Writing personal blogs takes a degree of exhibitive self absorption I haven't had since I was 20, and writing aesthetically critical blogs of say, records, or films, is and has always been dull to me.

It is, I guess, a way to make a buck. Or a way to make the possibility of a buck: a figurative buck in view of a buck to come. Visions of frames, certificates, watermarked paper.


I agree with David Lynch that gasoline and lake water is beautiful and the smell is very good. I want to smell that now, I want to do some boating, power boating

What the fuck is the point of this piece on channel 9? Of course there are more fire trucks outside of the city, hardly anyone (and esp. nobody wealthy) LIVES IN THE CITY ANYMORE. Until people decide they're willing to flee BACK to the city, until people decide they don't want to live in the suburbs - which is to say, RE-INVEST IN THE CITY - OF COURSE investment in infrastructure will be proportionally higher outside of it. So should there be fewer fire trucks in the county? Is that the conclusion? Syracuse was abandoned by the overwhelmingly white middle and upper classes forty years ago, how is this meant to be 'shocking'? What a stupid piece of journalism. Should be happy about the crumbs of a story on the city proper at all though, I guess.
