YOU CAN LIKE THE LIFE YOU'RE LIVING, YOU CAN LIVE THE LIFE YOU LIKE

tonight, the paris review is hosting a screening of "withnail and i" at the brooklyn book fair, and we're not going to make it. the ultimate coming of the cold in the midwest means the coming of a grey, unpopulated bleakness, but the transition period has its inspirational poesy too (the one noted by cernuda in "ocnos" -- although in regards to the same season in the very different south of spain), and even though it also often means colds. infected sinuses, more specifically. and so we're not going to make it to the screening of "withnail and i." we can't tell which of the discarded tissues in the house full of discarded tissues were used for snot and which for semen, which beyond what we've had to admit would only be the added confusion of having to change out itineraries to take us through new york for the film, might also present some interesting hygiene issues at folsom later in the weekend.
