Journal / i know the ‘wait for me’ is streaming on npr, and probably some other places, too.

oh, i know the ‘wait for me’ is streaming on npr, and probably some other places, too. but we’ve also put some of the songs up on moby.com (this cool little mp3 player thing, i don’t know how it works, but it does) and myspace and elsewhere. and thank you for your really nice comments about ‘wait for me’. it’s really gratifying and humbling to work hard on a very personal body of work and have people (well, some people) respond positively.

in other news, in between phone interviews today i was looking at microscopic images of bacteria. or bacterium? is that the plural? bacterii? and i realized that microscopic images of bacteria/um/ii look a lot like telescopic images of galaxies. i wonder if from an ontological or quantum perspective it even makes sense to refer to anything as having qualities of size, as all matter (if there is even such a thing as matter at a quantum level) is in a constant state of fluidity and flux. in any case i think it’s cool that baby bacteria look like distant galaxies. here are 2 pictures (galaxies first, bacteria second).

Bacteria

oh, some of the bacteria are permafrost bacteria. it’s amazing that bacteria can be frozen for thousands of years and come back to life. kind of like walt disney.
