Agent Cooper (aka Taco)

I am drinking coffee with my new little skitty. My other cat Agent Scully (aka Burrito) hasn't quite taken to lil Coop.

Digestion Digest

I have been keeping an ingestion journal that has turned into something I would like to make into a book one day. Will scan parts soon... (it's all done with a typewriter).

I showed it to Marisa Plumb.

Here is her response:


"i really like the cooking/journal pages you gave me, the voice seems really intertwined with the aesthetic of the text, and there seemed to be little slippages in the topical focus that sparked, in my little old brain, ideas about the sometimes turbulent nature of experience and linearity and mood........"

David Lynch Camp

Had a dream that I was in David Lynch Camp.

He appeared and told me that my challenge is to
"stay on the path... no matter what."

Then he disappeared and I was in a house full of mole guys. Guys who were not friendly. And I was to work on my stuff-- which involved writing and playing distorted bass. All I know is that these guys kept laughing at me. And if I entered a room they were in, they would all leave the room, whispering. I was feeling very left out and flustered.

David Lynch appeared again.
"Do what you do... no matter what."

Then I was in a room with my bass and was working on some feedback. And this guy comes in, smerky, and asks if I can turn it down. And I say, "I can't-- I'm doing feedback, if I turn it down there will be no feedback." And he was like, "well can you at least put some headphones on." And I respond, "well if I put headphones on, then I won't be using the amplifier, then there surely won't be any feedback."

Then he turned around and walked away and went into the other room where everyone started laughing. I felt a stride of confidence and walked into the room and said "What's up guys?" and they all whispered, giggled, then left me alone again in the room. I was feeling sad and confused.

David Lynch appeared again.

"Do not get distracted."

Stay on the path. No matter what.
