80s japanese electro- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tIE9DHQT0I whats not to like?

christmas time means looking after vaguely related children of your cousins. after a couple of unsuccessful attempts ive worked out exactly how to talk to children of the age of 3 to 10. ive compiled a list of subjects to discuss:

1.insects

2.bugs

3.snakes

(where you find all the above and whether you are scared of the above)

4.t.v shows like scooby doo

5.what the teachers say at school

for babies you pretty much just have to talk about general life business but put on exaggerated tones and facial expressions.

i have a pimple on my cheek which is painful.

i had a family wedding on sunday. my dad and i were stuck at a table with a brother and sister who were christian evangelists. they kissed each other on the mouth. we kept trying to have a normal conversation with them but it was impossible, they kept trying to convert us. dad ate wedding cake in the car and my cousin told us all about the conversation he had with dad about aliens. it turned out to not really be a discussion because that involves both parties to speak, instead it was just a monologue.

went to dinner last night and there were maggots in the chicken. thankfully it was on the plate of someone who i dont particularly like. but ive been put off turkey already.

miss my old room.

The vase contained only three flowers. . . I was no longer looking now at an unusal flower arrangement. I was seeing what Adam had seen on the morning of his creation- the miracle, moment by moment, of naked existence.

exert from an interview between Spike and Maurice

Spike Jonze: I think when people give you a reaction that is personal to them and you can tell it affected them in some way that they really thought about, and that touched them in some deeper way, I love that…

Maurice Sendak: Well, when it’s more than just, “I had fun reading your book,” or “What a funny story that was,” yes… I never intended it to be just a cute or funny story. I’m a tiresomely serious man, as well you know. Everything has to mean something. I remember the book I did called ‘Outside, Over There’, which I’m very fond of – a little girl wrote from Canada “You have disappointed me very much, I always liked your books but I hate this one, and I hope you die cordially.”

Spike Jonze: Bullshit! She didn’t write that.

Maurice Sendak: And then there was a note attached by her mother, saying “I wondered whether I should send this letter because it’s very harsh, it’s very rude, but she is so upset and she wanted so much to let you know that you upset her, that I felt it only right.” And she said, “By the way, I thought you should know, I’ve just had another child and she just can’t bear it that I have another child.” The book is about a girl that has to look after her baby sister – and that’s a nightmare for a lot a children – and she was furious. Children don’t know how to be polite – “I hope you die,” is what she said. (laughs)

Spike Jonze: That’s great!

Maurice Sendak: It was great because it was so real.

Spike Jonze: So real. She had to take out her confusion and frustration on someone, so it had to be you.

Maurice Sendak: And who’s better than me? She also said: “You scare me. Why do the babies have hoods over their heads? My mummy explained that sometimes the tailor makes a mistake and made the hoods too big, so if the hoods fit better you would see their faces and they wouldn’t be so scary. So that part I don’t blame you for.”

Spike Jonze: Ha ha! That’s great.

Maurice Sendak: I mean, when you get reactions like that, you know you’ve touched a button. But is it good? Did she need to be frightened? I needed to exorcise this little anxiety of mine –that was my need. And I wasn’t thinking of her needs… but she always made me cry.

Spike Jonze: How come?

Maurice Sendak: Because of how easy it is to hurt somebody, or push the wrong button... I entered where I had not been invited. I just blundered in and what was making her unhappy was simply that another child taking up room in the house, and was going to take her mother’s attention from her. It was just unbearable.

because she is the best looking woman in the world
