Follow along
Hey, I am just apparently learning about this newfangled thing called the internets or webbernet or innersphinctum or some such gobbledy gook. Anyway, I have a special kind of thing called a “blog” on this hip young communication tool. If you check it out every now and then, or even better if you forget to check it out, you should look over to the lower right where it now says followers. Then you should move what Al Gore and I call the “cursor” over to where it says FOLLOW, and then just click it. That way you can say you follow along with Thursday City News and we can pretend to be friends. Unless we really are friends, in that case nothing will change, except you will feel an even stronger connection to my ever shining love.

Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival
Our friends at Desert Island have collaborated with Picture Box to put together what is sure to be a great event: the first annual (maybe?) Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival!!! It takes place from 11am-7pm on December 5th. If you live in the tri-state area and care anything about comics or graphics you must attend. I will have a table there and it is free to the public. There will also be a lot of great guests and concessions.

Moving mountains
A hat has been pulled out of the rabbit.
It will be exhausting, but worth it.
The movie Elliott and I have been working on
for over three years now
is in its last throes of gestational activity.
The first screening will be tomorrow.
I thought I would not be able to go,
but Elliott and I pulled the hat out of the rabbit
at the last minute.
I start my journey at 8am this morning.
I get back to Brooklyn at 11am tomorrow morning.
A hell of a whirlwind tour, but worth it.
Elliott and I both woke up yesterday sweating
over the fact that this would be the first
major shared event in our lives
one of us would be absent for.
Well, the fates were determined to dictate otherwise.
Here we go.

Aristotle said:
“Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.”
That is almost too profound to fathom.
It will be exhausting, but worth it.

Up and Down
For every idyllic pony ride through Elysian fields
there must be a correlative sublime monster laying in wait.
It’s just natural.

“The way up and the way down are one and the same.”—Heraclitus

Beaver Vortex, or General Mechanics 101
Imagine the world from the perspective of a machine.
From a machine’s perspective
organism is alien,
nature is abhorrent,
existence is incomprehensible,
divinity is a fiction,
interpenetration is impossible,
infinity is a number,
value is an equation,
principle is a hypothetical,
humanity is a tool.
Hmm… come to think of it…
I suppose we see from the mechanical perspective as our default,
our a priori as it were.
Perhaps we should try seeing the world from the perspective of a human?
It’s a topsy turvy world.
