You wanted to buy this magic cantaloupe, which was magic becuase some magic bacteria ate away the inside, and the user was supposed to rub the cantaloupe rind on their face. You didn't have enough money to buy it, though, so I bought it for you but woke up before I had a chance to give it to you. What do you think that means?<br /><br />-Kate in columbusthe Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18276765475774302817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-67267866546154274452007-01-07T23:30:00.000-05:002007-01-07T23:30:00.000-05:00"I perfer the folly of enthusiasm to the indiffere..."I perfer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom"<br /><br />-Anatole FranceRamseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561610419583673044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-35680188772858313062007-01-05T20:41:00.000-05:002007-01-05T20:41:00.000-05:00And Just for the record, I used to party with Jona...And Just for the record, I used to party with Jonathan S. back in college and he was emotionally remote then too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383315880571612047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-37112864619443684832007-01-05T17:09:00.000-05:002007-01-05T17:09:00.000-05:00I feel for you, I’m so sorry it turned out like th...I feel for you, I’m so sorry it turned out like that, and I understand. The irony is that I fell for you immediately when I saw you in Atlanta so much so that I dreamed I met you one night as you performed in an old Berlin-Noir Cabaret. <br /><br />I'm in this weird place where on the one hand I would love to travel to Boston to see you perform this Carob Cake with the good frosting, but simultaneously, I wish I could transform myself into an internet mogul so I could (completely in secret of course) lavish you with money to allow you to create exactly what it is you want to create.<br /><br />Amanda, you're an inspiration to us living our dull and normal lives out here in America and your frustration at not doing this Cake right is what drives you. <br /><br />Hats off to you for not faking it.

Was it something like "trying to please everyone results in that which really pleases no one" or, "the devil with the awesome kitchen's bargain is a fool's bargain" or perhaps, "tell the landlord to fix the broken stove or suffer the consequences"? Or is it that calling a description of a dinner party (and the ensuing ride home) a "parable" does not necessarily make it one?R.

I will say something I was thinking about..<br /><br />Well, it's funny... and totally ironic, we say good things for people.. I mean... advices... things we really (or not really) think are good... things we should do... but people don't hear you, and you don't hear yourself. It's like talk to a mirror. You see you're talking, you see somebody hearing you... but nothing happens...<br />only stupid reflections<br />anyway, good luck for you, have a greeeeeeat new year.<br />Hope to see you guys someday in Brazil ^^<br />=**<br />ciaoLegacy Userhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252415034468012256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-354825684584232412007-01-01T22:17:00.000-05:002007-01-01T22:17:00.000-05:00Orson Welles had free reign on Citizen Kane and he...Orson Welles had free reign on Citizen Kane and he created a masterpiece. The studio interfered with Magnificent Ambersons and it was a shadow of what it could have been. The devil wouldn't threaten or demand, he would wheedle and cajole; compliment and suggest compromise - and that's how he gets your soul, a little at a time.<br /><br />I recently had my first book published, a photoessay of architectural ruins. Although a perfectly nice book, which has received nothing but favorable reviews, it was not what I imagined. Originally it was to be a larger format hardcover. Gradually it dwindled to a smaller softcover. Clever conceits of narative were sacrificed to limitations in length, and essential photos were sacrificed to the needs of the layout designer. Each of these changes caused me further anguish, dismay and frustration but, although I did what I could to salvage my vision, trying to force any issue beyond a point might have resulted in there being no book at all. The result: a book that is good, but which I will always believe could have been better.<br /><br />What is the moral? I guess the first time is a freebie. Like ones first bad experience in amour, next time we'll know better. Next time I'll lock in the terms better. Next time I'll know when to dig in my heels and say "this is not negotiable." I hate to say it, but sometimes you may have to act like a dick or risk your vision. Fool me once, shame on you...<br /><br />I feel your pain.Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639304566329206364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-37101676757389896142007-01-01T08:45:00.000-05:002007-01-01T08:45:00.000-05:00i thought your parable made perfect sense. i love ...i thought your parable made perfect sense. i love this sentence, "his apartment is an old refuge, a dusty library of music and art, the cats who count."<br />lots of love and enjoy your stomach and spare time.

It can be tough during a run like the OC. Bravo for Bix Biederbecke! I wish I had a 78 collection and record player. I had a friend who passed away last month who had the most amazing collection of jazz 78s. He'd talk about them for hours - and unfortunately I regret never having the opportunity to go and actually listen to them with him. He played in big bands in the 40s and has had quite an influence on me musically. So hurray to you for listening to those gems. See you on closing night. I'll be sure make some noise.Living Composer of the Monthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004546508044454432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-16974186299483688512006-12-29T15:43:00.000-05:002006-12-29T15:43:00.000-05:00This may sound selfish, but I love your new schedu...This may sound selfish, but I love your new schedule...I go to work at 3 am and then come home, clean (very relaxing to me) and putter and then when everything is in order "check my inbox"...when you are on tour your blogs are few and far between...now, shit!! practically frequently...but we are never happy...soon I will be jones-ing for a tour...the stomach sounds yummyrottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260750121183253186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-63967666387532668662006-12-29T14:56:00.000-05:002006-12-29T14:56:00.000-05:00I am pretty sure I feel like the most naive, ignor...I am pretty sure I feel like the most naive, ignorant person ever. I read the parable of the onion cellar twice, both times when i was suppossed to be studying for exams, and my head was in another place. I wrote you an email asking you to make me a chocolate zucchini cake. now that it's christmas break, and i've had time for my head to clear, i've realized what a moron i am. This is a parable, close to the likes of the stories i hear at school from the bible. After reading your blog numerous times, i've realized how much i have in common with you. I leave stuff for a long time, hoping it will go away, or someday i'll have time to fix it. My room is a disaster, like a tornado ripped through it. for my birthday, my mother gave me the signed berlin poster. i have yet to find a place for it. Mail from colleges have been pouring into our mail box, and i just toss them aside. i have been for months now. Do whatever you want. Life is best that way. I can't wait to see what this break is going to do for the dresden dolls. I can't wait to hear the beauty that is the dresden dolls. Good luck to you in the next couple of months. It sounds like things are going well for you right now.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14243841814860214387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-12934231156579806032006-12-29T10:46:00.000-05:002006-12-29T10:46:00.000-05:00My friend and I hope to see the play at the last s...My friend and I hope to see the play at the last showing(If the money gods will allow me to be able to afford two tickets). And don't worry, we are a very rowdy pair (in a good way, not in a "TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT"-way). I am sorry but I am finding that reading the comments on your Parable entry are more entertaining than the actual post! (not really but they are quite interesting...). I hope that you are enjoying your well deserved break. If you need any boxes for storage let me know. And one day... MARK MY WORDS!

I don't know why, perhaps it's just me... perhaps I pay too much attention, or make things appear where there are none, perhaps it's a state of mind, but life <i>always</i> does ironic things like that to me. Sometimes in comes in the form of a book or song with impeccable timing, sometimes it's a tiny microcosm within my own life or that of my friends and family that reflects so accurately the bigger picture. <br /><br />I don't know. Perhaps I'm feeling overly optimistic at the moment, but I really feel like if people just opened their eyes they'd find that life more often than not provides us with the tools we need to tackle (and sometimes even make sense) of the circumstances we land in. You just have to be willing to see it.Natalie Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999082921314302021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9394978.post-51195344582892749522006-12-29T00:35:00.000-05:002006-12-29T00:35:00.000-05:00i've enjoyed your frequent posts tremendously...th...i've enjoyed your frequent posts tremendously...thanks again. you're a special person amanda.wasted_lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415424333865734392noreply@blogger.com
