I drive into Mendo to return the movie. I'm walking down Ukiah street, and suddenly Rimbaud is right there. It's not possession trance -- I'm still here. But it's not imagination, either. Now, I've always been skeptical of people who call themselves Orion or Ecktar and charge you $400 to hear a bunch of Beings from Uranus tell you that you ought to love one another. So when I started claiming to channel Entities from the Half-Astral Plane, it was supposed to be a joke... |

I stop at a yard sale. There's a little cloth doll for 25 cents. He wants it. I buy it for him and put it on the altar. But I will NOT write Christopher Hampton's name on it. And no pins. I'm not that kind of a witch. |  |

| Remember the time of your life when you were the most fucked up and confused. Imagine someone made a movie out of it - every shitty thing you did. But not one word about what you were going through, or what you did to get yourself out of it. How would you feel? |
