After you die... Parallel Universe
After death, you will continue to exist as if nothing has ever happened. You will continue to be yourself, but because you are in a parallel universe, some things will be different. You may not have married the same person, you might live in a different spot, but you will be the same person underneath it all and you will continue your life unaware that you ever died.

Benji is a very curious person. He talks and writes to his friends about missing new york ever so much, yet when the opportunity arises to be gone, even if it's just a little bit longer, he takes it. Personally, he was looking forward to being home on Dec 16, as that was when he would be kicked out of his dublin apt.
Amazingly, his Dublin roommate Tim, and a close friend Adam decided to go on a two day camel tour of the desert outside of Marrakech, Morroco. I've always wanted to go to Morroco or Turkey, so this is a great opportunity. Thus, I won't be returning to new york until dec 20, where i'll fall into a deep sleep of camel pee.
I just got back from a weekend in the country where I was DPing someones music video. Old country mansion, 35 extras, etc. etc. Hopefully i'll squeeze in some time this week to edit my own shit so i can do the rest of my work for class. i also really need to check up with the advisement office about graduation, since i've received almost no communication from them except to be told that i'm on the list.
Babygirls, I miss you all. |

Julie Feeney
University towns are chockablock with young singer-songwriters making their own CD's as calling cards, but when you listen, something's usually a bit off. There's a grandiosity problem, or a style-copying problem, or a biting-off-more-than-you-can-chew problem. Julie Feeney, a young singer from Galway, Ireland, has distinguished herself from the others by focusing on her voice and keyboards and banishing guitars altogether, and she gets her sense of scale exactly right. On her first album, "13 Songs," she has written material spare and sturdy enough for her to play nearly all the instruments (11, including an alarm clock) and sing all the harmonies; it's a charming, urbane, dreamy record, much more sophisticated than you would expect of a guerrilla job. |

CZECH MONSTER TRUCKING IS AWESOME!
best time ever. back in dublin in the cold and rain sipping on a cappucinno in an internet cafe waiting for the day to end.
Last night I had a really vivid dream about the golem of prague which has me quite curious to find out more about it. Oddly the whole dream felt very spirited awayish. |

Heyo, more updates from cz republic.
I bought a used Tokina macro lens that goes from 25mm=75mm lens for about 40 bucks. The only thing is it only opens to F4 and closes to F22. I met some russian photographer in the store who was enthusiastic to drop 16 thousand crowns (about 640 dollars) on a fixed wide angle lens for his Nikon D100 that opens to 1.4.
Tonight is monster trucking. Yesterdaz we went to one of those blacklight theatre shows which was pretty incredible and inspirational. Apparently Im going to design adam rubins music video, which will be an awesome opportunitz to make gigantic fake guitars and anthro guitar costumes. Badass.
Last night I went to some seedy shittÿ bar called Chappeau Roüge which was essentially a really lame american bar. I dance battled some czech girl and won, but I smashed a glass pint of beer while toprocking and that reallÿ blew.
Today I bought shoes for about 25 dollars and havent shaved in nearly a week. So all the shininess of the shoes is worn off on my oily hairy face. Prague has been good, but Im feeling so burnt out on travel that I would be so happy to take a flight back to new york for the weekend or something. I kept considering flying back to dublin early just so I could have some alone time. This afternoon has been kind of like that. which has made this at least emotionally manageable. Cheers, kudos, looking forward. |

Hello friends and folkies,
I'm in Prague right now writing on a Debian system running IceWM interface, which is really really wierd for a internet cafe to have. Anyway I went to amsterdam on sunday through wednesday morning and it was intense and we didnt really accomplish all that much. I can say I think I'd be happy to never smoke pot again. The food was so cheap compared to Dublin through, it was a great cause for celebration. The weather was total shit but the city was still incredibly beautiful & so were all the people. I kept feeling like I was being looked down upon by dutch people on the issue of class, they're all so uberwealthy and immaculately dressed, but not in a hip way whatsoever. The hostel was ok--but the people there were such idiots, like totally self absorbed into the pretention of backpacking and traveling. The employees (all travlers themselves) kept walking in on us without knocking at really annoying hours. One night this really annoying dude opened our door and asked if we were blowing lines off each others asses at 11pm at night when we were all in bed. Go figure.
But now i'm in prague and its really really beautiful here and reasonably cheap--went to the jewish ghetto today which really tore me up inside. One of the old synagogues walls had entirely been covered with the names of all the czech jews to die in the halocaust--80,000. The top floor was childrens drawings from the camps themselves which I could barely stand through. I think we're going to have to wait a day before going to the camp of terizenstadt.
Tomorrow I believe we're going to a czech monster truck rally, which is going to be awesome. I'm just taking a break before dinner to catch up with internety things. Oh yeah-nian btw the monte cristos here are about four dollars each if you want me to buy you a box and mail them off to you. Let me know.
Missing everyone, as always. |
