It gets weirder
I got an email today, with a bunch of images attached, and an address. I wrote back, and the email bounced.
I have no idea what to make of it.
I know they found her body, and I don’t know if someone’s trying to tell me something.

Well. One good thing has come out of this madness. (Is that too crass to say? It might be.) I got an art exhibition from someone Jack put me in touch with.
Also. It’s really weird. I went to make tea this morning, and found a photograph of a man in my sugar bowl. He had a moustache. I have no idea how it got there.

I called Jack. Jesus Christ. Sooooo. Uh. Right. A) This is one of those instances when not having a television is a Really Bad Thing. B) This is also one of those instances where avoiding the news means I miss things. Like. This woman named Amanda Palmer. Apparently missing. For a while. The police came and picked up the photos. Evidence, they said. Though I don’t know how. If...

I Should Have Put It Back In The Rabbit Hole
I've gotten a bunch of comments and messages on my Flickr account about the photographs. Someone said I should take them to the police, but I think they were joking. Someone else said the girl in the photos was named Miss Palmer, but I don't know who that is. Then, yesterday, I got a message from wkapfm.com, asking if I was on IM. He sent me a message soon after.
Jack: what is this?
Me: Excuse me?
Jack: the photographs. what kind of twisted shit is that.
Me: Oh. Yeah, aren't they weird? Some art school thing, I guess.
Jack: ...
Me: Hello?
Jack: you don't know?
Me: Know what?
Jack: Fuck. how is that possible? look, let me give you a number to call. I think we need to talk.
. . .
I haven't called him yet. I'm a little nervous.

Right. So I got my camera back up and running, and uploaded the photos from yesterday to my Flickr account. Hooray. I’ve posted several of the photos from my walk yesterday here— I was taking the shortcut on the bank alongside the train tracks, like I usually do, and taking photos of everything, like I usually do.
Pretty train, pretty tracks.
Normally I’m nimble and quick when I dip...

I went for a walk today, just to get some fresh air. Needed to stop staring at a computer for a few hours, and not be near the phone! The good thing is I was working from home today, soooo. It’s a much nicer walk. I found this weird art project thing when I went out, though. I think someone abandoned it, or threw it away? I might send it into Found. Here’s a really bad scan...

…unlike what one might expect of a technology museum, throughout all of the exhibits, the boundaries between history and fiction, magic and reason, narrative and scientific method are in completely fluid (and the curators pleasurably make no effort to make things more clear, even indulge in elaborate descriptions and allusions that make it even more mysterious).
“The whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which...”
