hi lucee,
of course i want to hang again, you’re coolio.
i don’t know about getting married in the next week and a half. sounds a bit rushed.besides, i’ve just started to come around to the “it’s not so bad being single when you’renot over your last (shit) relationshiop with an alcoholic that you really loved” philosophy.
sorry i’ve not had the chance to ring you back in the last couple of days. was up inhuntsville (went very well) and a bunch of other stuffs. y’know...rolling cigars on thethighs of virgins, etc.
i’m not sure where we’re due to hang again, but i look forward to doing so at somepoint, perhaps before the dang summer is done, eh?

There is a very cool scene in “6 feet Under - Season 3” featuring thematriarch and her beau. They are in a hardware store considering which kindof screwdriver they should get - more specifically cordless or not. Somewhereamidst the deliberations she turns to him and says, “I don’t want to do this bymyself anymore.” and they get married ten minutes later.. .(which in thenarrative works out to about a week and a half and a world of heartache andcool cam.e ra ang!es) The sentiment being that it is doing these day to daytrivial things with “someone” is the what makes the world a kinder place to
-—live-in. Gay, but true.
I think you are magic and would love to see you. I am realizing that in the noteI mailed to you, I was really asking if you’d like to go to Crappy Tire to help mepick out an electric rake. And I am thinking now that maybe you would notbecause I really pissed you off.. .somehow. And then I am thinking you arecaptive in a Cuban prison and are trying to send me telepathic messages toget me to spring you from the joint so we can go smoke cigars rolled on thethighs of virgins and frolic on the beach...with the virgins.
So. ..can you help me out with this? Do you want to hang out again?

One of the projects I’m dealing with here is show about the freemasons -
Page 1 of 2
namely following around new recruits who are in their twenties andd askingthem “Why in the name of fuck do you what to be a freakin’ Mason?”. As wellwe’re looking at how the society is dealing with the fact that theirmembership is literally dying off faster than they can be replaced. The NewYork Times ran an ad saying ‘Hey, wanna be a mason? This week only, you canbe initiated in just one day (rather than the typical three months. Yikers)!!!!!!...this is how despereate these folks are to up their enrollment.
Here’s my question. We are going to be doing a couple of re-enactments toillustrate what happens ‘behind closed doors’ during some of the
rituals...know anyone willing to fuck a goat?
Just checking.

i find it increasingly difficult to identifywhether flattery is a bud or a leaf. part of theproblem is that you WANT to believe thatnice things being said are all buds, to acertain extent, my way of dealing is that iend up taking everything with agrain of salt.that sucks because what really happens isthat i don,t believe the flattery but i getdown and upset about criticism, butsometimes i can tell i,ve really affectedsomeone and i choose to accept theircompliments.- that,s nice.

I’m I am right in thinking that youat times encounter folks whooffer up exaggerated false flattery(like in Banff “Wow, at karaokeyou really held the room” blahblah). How do you separate thebud from the leaf, if you see whatI mean? What stops you, as a Jiancreature, from thinking it’s allleaf? Or all bud for that matter?

dear lucee,
my advice would be: move to the big smoke.
you are a big personality with talent and lots and lots of energy. you will enjoy exploitingthe riches of a big city. and clearly you’re antsy to shake up your world.
i say go for it. what’s the worst that can h-appen? give yourself a year and be back forxmas in halifax 2004 if it all turns to shit. it’s worth it to try.

I am wading in a sea of options and choices and decisions and offers. having abit of a time figuring out whether or not to jump to the big smoke now. imostly want to but the carrots are being dangled to keep me here. I’ll checkout everything until a concrete offer takes hold, really jian, any advice you canoffer would be ofhuge. value--at this point. “torn between two lovers...”

hi luceel
I’m good but frazzled. just got back from edmonton and have to go to PEI tomorrow. funwow. am shooting my >play network election special called “screw the vote, let othersdecide your future.” it’s an earnest attempt to dissuade young people from voting in theupcoming federal election, after all, why vote when it makes no difference and you couldspend that time masturbating?
did you come to t-dot in march? i hope i didn’t miss you here.
i’m sad that you’re not moving to toronto. not for my sake — i couldn’t give a fuck whereyou live - but for YOUR sake. i really think you need(ed) a change of scenery and takingover toronto is a good idea. but i guess you gots stuffs goin’ on in the atlantic region, fairenough.
i guest hosted zed a couple of weeks ago. everyone was very nice to me.
Greetings earth]ing.You know, I think about you sometimes and as usual

And I heard that you are doing somestuff with Zed? What else?
I have a chum who is doing a piece for the CBC ArtsdReport and she asked me about who is dgging TPB thesedays. I gave her some names of folks, yours being oneof them. You might be able to give some insight as towhy people bother to watch it. Or you may want to sendme a hundred bucks to fuck off and leave you alone.Either way, you’ll do it with your usual flare, I amsure of that much.
Will you lemme know how you are? If there is an itchyou need.. .um. scratching?
