So anyways......... Welcome to the Paradigm Lost. We're down here in the Kootenays where the air seems fresher and the water clearer. Last night I dreamt I was an eagle. I think I was Don Henley, seeing as he is the only band member I can remember. I'm travelling with my shaman/bingo partner Jimmy Six-Cadillacs. We are here to unearth booty of all shapes and sizes(although Jimmy could care less as to whether a table is a Nakashima or a Mr. Miyagi). To Jimmy a table is a table is a table and a chair is a chair is a chair and function doesn't follow anything. Jimmy Six-Cadilacs is the most unpretentious person I have ever met - I once asked him whether Dolph Lundgren, Hollywood action man's, full name was Dolphin or Adolph? Jimmy replied he has never heard of Dolph Lundgren as he had never read a single book in his whole life, nor owned a T.V. - But the thing with Jimmy was he could read an aura at 2 kilometers and more importantly than that, he could play twelve bingo cards simultaneously which in my mind made him some kind of numerical genious. Today we explored the Grand, Grand Forks and scored ourselves a funky old tobacco tin in fire engine red, then we spied a second hand store off the tourist track and found a wicked, new old stock 1950's Barrel Shade(we will be back on Wednesday to pick up the brother & sisters of this shade in other colours!), a vintage desk a la Clockwork Orange and lastly, but definitely not leastly a life sized carved wooden horse head. We've called him The Godfather and he hangs above our bed. All in all just another day with Zangbell & Gill.....Stay well, stay posted. P.S Off to Nelson in the morning. |
