if only i could be Octobular...


dear emma,

tonight i had to work until 9pm. 10.45 hours, i wrote down.
amidst the dinner chaos, i heard your calls on my vibrating cell phone
(which is not supposed to be in my tip cup but very much was and usually is).
i would have loved nothing more than to leave that busy restaurant and answer your call.
instead, i had to keep on bussin' hussin' and cussin.'

once finished i tried to call you all the way, far away, in michigan but i did not get through.
instead, i came home to visions of a master newt and his emu!
extraordinary.
octobular. rocktobular, indeed.
you are a master crafter of imagination and i love you.
also, you are in fact hilarious. the most.

this is what i look like tonight. (tired and sick of idiots).


















i recognize that this is my second self portrait on this blog.
(and that you have zero!)
i hope that i am not one of "those" people.
i just thought you might like to see my annoyed mug in the flesh.
data flesh, at least.

maybe i should apply here?
squat 'n' gobble, eh? gross.


see, the thing is. i really love you.

good night moon.
xx.


The Octobular Adventures of Master Newt & his Emu


Adventures these days always begin with a carseat. Weeeee! Off we go (think Mortimer in Robert Munsch's masterpiece, "I Have to Go Pee"




And so Jimi's Castles Made of Sand, they melted into the sea.


(Julius thought this was hilarious)


Meanwhile, Mr. Grasshopper waited demurely for the love of his life to return. He will be disappointed by nightfall. She has fallen into the antenae of another.


(I think the coffee stop affected the breast milk)


Then there was the dragonfly sex episode. Why not?


(snow white left her mark on poor Julius' mother - she leaves green apples about - unpoisonous, naturally - to demand the most of her imagination)


reflections reign supreme.


(but so do acorn hearts. if you blur your vision, it slightly looks like a heart made of shit. this is an illusion. they are acorns).


tangled masses of delicious peace and quiet.


(title: i love my binky)


the airways are not clear, sally. there is a lot of criss-crossing going on. i feel like the primates are confused about the state of the world.


(stop your existentialism mom. come cuddle me)

okay, julius. but first we are stopping for some Cocktails and Food.

don't you just love when people tell it like it is?
the moral of the story???

Carseats are but castles made of sand. When left to their own devices, the hilarious beasts drift towards Mr. Grasshopper's Coffee Shoppe. This phenomenon has been known to lead to dragonfly sex.


With green apples as overlords, reigning over both shit and peace, love, criss-crossing the atmosphere, cuddles her cocktails guardedly.

You make birthdays wonderful.


.em.

you are an incredible friend.
what a way to start a birthday.

a collection of birthday mementos
(recollections of magic, in fact)
yes, there may have been too much milk consumed.
but hey, it's switzerland? what the fuck.

a stream of birthday dance moves
starring, well, the one and only:
julius, baby of the world

background dancer:
"big sunnies em"
(as they call her)

who else could it have been, really?

and then, in the day to follow, the most extraordinary
packages wrapped in yarn and glitter,
enveloping
majestic beings from other lands
(no, i've never encountered mr.dean
but i am elated that he is now a part of my universe),
notes from far away,
love spilling through the seams,
a baby who can steal your heart
(into infinity and a bit beyond).

you have an ability to tip me over the edge
so that i fall,
end over end,
(down some kind of a rainbow waterfall)
into a turquoise pool of enormous smiles.

you have this effect - it's sort of what you seem to do.

thank you em. you absolutely turned my entire day into a whole series of magic tricks.
(and from so so far away)

how do you do it?
well, the imaginarium of course!

so, i give you a few treats from the farm.
the most wondrous place a gal' could go.

this here is sticks.
(em: meet sticks.)
he likes to herd. but im not a sheep, so it's pretty annoying.
he's sweet an'all.

this is mendel.
mendel was born in italy,
grew up in montreal
and now he's an organic farmer outside of savona.
he is absolutely one
of the sweetest people you
could ever even hope to meet.
the best.




to the left: soll, mendel's son.
he runs the show. he & mendel yell a lot.
still though, the best.

just a couple end of day sun rays
through the rye.
they've always been my favourite.

love always,
k.

p.s.
have a looksie loo at this little guy.
he works at the farm.
we recently discovered that he's connected to the ufos.
interesting times, em, interesting times.

p.p.s
phone call is in order?
what's going down on the eastern front?
i work until 7pm tomorrow night.
apres that?

xoxo and all the love,
all the way to michigan (far away).

THE LEAF


once upon a time there was a world in which time (a nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future) spent was classified by one circle around a magnificent ball of fire called the SUN.

depending on location, this circle (note circle, not square nor triangle) was further quartered into SEASONS. spring. summer. autumn. winter.

it is in this third quadrant that the inspiration for THE LEAF was found.

In its first press release since the announcing of its production, we here at the Imaginarium Press Inc., are delighted to expose to you the cast (and a few surprise photos!) of THE LEAF.

Notoriety: DESCRIBED BY A FRIEND AS "A HOMEBODY," JULIUS IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN DOING SOME SELF-DISCOVERY. QUOTED RECENTLY AS SAYING, "I'M JUST CHECKING OUT THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, MAN," WE LOOK FORWARD TO HIS EMERGENCE ON THE SOCIAL SCENE.
