Death and the new year


(photo: cemetary in Kyoto, Japan. August 2007)

this is how to start the new year - thinking about death. i am working on a novel about six people, all of whom had a loved one die in some way that was distressing (more so than a normal death). what a fun time i have writing this! jeez. i keep Radiohead's song, Videotape, in mind. listen to it. a sweet, sorrowful love song about one's own death. in typical radiohead fashion, it is both depressing and redemptive at the same time.

on itunes right now: Juliet Turner - an Irish folksinger - singing the britney spears hit, Toxic.
