All identities are only simulated, produced as an optical "effect" by the more profound game of difference and repetition. i have a hard time with clients in vegas because my father lives there and knows 90% of the city. one of his best friends works for a group that owns one third of the strip so when i have a booking in vegas i have to make sure it doesn’t happen in one of those hotels. he thinks i’m a personal stylist. i’m supposed to travel across the country and advise rich men on how to dress. i hate lying but you get better as you get older. one client once told me that a big lie is the easiest defensive position. i never wanted to do anything like my father but it’s funny, that’s exactly what i’ve ended up… Read More...

"The conjunction 'and' in Flaubert does not at all serve the purpose that is assigned to it by grammar. It marks a pause in the rhythmic pace and divides a picture. Wherever we would use 'and,' Flaubert leaves it out." --Marcel Proust, Regarding Flaubert's "style", 1919 "La conjonction 'et' n'a nullement dans Flaubert l'objet que la grammaire lui assigne. Elle marque une pause dans une mesure rythmique et divise un tableau. En effet partout où on mettrait 'et', Flaubert le supprime." --Marcel Proust, À propos du "style" de Flaubert, 1919 Read More...

exactness haunts me, even if "exaggeration" is a style of speech, a way of talking these days. i've heard that a million times, i've seen this a million times. perhaps it’s not only how i talk, but how i think. perhaps accuracy isn’t the base of expression and never was. am i OK with being inaccurate, or late, vague at the fringes, this sort of things. do i squeeze my nose, like the dentist who tries to soothe the child with candies, to divert from the pain, from the cavity, for a moment. i'm anxious, people are anxious to be wrong. being right all the time, it’s asphyxiating, having to be right constantly, it's hell, so if my interlocutor isn’t accurate, then i too can be inaccurate, which releases the pressure. one day i wanted to say that someone was… Read More...

Much has been said by (now deceased) ?????? on the subject of the Judge's Room, rumored to exist somewhere in ??????. Most of what has been said was entirely incorrect. This was largely due to an expert maneuver of disinformation on the part of (now deceased) ???????, which understandably didn't want people (children and adults) to find out that "she" was actually no such person. The Judge's Room was where the heart of the darkness was rumored to reside, eternally (although no one ever grasped that notion). It was said that (now deceased) ?????? was actually, but not officially, this entity, in such a manner that nobody did understand the laws of her motion -- principally because of the massive number of spurious systems (now deceased) ?????? designed. This is entirely untrue. When (now deceased) ?????? morphed into itself three… Read More...

nora and nobra are on a boat. nora falls off. if someone comes at me with the whole oh you're a superstar angle, i just play that character, but: it always makes me perplexed when people refuse eternal youth. i didn’t read homer’s iliad but i read the sequel, the odyssey, a long time ago, and i believe that at the end of the iliad, ulysses leaves troy to return home to ithaca, where his family and his fans are waiting. the trip (the "odyssey") takes almost 10 years during which he meets (a) junkies, (b) circe who turns men into swines, (c) alluring rowdy killers (half bird half lesbian), (d) giants with unpronounceable names, (e) etc, and (f) calypso, a sea-nymph interested in witchcraft who used to have a career in porn jacking off sea elephants before focusing on… Read More...

there’s no such thing as a happy hope. it’s all a giant wheel of disenchantment, of sadness, of disorder. you wait and you're cursed. ?counting from infinity to zero, backward. you don’t know where to begin. ??we had jimmy in last week. he was already wearing his leather collar around his neck when he arrived, in his orange donkey-ass leather jacket and the giant fuck me collar around his neck. billie attached a leash to the collar and walked him around a $4,000 antique torture chair we bought on ebay germany. a chair from the high middle age with rusty nails and covered with german cobwebs. it’s the only sex toy — in the world – that makes you want to commit suicide. besides jimmy hates the middle age, it really freaks him out, and as a matter of fact… Read More...

In 2009, a fire at S-One partially destroyed the [The Kreutzer Sonata]. Among the most arcane networks elaborated in stereohell are the complex paths traversed by members and guests around the S-One facilities. We studied the formation of patterns and schemes using a novel analysis technique. We estimated the population of S-One at different times and all spatial positions at the S-One facilities. We derived the response of each character to "information" concentrations (see depiction below) by looking at correlations between "information" concentrations and changes in speed and direction for each character. Speed was found to adjust to "information" concentrations, while direction was largely unaffected by the same "information" concentrations.

i looked through my bookshelf for sade fourier loyola. i read through the sade essays. in Sade, no strip-tease. the body is uncovered at once. […]. the function of the discourse is not in fact to create “fear, shame, envy, an impression” etc., but to conceive the inconceivable, i.e., to leave nothing outside the words and to concede nothing ineffable to the world. The most objective writers on the subject gave Kerr credit for being a profound thinker, and it was worth noting that her associates spoke with great respect of her intellectual force. It appeared, however, that she was the victim of at least two other forces, first, reality, and secondly, her own inadequate judgment of how to launch an interminable theory such as StereoHell. She was really employing methods of the Middle Age, for her whole system seemed… Read More...

2. ?????????????????? Syrup said that he entered the building and immediately saw Gumm, standing in the lobby. Gumm stated that he was the building manager and that he would show Syrup where the stairs were. Syrup called the security and Gumm left before the guards arrived. At one point Syrup described his pace as a "walk," but then said it was a "trot." When asked if Gumm's pace had been "about" the same as his pace, Syrup replied, "I THINK so" (SH, 522, emphasis added). However, when Warm referred to his pace through the building, he consistently used the word "ran" (Ibid. 152, 153, 155, 167). In fact, Gumm was running so fast that he did NOT encounter Syrup on the first floor. As we'll see, this idea is problematic, given all the things Jerry Syrup allegedly did or would… Read More...

Jimmy Brodkeytre held what you'd call a top position, and everyone who somehow held a top position in Freleng's lineup was directly appointed by Frelengsju, and indubitably conversant with the "circumstances," so our understanding was that he was apprised of the situation to an extreme extent. His first "detective mission" job was to locate Ricky Warmen. He was sent to Vegas. He drifted down the strip and examined every marquee. Billy Gummtvå was there working at SpriteOne, and someone at SpriteOne, a fellow employee reading Art in America, had found out about this guy who was hanging out at SpriteOne and was playing this poker player type of character. He pronounced the name of Warm and produced a picture of Warm printed in the last issue of Art in America. Gumm discovered something he was not in quest of and… Read More...
