12.4.24 want to read more about: portugal + empire in the 20th century. PiS pegasus spyware probe, peter ivers, cinderella stamps, UNITA / FLEC, scarf, EUR in Rome, fred c koch constructing nazi refinery, RAND viet cong motivation studies, the engine (Gulliver's Travels )... was also reading about terpenes on wikipedia. didn't know it was another kekulé coinage (or derived from turpentine). if you keep reading you can learn about how termites of the nasutitermitinae subfamily shoot terpenes at their enemies .. the 'fontanellar gun.' exited about cragale, studio 12, m squared ... listening schaflose nächte, height/dismay, RNA organism, nexda, stephen mallinder. walking around the city and hearing strange sounds from unseen creatures in strollers. no one got their 15 minutes of fame but we all got to be the bromley contingent. untitled (gold knot) - sherrie levine
