Last night Liza came over bearing a box of lentil pilaf, which we augmented with vegetables and Annies for a hearty, tasty gruel that we couldn't eat more than half of. I was a little bit apprehensive about being with her before we had our dis cus sion but it was fine, she frolicked but didn't try to touch me, it was pretty natural. She had been more or less expecting it, and was somewhat dissapointed but pretty much okay. I told her a lot about the Beta Band and my grandparents. She talked about assorted artists and ideas, or mumbled rather, she talks so quiet sometimes it drives me crazy. I played "Frontier Psychiatrist" for her and she remembered having seen the video on MTV a while ago. I don't understand that since the album hasn't even come out in the States yet, but whatever. I found it online and we watched it; it's a really cool video for a great song, check it out. That inspired me to show her some of the Bjork videos from Volumen. I couldn't get the computer hooked up to the TV (a piece is missing), and it was making weird squeaks for a while. Then she left to do her polysci work and I read about orgies in Pynchon.
