Really really enjoying Handke's journal now. Just past half way. Doctoral dissertation: analyze the journal as the fulcrum, the inflection point (to use this awful new term), or just study it's dictionary for the fun of it as a self-contained logo -verse.
So many lines of such interest, power, dismay, strangness, rage, feeling, intimacy, insight, boredom. He really shows what can be done, how not easy it is to produce such a volume in a year and a half, two years. What else was he writing then, if anything? "Sex: the ultimate enmity." 149 How much is observation, how much fiction? "I go on talkimg while passing through the revolving door of a luxury hotel. That'll show them." 150
Rested all day hoping to get ride of the sore throat and cough from yesterday. Took Va's stuff to Optum in the morning. Bought another panera salad for her lunch, I had lentil soup.
Slave to advertising again: I wrote to Alcami saying hey where is my golden spoon and golden frother for the daily ritual??
Change our return air tix to early morning through the MSP airport now that I learned that terrible info about weather over the ATL airport. Explains why we got re-routed and canceled last summer. Never again spending the night in an airport. Going out next Jan might even go all the way to Phoenix or LAX and spend a night or even two to make the trip better.
Looks like Gabriela won't be back to help out or swim. No surprise there. Bela on the piano now. Will Pablo come back?
Tomorrow the B&L lunch.
