 10:13 am  reading is a contest of wills; you wrote this, I will read every word

now they tell me the China Mieville tome is also necessary   hokey is the word Fisher, Matt K., used for Fosse's newest book, Hotel Vaim.  Gonna pass on Mieville after a wiki scan 

Wednesday  30 September  Dr Gilani Day 

in Beginnings we're in the intensity of somnolence, the intention of waking from silence and sleep into returning to the world, experiences and people are not important per se but only presented as shadows and lights, clouds, wisps, stars, waves.  From the zen circles of gravel in the seminary outward into roads, squares, windows, roofs, cornices, trees, microphones, baldchins, 

so the Gilani call was a face visit after all.  He could see us, we could not see him.  He wants us to go to CMC for a cat scan so he can see the valve properly.  Maybe he does not trust the echocardiagram from this summer?  And/or no "shortness of breath" symptom, so no crisis.  He sees two options---a new medicine blood thinner or a new insert into the existing valve.  Bela very disappointed and upset; cannot see why the cruise had to be canceled, why an appointment was not set up today.  

headache has returned;  decaf coffee and cacao just now.  Duh.  when wise up?  wise down?  too much analysis of medical journey details, details 

Max Whittaker replied about setting up the claim deed.  That should work for the trust attorney.  

Talked with her paralegal and it does. 

headache result of two tabs of magnesium glyconate?  

so Moresco portrays without portraying the state being in formation, in a seminary, creates and what it is like to leave that fugue state and re-enter the rejected world, the world the seminary is designed to withdraw you from.  Italian readers would understand this rather easily and fully.  The vocation to the priesthood would be as familiar to them as going for holy communion when you are between 5 and 7 years old.  Like Christmas every year.  Must be other ways Moresco's texts are echoing, playing with, off of cultural details which we cannot see.  More so than with Handke.  Translators can only do so much.  Yes, they can recast it into the language, style that fits the reader's language.  Translation as loss would be the essential experience of all reading, in and of itself. 

Arlyn came by and looked over the yard.  His guy can climb up onto the sunporch roof and clear the leaves and branches from behind the skylights.  Take out the dead part of the rhododendrons in the front.

Moresco days will slow.  most likely.  disappearers delivers tomorrow.  

Should we take a Stand on the heart valve and say, we go to DHMC for cardiology or we go nowhere?  

sounds like one of those delusory, silly, either/or's.
