I've got a little monkey on my back... and he's always looking for new ticks. we go to thrift stores and swap meets together in search of party favors and children's books from years long past. arty farty things. literary nonesense. found objects. stuff you can dig up. broken toys, unfiltered tap water. ephemera. collections of others. myoosic that you can danse to. its an obsession with the eye that we share. I call it love.

i like it when tv makes me cry. but only if it is a commercial what make me weep.... i think to myself, yes mister ad man - now I must reward your genius with my dollars. but i don't have any dollars, so i steal. how can something so evil touch so many hearts?
i like books very much. they take me on adventures to exotic places and strange lands. they fill my head and heart with holes. most of all, i love the way old books smell, and the stuff that gets stuck in the pages. everytime you write in a book, and leave someone a message or a note, or highlight a particularly informative passage, god pulls the wings off a beetle. its true. i read it somewhere, in a book perhaps.
