Happy Thanksgiving -  12:55 PM  -  Limited

http://www.alansondheim.org/warning.mp4

wrote and lost everything, just an accounting in the midst of Happy 
Thanksgiving, working on mss, for WVU Press and Continuum, the FireMuseum 
record out soon, articles due on RMB city in Second Life and a performance in 
SL as well in January, working with Foofwa during the first week of January w/ 
collaboration with Mark Skwarek and Slava towards the end, then a 2nd 
performance with Monika Weiss Feb.2-4, and next week, the Window Gallery using 
crystal radios, guitar amp, the small models I made of distorted avatars and 
hopefully an accompanying video if I can quickly get the format right, no idea 
what that should really be. it feels emptied out with the deaths, flood, 
embezzlement, family split (which at this point I don't want to heal, just want 
to get over it). the Eyebeam scheduling was arcane and I hope it's actually 
fixed at this point so I can start working on various ideas here and there. I 
worry I'm a burden on everyone, like James Ellroy with his hushhush always 
going on in the background. i make short and simple videos here, still in 
Aurora Colorado, at least for myself; there aren't any comments at all for 
these. One of these, New York Woman, is a recap of an older audiotape, as 
embarrassing now as it was then, Reading Wilfred Owen, Ellens' The Destructive 
Power of Religion, Confederacy of Dunces, a book on cactus identification, a 
book on the Korean komungo, watching the news, keeping my mouth shut about the 
right-wing swirls of local tv. More and more I think that nature in fact really 
is red in tooth and claw, suffering and dissolution are the two positives of 
the world. I take walks and photographs around the nature preserve/reservoir 
and capture the encroaching mansions everywhere, devouring energy and any other 
resources they can find. Sometimes a hawk and new sparrows. The sky is 
steadfast blue, Around the world, there's no Thanksgiving and people are 
suffering. OWS lost almost all their library; books are trash in this world. I 
keep going back reading Dendy's Philosophy of Mystery and making calls, trying 
to connect to my friends, to keep them my friends in spite of all my faults. I 
stare into the dark. The dark doesn't stare back. In Pennsylvania, the house we 
grew up in is slowly collapsing. I inherit two antique guns and two antique 
swords. The world no longer needs them.
