I read NOT THE LIFE FOR ME, by Jammie Attenberg, at Huffington post, about her IRISH-Dublin experience. i always enjoy Jammie’s stuff, be it photographs or text. i take it she didn’t kiss anyone in Dublin then, as is expected when one swaps apartments. She is one talented girl.
i am still working like a maniac. there is a major heat wave here and my flat is like a steam room. in this steamroom, however, i wrote a novella in 3 days, (6.500 words in 2 days and 9.500 words in seven days). i wrote a short story in another 3 days, and i am beginning another short story today. as i have never written so much in so little time, i am very proud of this.
then, in August, i have to work on my other novella, ALL THE APPLES, that is to be published in October. This needs so much work. i am getting really late with my literary reviews, i suspect that the newspaper people are already pissed at me for missing deadlines, but i am writing so much literature and am so happy and enthusiastic about it.
my review on Andy Warhol’s philosophy was published on Saturday- i so loved this book. (if you follow the link it will all be greek to you!)
here are some quotations i love
“”people often have sex out of nostalgia for sex that has been had in the past.”"
“”other people take up a lot of space in bed”"
“”some people gain energy by having sex, but some people lose it. If you are one of the former, you ‘d better not do it at all”

Most of all i love his counter-misery perspective to life. Warhol is a bit of a punk if you ask me.
“”my mom doesn’t love me”" So what?
“”my husband doesn’t fuck me”". So what?
see what i mean? the punks said, “deal with it”‘. Warhol says, “”so what?”"
[i love Andy Warhol.]
i have translated the quotations by memory from the greek translation, so please, just put up with this, and accept my apologies.
