It's my Birthday

It's my birthday. I'm 37, and I'm just thinking about career development.

Louis Theroux: "Weird Weekends."

Greek Mythology: mythic characters with tragic flaws.

If you see the beginning and the end, then you can figure out everything in between. That's pure math, I think. Paul Davies: "Let's Do Talk" Find the truths (with small "t's")...story truths. For music, I'm thinking something from the Flaming Lips. Quite like "Do you realize," but is that a bit too cheesy?

Actually, the whole "Yoshimi" album has resonance. If anyone knows the Wayne M Coyne, can you ask if he'd be up for a meeting?

Reinvention

Reinvention...the new frontiersmen in a postmodern wild west.

The John Wayne mythology can still be fulfilled in Japan. How does it break down? Deconstruction. Commitment: 18 months.

Historiographic Metafiction. Social Narrative. Reality Narrative.

Help me. My head is going to explode.

Exploding...
Exploding...

Exploding the frontiersmen myth...High Tech, rich and surfing the simulacrum of a postmodern society. Deconstruction = Explode. Tuned in, Turned On. There's so much drama in the gossip.

Tokyo, supernova, sushi express...28 million people.
Moving
Grooving
Smooth skinned
Lithe
Sleepy
Nihon-jin.
Packed like perfect pink sushi in plastic hello kitty boxes.

Sexual Politics...by whatever means possible. Now it's kickin' chicken. Militant feminism, Japanese feminism, exploitation. I am a product of my environment.

Places have power, resonance, memory.
