„Everybody wants to own the end of the world.“ In Don DeLillos novel Zero K , we meet Ross Lockharts son, who is travelling to a far away place to meet his father and his fathers second wife Artis.

Lobedentag. Das war als, auch, Programm gemeint, für ihr ganzes Leben. Lobe den Tag, verdammt nochmal. Und zwar nicht erst am Abend, sondern ständig, zu jeder vollen und halben Stunde.

Der Blog als Reisebeschreibung Verschlüsselt natürlich.
