Emin, 'The Perfect Place to Grow'
I got home from work tonight at about 330. I went to turn on the TV, but it was static because of the digital conversion. I turned on NPR. Because it is the middle of the night here, it was the BBC. It’s like 9am there or something. I turned on the radio, and there was a proper-sounding English woman interviewing a hackneyassed English woman. The first sentence contained the words “rape” and “art” so I yelled “Tracey Emin!” at my radio as if I were on Jeopardy. Well, no, if I were on Jeopardy I would have yelled, “Who is Tracey Emin?” But I yelled her name, and sure enough, it was Tracey Emin. And I thought of how I liked Tracey Emin. And I thought of how my friend Danyel likes Tracey Emin. And I thought of how much I like my friend Danyel.
And damnit I’m glad the TV is just static. I’m glad.
