NEW WRITING ABOUT RADIATION, PARANOIA, EGOS, LETTERS, STRANGERS, HUMAN CONDITION, ENNUI, LONELINESS, COSMIC ONENESS

Have a couple of new posts up over at The Nervous Breakdown.

The first one is called “The Plume,” and it’s about that plume of radiation that floated across the Pacific to America last week.  And it’s about radiation and paranoia in general.  And it’s also about my ego.  And MacGuyver.

The second one is called “Excerpts from Letters I Received from Strangers.”  The title pretty much explains it:  It’s about these letters I received from strangers.  In it, I offer short, anonymous excerpts from a bunch of the letters I got from people I don’t really know, the cumulative effect of which ranges from crushingly sad to kind of inspiring. 

Okay.

PS.  That photo up above was taken in the Hollywood Hills a couple of weeks ago.  I included it for no real reason.  Just a nice view….
