New York City to Regina – Aguardiente in Canadiana. August 19. A little over an hour of sleep is not enough. I require more. I got out of bed, grabbed my backpack, said goodbye to Julia and her cat and headed for the airport. I would have liked to have spent a lot more time in that bed. Julia is pretty, has an amazing body, is a great person to spend time with and has a laugh that will recharge...
New York City: New York Blues. August 18. I found a little mischief this morning and then made my goodbyes to Irmante and Anne. Good girls. Good girls to spend time with. I packed my bag at their house and went to leave their house. They have a chubby housemate who Irmante refers to as ‘Sperm-whale’ who a couple of weeks ago went into their bedroom and stole valium tablets and then later stole $40. I was very cold...
New York City: Manhattan Free Walking Tour. August 17. A Manhattan free walking tour is much less interesting than you might think. It is a lot of talk about millionaires and billionaires and how much money they have and the buildings they made, and how they left $20 million to their dog when they died. And there I was yesterday, spending an extra hour on the internet to save $26 on my plane ticket by using all of the internet...
German Nearly Official US Language. August 16. Imagine… It was close. German Nearly Official US Language. Imagine how different the world would be today had that been the case. Think of the wars… I was told recently that the United States of America had a vote when the country was being formed as to which language they would speak in the country; English or German. There were nearly as many German immigrants as English at that time. A language vote...
New York City: Friendship Comets Colliding. August 15. Not a lot of things in life feel as cool as having people from different waves of your life meet, hit it off and bond like old friends themselves. In the dictionary it is one of the four definitions for the word ‘Awesomeness.’ It is in those moments when you find your friendship comets colliding! Irmante and I got out of the house late and went to the High Line, a park...
New York City – Jeff Koon Three Meter Porn. August 14. Irmante was very sick today. She did not feel like moving. But we got her going. Her hangovers are nothing to be desired. She took me to the Whitney Museum of American Art to the Jeff Koon exhibition. I have never seen anything quite like it before. There was a lot of sex involved in it including three meter tall canvas photos of Jeff Koon having sex with his porn...
New York City: North American Ground. August 13. The size of the human beings in North America is always a surprise for me every time I return to this continent. I caught the subway from JFK airport in New York City to Manhattan and the enormity of the people is disturbing. It is an issue that is going to need to be addressed here in the future as people are not going to live long at that size. On...
