goddamn man i was just trying to shave some grapefruits for a moment and then wha-BAM it was eastern standard dragon time

"First of all Richard, they're not breasts. They're not breasts, they're just big chemical balls, okay?"

just recently, that is the other day i, by happenstance, went to best buy and purchased season 7 of curb your enthusiasm, a killer program.

larry david gets into all sorts of trouble here. the plots are tight, so far, with that classic twist of LD's undeniably selfish behavior. all the characters are in the right place. larry is working to gather the seinfeld crew to do a reunion show in which jason alexander plays a man who is trying to get back his wife. while outside, larry is trying to get back with his own-ex. this creates the plot that runs through the entire show, in between are comic sprinkles of often laugh-out-loud worthy-ness.

the episode i just finished, LD gets into a strange love triangle with wheels with the goal of taking a date to a chee yun concert at someone rich asshole's home. i looked chee yun up and this is her

lineage of violinist. that badass playing the cello could have been me if i realized the workings of the world while in the second grade. a friend i have not had very long once told me he chose the violin because it would be easiest to move around from lesson to concert to car.

LD also tells Christian Slater he's eating over his allotment of caviar at an asshole social function. and he gets into a scuffle with Rosie O' Donnell. and i thought he was on good terms in the lesbian community? Larry David has really done it this time.

i hope the season gets even stronger. i am excited and will probably continue to watch more.

also on the docket is to read the forest for the tree by Betsy Lerner. it took me as odd as i read the introduction, thinking to myself god, this sounds like the first pages of a bestselling self-help book. then, it dawned on me. as a writer, i am a mess. maybe this is what i need. so i am going to read and keep an open mind. maybe some good will come of it.

here's a draft of flash i wrote when trying to draft a realism flash (ala kim chinquee)

Military Fungal Complex

The cosmic intermission of day and night, fine razors of light nick tips of grass. I shake my shoes, look behind me, then, enjoy the armies and their blades. I muse how to eliminate time and where in this country I can find the land. I think of distant scents of burning oil hanging in car-crash steam. I see myself old and when I’ll have spent all my money and have declared nirvana. I recall the troves of herbs Basil snipped and brought over this morning like specimens; he spoke a dialect of elegant particular: taste, cooking use, boiling points and lots and lots of other things. For a minute, I panic at being called dad. “Do you want some dinner?” That might be my girlfriend. “Yes I want some dinner.” It smells like lasagna. I snag my shoes with two fingers like hooks.
