Gripped by the Annie Proulx book but slightly ashamed of my infidelity to Rebecca West. All these songs arc either one note Joes or monocycles. #eno

Interesting idea of having one’s identity moulded entirely by official errors. To grumble is one thing but to have it in writing is another. #eno

The Creepy Crawly room is the worst display I’ve ever seen in a museum a meaningless confusion of scales and materials and interactive things that don’t work or even worse do. Nice visit. #eno

And it seems obvious to me that governments have been giving every help to these two groups of crypto fascists Croats and Serbs about how to achieve that end. Alice likes me and she’s a really sweet and individual little person. #eno

Camille Paglia says that government and socialization are what civilizes us not what robs us of pure instinct as Rousseau supposed and I find myself wanting government to take more seriously its civilizing function to establish and defend a set of international behavioural standards. To 10. #eno

And there is a third very deep level. The mujahidin in Bosnia are a threat though because they provide Serbs and Croats with an easy ideological target: You see we told you these Bosnians were fundamentalists. #eno

Her voice reminds me of Joan which makes me realize a lot about the origins of Joan’s voice: I shall never be able to separate them from now on. How does Anthea stay so cool through things like this? Will be glad when it’s over. #eno
