Attempts on her life

"Fuck college,' someone commented here yesterday, 'this journal does the job'.

I'm aware that this is turning into Postmodernism 101, so I thought I'd make a casual entry today talking about more human and down-to-earth things. ('But aren't you just trying to claim some kind of moronic authenticity with this stance, Nick?' Shut up!)



The play I'm doing has been hard work, with rehearsals daily. Then again, on a grey, cold and rainy autumn day, there's really nothing nicer than being in a darkened space with actors and lights. The first performance of 'Angriffe Auf Anne' by Martin Crimp -- with music by me and Kaori Mitsushima -- in front of an audience is at 8pm on November 16th, at the Hochschule Ernst-Busch here in Berlin. If you're in town, come along!

Ist Anne Terroristin?
Ist Anne Künstlerin?
Ist Anne Nichtraucherin?
Ist Anne ein Auto?
Ist Anne?

It's Turner Prize season again. Check out the contenders on Tate Britain's site.

The Private World of Kenneth Williams is a BBC Radio 4 programme in which David Benson reads excerpts from the stately homo's diaries in a tremendously good impersonation. Things get fairly nightmarish towards the end, as Williams' loneliness and sexual repression mount.

Um...I haven't talked to her myself, but by most accounts Sybil still alive (the coroner has no listing for her and there were no accidents on that part of 79 that night...there are other holes in the story as well, but those are all I've seen first hand). You can read my journal for the details. I'm not sure why she did it, but it seems like it was either a pointed attack at someone (possibly me) or a joke that missed its mark. I used to have the journal musicconcrete...I suggested you listen to some of her music...I know her pretty well, but I still haven't figured this one out.

If I find out that this comment isn't true, I'll come back and immediately correct it...but I've read journal entries from people who say she's fine. Apparently she threw even her friends for a loop.

But still...czech out the music and films at kojapan.com and music at kojpan.com/planet.html. It's all awesome stuff. I did the music for the film Signals in my dorm room last semester...obviously without the help of a metronome. That film was a good collaboration for she and I, though.

Again, I haven't talked to her myself...so I haven't really accepted anything fully at this point. But listed above is what I've seen or heard from other people...and I hope for all the world that she is fine.

Wow, if that's indeed a hoax, it's pretty extraordinary.

She has a twin sister, no? An identical twin sister?

Yes...twins...but not identical. You'd never confuse them in person, but they sound the same over the phone. Sybil and Sarah. Sarah has a journal too, but I haven't czeched it in long time (it might be deleted). I'm not going to put a link up because it might be intended to be private...but I could give it to you in some private way (e-mail, IM, or some such thing).

I saw one of Sybil's IM names log onto Instant Messenger last night...so unless it was someone else (which it may have been)...Sybil is fine.

I've been braced for the worst and hoping for the best since I read the journal.

I'll keep you posted with anything I hear...but I get the feeling no one is going to tell me anything directly for a while.

So...I'm still braced for the worst and hoping for the best...until I see her or hear from her myself.

But I do encourage everyone to continue czeching out her sites. But you might not have to think about what she could have done...just kick back and watch the things that she actually does.

If I step back from it and totally remove myself from the situation, I can see some humor in a hoax as grand as this...but a lot of my friends in Edinboro and Chambersburg have vowed to kill her on sight if it is a hoax.

I don't think I could handle it if it wasn't a hoax--so I'm clinging to that. I'm really hoping that I run into her on campus at some point (it's a small school...if she's here I'll see her eventually).

Again--if I hear differently I'll post as soon as I can.

Do you enjoy going to school in Edinboro? I visited a friend up there on Halloween weekend and it struck me as a rather depressing place...
