horsemouth is afflicted by the contemporary amnesia. for some reason facebook does not want to show him posts from a year ago. horsemouth cannot thus tell you a then and now story.
last night the french connection. great to see new york so grimy, so fucked up and dangerous looking. this time horsemouth notices roy schneider (busy working away as cop no.2) rather than gene hackman (cop no.1).
outside a beautiful morning (whoops horsemouth is up late). his sleeping is improving as his coughing diminishes but his throat is still sore. he has his coffee.
today is world galaxy day also.
alice coltrane shows us the wide cosmic views (with strings - galaxy in... olodumare/ turiya/ satchidananda) yes, but she also shows us fierce gnarly improv re-visitings of her late husband's work (my favourite things and a love supreme).
sorry horsemouth was just off down a what if wormhole.
hannah arendt's the origins of totalitarianism is a big, gnarly, book to fit into the current times. in a way arendt has difficulty speaking to us, some of the text is elucidated by recent events, some of it remains obscured, her nuclear war fear (where sennett starts with her, on that freezing NY corner in 1962) is the thing that speaks to us least.
horsemouth is up late. there may be sun in the sitting room. horsemouth has two books on the go (so he should probably go and do some reading).
tomorrow the electrical safety check. thursday is alabama day. friday the frost moon (and a partial lunar eclipse).
