Goodnight, Foggy
Thank you, as always. I’ve gotten a lot out of this little experiment of yours and I’m glad that you’re a part of this place. I hope you continue to check back here, as well as on your official site.
I’m really looking forward to the new album, poetry book, art show and whatever else you decide to put out there. It’s been said a million times in here, but your obvious work ethic and continuous creative output is very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
I started the Philip K. Dick novel after finishing my last midterm this morning. I’m only on the third chapter and I’ve yet to fully understand where Foggy fits in (there are hints, but that’s all at this point), but I now know where Darryl Hannah the Robotic Cat comes from. And just the opening scene between Rick, his wife, and their mood organ was enough to keep my mind happily racing through the dull points of my lectures this afternoon. I’m really looking forward to reading the rest. I’ll wait to watch Bladerunner until after I’m done. It’s always better that way.
Oh, and Carl Sagan is one of my heroes as well. I missed having him as a professor by three years, unfortunately. The first book I read by him was “The Demon-Haunted World,” and it’s really stuck with me. I love his devotion to critical thinking and reason, and how he can make those things seem exciting, liberating and full of possibility, as opposed to dry, stuffy and static.
