Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.WS

East coast craving

Fall makes me think of art openings, the Met and, hanging out at the Plaza Hotel (before it closed) and Central Park. But, this year fall has me thinking about New Haven of all ghastly places to be memorialized in my mind.

it is like this, certain places and people can raise your IQ by about 50 points-for me it is the old Yale locales; the drama school, the Rep, the British, the Art Gallery and the brilliant lectures and incredible zeitgeist. It's been 20 years since I left the east coast, after a horrible break-up and, this is the first time I profoundly miss it.

I miss New England and I miss walking through the Met. And, I miss the theater.

I really miss the art experiences. An art experience is an amazing journey- transported into an artist's world (pick your artist carefully.) For example, Claude Lorrain,,,every line, every brush stroke is part of my art experience...surreal... the art experience is a transcendence to god.

On another note, California has become intellectually vacuous, particularly here in shit town, Alameda, it is too flat, dirty and boring for me right now.
