Q 20) When will you get around to it?
It's on the to - do list, after I have painted the midnight sky with diamonds,sung a new song to the black birds, and persuaded the man from Del Monte that it is OK to say NO.
I have to hoover the cat, and empty the trash, there are walls to be walked, and trees to be climbed, giants to slay, and thorns to pull... and I still havnt met all the fish in the sea.
or counted the drops in the ocean.
Can you get back to me if its urgent?

Graphically
It's an intertexual immediacy,
That inspires an intellectual sensuality.
A communicational vitality,
That constructs the consensual reality,
So the electrical and digital modality
Can adequately convey the emotional totality.

A24 - What's on the telly? Well, this weekend there was a man in a blue shirt from the Ivory Coast doing some beautiful acrobatic dives, rolls and twists, and finishing his performance with some genuine well meant gesturing and pleading. Ah such theatre. It was just divine - but sadly he was never taken seriously. I can't think why not? Watch again this Saturday, I'm sure he is capable of a repeat performance...

However, the press didn't think that would sell papyrusses, so, they misquoted him as saying "Eureka". Seems they made the right decision, as noone would have remembered him if he had only been quoted as saying "That!"

Q24) How do I feel?
Now that you have developed this social life away from the ship; I didn't think you would have time for this... but hey, I need a therapist and as you asked...The tablets stop me feeling as much as I used to, which is good... but the guilt still gets me every time.... I am not sleeping... and I get sorta choked whenever I think of kittens and bunnies.... and.... blah.... and bleugh.... and my mother is the root of all my problems..... and more blah .... and the voices.... blah (fade gently... going.... going...... )
Thankyou I feel so much better now.
