more transparency

half-life of ghosts by Ted Warnell.

peijaiset

Tomorrow I'll be at the Kirjallisuuspeijaiset, in the Center of Contemporary Art of Pispala in Tampere, with Janne Nummela. There'll be two laptops, two video projectors, improvised and pseudo-improvised writing on the screen, among perhaps some interactive live vispo, and a band called Kirjailijan yhtye playing some ambient music. We haven't had time to rehearse even once, so it's impossible to say how it's going to be like, but I think it will be lots of fun, at least to ourselves. The audience, of course, might disagree.

kiss me beneath the milky twilight

i'm only sleeping

please don't wake me, no don't shake me

(The original version of this was written in summer 2002.)

a bookish survey

I was invited to this by Paal, so here we go.

1. One book that changed your life:
Rännak impampluule riiki by Valdur Mikita. I just wish I could read Estonian better than I do.

2. One book you’ve read more than once:
The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

3. One book you’d want on a desert island:
In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust sounds quite suitable for the situation (even though it's not one book).

4. One book that made you giddy:
I love repeating, so let's say Adams once again.

5. One book that wracked you with sobs:
Hmm. I'm sure there must be at least one such book, but I can't recall any right now.

6. One book that you wish had been written:
Something with my name on it, ha ha.

7. One book you wish had never been written:
This is a weird question.

8. One book you’re currently reading:
24 Declassified, Operation Hell Gate, by Marc Cerasini. Actually, I'm sort of close-reading this one, since I'm translating it.

9. One book you’ve been meaning to read:
Visuelle Poesie 1965-2005 by Klaus Peter Dencker.

10. Now tag five bloggers:
Elina, Karri, Mikael, Rita, Sirpa.

zero point

Drag black dots onto the paper and reach for your inner zero point. (The piece is based on Nollapiste (Zero Point), a book by Osmo Jokinen, consisting only of empty pages and a few small black dots. The book was originally published in 1964 and then more recently, in 2004, as a Dutch translation with the title Nulpunt.)
