“A manananggal with earphones is hovering over her turntable lower half. A banner that says ‘fresh cuts’ floats above. This means “sariwang hiwa” in Filipino; a street slang term in reference to DJ’ing.”

Coz it’s my pop’s 50th today, and if I had it, I’d submit that photo of him—Beatles hair and tight, high-waisted jeans on a big bike. I’ll never be as awesome as that.

“Unnurtured elsewhere, the New Aestheticist writer must perforce be a great and wide reader, taking heart from, for instance, classical Chinese poetry, Willa Cather, and van Gogh’s letters, such as the one where he complains of his contemporaries that “they do not admire enough.” Fortunately, the New Aestheticist cares little for self-expression, for his or her own special individual specialness. They are just as happy to see beauty in another’s work as to make it themselves. They tend to be translators. They do not fear accusations of plagiarism. They look backward, and outward.”

“In this respect, I can’t help regarding medicine cabinets, vacuum cleaners and dead sharks as reckless investments. Somewhere out there in collectorland is the unlucky guy who will be the last one holding the vacuum cleaner, and wondering why.”
