It occurs to me . . .

. . . that I may have been in one of them hypnagogic states you hear tell of.

    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.

    You been readin that Trollope feller?

  5. Sheila Ryan on September 1st, 2008 at 5:47 pm

    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.

  6. Daryl Scroggins on September 1st, 2008 at 6:00 pm

    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.

  9. Sheila Ryan on September 1st, 2008 at 10:07 pm

    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

  13. alek on September 2nd, 2008 at 4:52 am

    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.

  15. Cooper Renner on September 2nd, 2008 at 10:25 am

    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.
