[D-G] greshems's law

[Chapman]

oh boy, yeah.
jus' big- old cyril sneers

hanging out abt 200 yards from shore and then further on
they go surfing off to the left away from them
damn cold water. a volleyball tournament there in the summer
cannon beach is right around the corner

i remember that they sell bugles
you couldn't buy those in vancouver and i was infinitely pleased when the
price on the box was the same price as the one at the till

oregon rocks

!!!

see i think canada is the state of becoming-a-trigonometer. you always
compute 7% of 7% tax... that and we play hockey on a smooth white surface
which gets striated by parallel skates that chase a little black hole you
can't touch except with your hand-extender-stick, which also helps out
with...trigonometry. (massumi is wrong about soccer, that game is not abt.
simulacrums, its all face to face and no interpretation).

the problem is that canada is always doing this equation and it means that
we think all limits are thresholds, things to commune over. (sometimes a
haystack is just a haystack).

what's up with old-stuff? are deleuzians feeling their mortalities? i know i
am
