ive been searching through the dead dude’s bag for everything that looks like a journal entry and i’m making a pile. this stuff gets strange. i’m trying to put in into some kind of order. it’s obvious that he went totally crazy at some point because some of these entries are written out clearly on paper, and others are scrawled illegibly across whatever he could find at the time.
it’s is very House of Leaves. here’s the part im thinking of:
“Endless snarls of words, sometimes twisting into meaning, sometimes into nothing at all, frequently breaking apart, always branching off into other pieces I’d come across later - on old napkins, the tattered edges of an envelope, once even on the back of a postage stamp; everything and anything but empty; each fragment completely covered with the creep of years and years of ink pronouncements; layered, crossed out, amended; handwritten, typed; legible, illegible; impenetrable, lucid; torn, stained, scotch taped; some bits crisp and clean, others faded, burnt or folded and refolded so many times the creases have obliterated whole passages of god knows what—sense? truth? deceit? a legacy of prophecy or lunacy or nothing of the kind?“
anyway, the pic above is a page from an old newspaper that fell out of one of the folders. based on what i’ve seen in the other docs, it seems like the dead dude may have been the dr. zimmerman from this article. sounds like he was into some freaky shit and so was his buddy whitaker.
color me unsurprised
