whatever foolishness might've been at the beginning of this, there's landscape on the other end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPy8VGwp-W4

After a farcical couple of months writing back and forth with a woman called Ilo about trying to aqcuire some digital copies of Waterman's Hunter slides (she kept evading my efforts in ways that started to seem like a kind of method to keep me as a source of attention to her ego ramblings, ultimately stating she wasn't feeling it in her right to send me anything), I did finally get a reply from the Alaskan Alpine Club, who are in possession of all the original material and who granted me access, suggesting I come to Fairbanks and help them sort through it.. I much wish for this to happen but after having already planned another hike (some time back), I'm not sure when I'll be able to exactly. Will work for it.

 last night's dream- I'm stumbling through a maze of effect doors and stage hand areas, getting in people's ways, all of which are doing their jobs, performing made up Japanese masking rituals, smearing through the paint, almost getting stuck in an automatic shoot, crossing into plushed up bridal waiting areas and the crystal rooms next door where a bunch of partnerlook bridesmaids are partying and gazing angrily at me as I drag mask paint all over the fluffy carpet, through a catering area where an intern takes pity and hands me a meal of cooked dog with red cabbage which I truthfully decline. I am desperately trying to find my way to the landscape but it is always behind something in service to the great commodity of a show somewhere being done by a main act whom I passed in silence in the back of a hall. I'm a stranger to every one there, like a critter in the backdrop. Awoke with the tenseness of that feeling in my jaw.. outside a man was screaming three times by the Schleuse. It was loud but demonstrative, I didn't hear urgency or necessity in his voice.
