Hey Gijyun,

I know that it's embarrassing and disquieting to you - Libby's your sister and there's some thirty-odd years of the past to cloudy up the now.

Her friends, we don't know her any other way and we aren't embarrassed - Libby's often naked in one sense or the other.

While I'm not sad that Libby has nice breasts, it's not why I care for her, read her blog or respect her.

Libby's a gem. You sound like one too, from what I've read.

Where the Wild Things Are is also a childhood favourite. I still have a copy that I revisit a couple times a year, my friends' children all have copies and I have one of the figures screwed on to my desk. I hope that the adaptation is gentle with my childhood memories.

It reminded me of something that you would write. It's got that "damn the torpedo bras, empower yourself, go out and fuck shit up in a good way" vibe that you have going on. :) It gives some kind of people the permission they need to need less permission.

I think that it needs just one more item:

14. This manifesto is a draft. Hack it up until it works for you.

For my tastes, it's about 50/50, with four songs that really stand out.

Into the Hollow is dreamy, wistful and crepuscular.
3's and 7's is muscular, cynical and funny.
Suture Up Your Future is seductively psychopathic anti-lounge.
River in the Road is the bastard lovesong of Homme and Sendak.

A great, sad, wrong and somehow sexy track. You've probably heard River in the Road and Suture up Your Future already.

For the blood, perhaps try an English or German sausagemaker - they'll need blood for black pudding/blutwurst. In my first job as a the cleanup boy in a German deli, we brought in buckets of blood every few weeks. It was absolutely the worst to clean up from.

Hum. Explained in that fashion, the FCC seems like some kind of pleasant public service organization. ;)

Heh. I think that I will print and frame your comment. :)

I am honestly dismayed at stuff like this. While the letter was nicer than most, it is still total twaddle. If we can't discuss culture, then we won't have any.

To Whom It May Concern,

Towards the end of collecting our hefty hourly billing rate, but under the guise of protecting the interests of the artists we purport to represent, and in direct contravention of fair use, basic decency and business sense, we demand that you immediately cease appreciating, discussing or even thinking about our client's work. To continue in these actions may lead to a greater awareness and appreciation of our client's work or facilitate other unspecified, unauthorized cultural benefits.

We make this demand on the grounds of your display of a low-resolution reproduction of the art work in question for the purpose of discussion or critique, a use that is permitted in most free countries in the world. Despite this, we may still sue the living jeebus out of you after sending a string of letters at further cost to our client, if you persist in appreciating our client's work.

Sincerely,
V. U. L. Ture, Esq. on behalf of YAPARO (Yet Another Predatory Artists Rights Organization)

Hey Libby,

We don't talk much. Probably never will beyond an email here and there when the mood strikes and the stars align. However, you've written some lovely, caring and smart things to Mandy, and so I keep a friendly eye on your various feeds. From a distance, I see the work just gushing out of you. It's awesome to behold. Just keep on keepin' on. You'll find people (probably through the Net) to help you get where you are going (and vice versa.)
