous performance piece of his own devising? Maybe his kids represent the youthful enthusiasm your paintings evoke in his heart, and the loud, arrythmic thumping of the football is a way of expressing...

Nah, he sounds like a bit of a dick.

Sorry to hear that. I forget that Christmas is a very difficult time for a lot of people, for reasons other than the more mundane and obvious ones. I'll be thinking of you. That sounds creepy. I mean... I mean, take care of yourself, and try to have a good one. True Blood's too over the top to be really upsetting, innit? Haven't seen Shutter Island yet. But all the best to you.
