last night i dreamt about a mermaid parade in tucson.
there are two reasons for this... a conversation with lia about mermaids at passover ? i think.
& watching morris engel's movie 'little fugitive' last night. the movie is about a little boy who runs away to coney island after he is tricked into believing he has killed his older brother with a little toy pistol. he collects glass bottles and exchanges them for money & rides all the rides. it was so so good. supposedly engel really influenced truffaut & cassavetes a great deal.
i wish i had photos of the 2007 mermaid parade. ciaran & i were dressed up & it was so much fun riding the F train full of crazy mermaids for almost an hour to coney island. many people couldn't sit down in their costumes & one of the people i was standing near worked for the jim henson company & had a jellyfish muppet that seemed to take up half of the train car. in the dream last night i had a dreadful costume & the sky was grey. i want to travel this summer to brooklyn for the parade with a real costume of shells & glitter. that would make me so. so happy.

Yes yes! Come here! This is going to be such an epic summer. Just today I went to a dirty treasure trove beach on Staten Island and saw my first opera! Most of the day was spent driving around, looking at everything. And all of the cherry blossoms are in bloom. I wish you were here NOW!
