# How's the Ukrain situation?
I would give you money if:
a) some of it was going toward 16mm film to document the process

or

b) if I had any money.

Does this whole thing have anything to do with Herzog?

edit: Oh wait, I thought you were walking for some reason. Nevermind about the Herzog thing.

# well
a.) it would be difficult to get 16mm film or a bolex through customs, i think, so I'll be documenting mainly on my wimpy panasonic camcorder which I've used to shoot most of my claymations

and

b.) of course you have money.

also

c.) it doesn't have directly to do with Herzog but considering the unbearable cold weather of Ukraine in January, I imagine he'd give me kudos for following in his brave-the-elements path (though I won't be dealing with angry midgets or bears)

# oh, neat. i hope you have a blast.
why in hell did you choose january as visiting time there?

i was last there in '88 or so.

# thanks.
january was the only time i could go, unfortunately. the people i'm visiting were in america this summer, and i have the month of january off between semesters, so...

anyway yes i will be freezing my tits off but i intend to be so trashed as to not be able to feel it either way!

# i suggest deplaning in full 'ukrainian ethnic' garb as imagined and sewn by your local old people.
the one cousin i got on with there moved well south into andalucia long ago, last i heard from him he was in malaga. i'd offer travel tips but i wasn't there long enough to do so and i'm guessing things have changed in the last twenty years.

# indeed they have
while my friends in the country insist things are completely different, i have friends here in baltimore who came from ukraine maybe 10-12 years ago and insisted that i cut my hair and buy a tracksuit before i go there

# I know crazy Ukrainians
they're pretty crazy.

I don't talk to them anymore.

# well, craziness is directly proportional to attractiveness
so yes, ukrainian women at least are very, very crazy.

# While I enjoy such generalisations
I can not stand behind this one. I've been dealing with lots of crazy recently and I feel like it comes in all kinds of packaging.
