Following the election results - amazing. Thought he was a goner, but his victory is exposing every crack and chink, every flaw and worm in the system. The people have spoken and they've voted not for evil and competent, but evil and interesting, entertaining, and just maybe, just maybe...

What have we come to that this is the better of any two options? The Republicans, so riddled with misgivings and remorse over a clearly bad choice, are going through nothing compared to what the Democrats are going through...time to say it, folks, the system is broke...
I look forward to their introspection. John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, SNL, anyone? This will be good. Prepare for an influx of quality entertainment, Canada...

...that my Uncle M*** and P** (both estranged) are in a white room, working on little dioramas, "Bow Tie Whales" they explain to me, and I can't understand, looking at what they've done, "Bow Whales? about 100 feet long" I ask, and they agree...
Now, in a submarine, following, harvesting, a diminishing school of fish, herded for us by the bow whales, time to surface, turn back, I suggest, there's an Asian woman, older, working the periscope, and she tells me that we are short our quota of 5 Bow Tie whales by - exactly - 5 Bow Tie whales, but I'm the captain and we can turn back if I insist...

Suggestive, symbolic, finger condoms, the gooey flour paste lathered over pornographic magazines to make papier mache masks, glue squeezed out of a tube, tightly clutched joysticks, the absence of real and meaningful connection, filled with surreptitious and knowing glances, tactile sensory imagery, the characters discover that their elaborate fantasies have real world repercussions, and they are as much the victims of the fantasies as they are their authors...
Finally something that doesn't adhere to the American cultural narrative, worthwhile...

In a Stadium, or perhaps on the edges of a walled city, there's an older guy, late 20's, maybe early thirties, a skateboarder and magician, he's running around all charming, we're in a stairwell, it turn's out he's the boys brother...
...I look at K****, the boy's mother, she doesn't want to discuss it, then relents and explains to me that a few years before we met, in Montreal,...anyways, she doesn't like this child, though he seems well adjusted enough...
We're in the wall, around the city or the stadium, and the newfound brother takes off, he's got to do a show or something, and the boy and I are both perplexed, there are a lot of questions to be sure...
(remembered this a few hours after I woke, details are missing, peculiar dream...)
