6.25 in idea barrages

1.) The nightmare about trying to go back to work at APAC out of desperation and then having a nervous breakdown in the cubicle after a week, ripping my own pants off in a fetal ball on the floor, that was a nice touch, subconscious, thanks for that.

2.) Might be in L.A. for a chunk of August. Might be in New York or San Jose for chunks of the fall. Don't know yet. Lotta ins and outs. Lotta threads. Might do a little acting, might help my brother move, might all fall through and I'm just in Little Falls broke the whole time. No goddamned clue.

3.) I kinda want a shirt with a satire of the California flag on it that represents The Morlock Republic.

4.) When Johnny Sue and Reed disappear in the Negative Zone, Ben must hire a governess to help him raise his godson Franklin in THE THING AND I.

5.) There's no high or low culture. We can be inspired by a hamburger wrapper or the Iliad, by Pynchon or a comic book ad. There's only culture.

6.) If I could rescind any recent neologism, it would probably be "emoji". Emoticon was silly enough to start, for heaven's sake.

7.) A parody of "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens" about the actor Michael Chiklis?

8.) Paintings transposing Ronald McDonald into the role of Jesus. Dividing Fish Filets. Spear of Destiny making him bleed fancy ketchup.
