    Oh. So you were home the whole time.

    Remember that road film of mine? You don’t think that involved any location shooting, do you?

    The art resides in the suspension of reality.

    I dunno what Michael’s been reading, but I’ve read that Trollope feller’s mama’s Domestic Manners of the Americans, and it’s a pip.

    Okay. Henry James then.

    Oh, I’ve read that Henry James feller (even though Cooper don’t much care for him). I’m funny that way.

    I never read books by authors with two first names.

    Not even Bill James?

    did you not know that the hypnagogic state was a form of transportation?
    ‘you’ve stared at the sun
    you are the one
    who likes changing from nothing
    to one’

    Now I may be wrong but I was under the impression the ‘Hypnagogic State’ was a buffer zone between the states of Israel and Palestine

    don’t say that or Haggis will go off on one again

    but you know these are a very beautiful combination sheila, i’ll wander round your hypnagogic state any time, even cross the red sea

    Thank you, Alek. The entrance, you know, is through the looking-glass at the lower left.

    Did you really read Trollope’s mother’s book? Is it really a pip?

  16. Sheila Ryan on September 2nd, 2008 at 10:36 am

    Indeed I have, and yes, it is. Of course, I go in for that sort of thing.
