hei bev. thanks for video! looks interesting. will look through it when i come back from driving juanita to
the airstrip, she's having a long weekend down in kongsberg. meanwhile . . . quick pic
hello, i'm back now. we were early, so she took me to
the rica parken hotel for breakfast before we left ålesund - even paid for everything. a lot happened, but it's a long story.
the main thing is i'm safely back home. dropped her off at
the airstrip and she said she's coming back on tuesday and is going to buy me something nice from
the tax-free shop. so now i'm going to make me a nice cup
of tea and sit down to watch
the video. while i'm gone, here below is a picture that i like very much. it's called "i'm glad to hear you talk this way"
my goodness, what a lecture. now i know a lot less than i did yesterday. it got so complicated i seemed to lose
the thread, and started focusing on
the wrong things, such as his snow white neck, immaculate teeth, unusually thick caterpillar eyebrows,
the way his thumbs kept kissing, his uncallassed office worker hands and his perfect, uncluttered body. please do not think bad
of me, bev, but my mind just wandered because i lacked
the mental stamina to keep up with him as he read from
the rolling teleprompter. made me remember a lady journalist named vera kvaal who sat in front
of leonard at a conference. she said that halfway through, when everyone was fully engrossed in what
the speaker was saying, leonard turned around, leaned back, and asked her "do you write?"
as you know, earlobes betray a person's character just as much as
the chin - so i found myself studying
the astrophyicist's features as he spoke, because he had already lost me and i couldn't help it. very clever editing,
the way two sections were seemlessly joined during camera movements and zooming.
at times i wondered if i was being wound up, like that old turbo encabulator prank video, especially towards
the end when he seemed to enjoy constantly repeating
the word 'panspermia' - and i love
the australian accent. i might see 'crocodile dundee' again tonight.

anyway, don't get angry with me and forgive my shortcomings. i am basically just a simple-minded leonard cohen fan and hobby illustrator. in parting, i offer another useless sketch, trying to prove that just because i hold
the world record with substandard leonard cohen portraits it doesn't mean i can't attempt to do other people as well
