cedez+i had a wonderful tromp in the snow last night....i've rarely had the experience, if ever of walking on completely fresh, unmarred snow in nyc...in conclusion, existential talks+snowday walks-tuesday was a true fact-delight.

i've been listening to a lot of this cass mccombs song:
"i went to the hospital"
..................in which he sings, "i wanna be famous for falling in love."

might even say it's influencing this artist statement in a nice melancholy fashion..
(as it pretty well vibes with some existential leanings of mine: see simone de beauvoir-my new favorite existentialist. [p.s.
anyhoo, have a listen if you've never, or it's been awhile.
