&¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨ NOT ACTUALLY A PALACE. A COTTAGE IN THE ¨¨¨&&¨¨&&&
¨¨&&¨¨&¨¨& WOODS (TEMPERATE CLIMATE, RAINS EVERY &&¨¨¨¨¨¨&&
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ OTHER DAY, SPRINGS AND STREAMS AND ¨¨¨&&&&¨¨¨
&&&&&&&&&& MYSTERIOUS IRON AND STONE ARTIFACTS, &&¨¨&&¨¨&&
&&&&&&&&&& BIRDLAND-ISH ETERNAL SPRING (LATE &¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&
&&&&&&&&&¨ SPRING)) ¨¨&&&&&&¨¨
¨&&&&&&&¨¨ &¨¨&&&&¨¨¨
¨¨&&&&&¨¨& ~ ¨¨¨¨&&¨¨&&
¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨ ¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
&&¨¨&¨¨&&¨ I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AT SIX AM. IT'S ¨¨¨¨&&&&&&
&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ DARK, AND THE STARS ARE OUT, BUT THE &&&¨¨&&&&&
¨¨&&&&&&&& SUN IS ABOUT TO RISE. ITS A LONG DAY, &&¨¨¨¨&&&&
¨¨¨&&&&&&& BEFORE IT FADES TO NIGHT AGAIN, AND &¨¨&&¨¨&&¨
&&¨¨&&&&&& THEN IT STAYS SO UNTIL I FALL ASLEEP. ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨&&&&& IT DOESN'T RISE UNLESS I'VE HAD MY &&&&&&&&&¨
&&&&¨¨&&&¨ DREAMS. &&&&&&&&¨¨
¨&&¨¨¨¨&¨¨ &&&&&&&¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨&&¨¨¨¨ § ¨&&&&&¨¨&&
¨&&¨¨¨¨&&& ¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨&&¨¨&& IN THIS COTTAGE THERE'S A LOT OF RADIO ¨¨¨&¨¨&&&&
¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨& EQUIPMENT, SOUND STUFF, SYNTHS, TAPE &&¨¨¨¨¨&&¨
¨¨¨¨&&&&¨¨ PLAYERS. PEN AND PAPER, BOOKS, CAMERAS, &¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨
&&&¨¨&&¨¨& MIRRORS, PRISMS, AND VARIOUS THINGS TO ¨¨¨¨&¨¨&&&
&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ DO ART WITH. THE FRIDGE IS FILLED WITH &&&¨¨¨¨¨&&
&¨¨&&&&&&¨ DIFFERET FOODS, ALL OF THEM INTRIGUING, &&¨¨&&&¨¨&
¨¨¨¨&&&&¨¨ SLIGHTLY WEIRD. &¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨
&&&¨¨&&¨¨¨ ¨¨&&¨¨¨&&&
&&¨¨¨¨¨¨&& & &¨¨¨¨&¨¨&&
&¨¨&&&&¨¨¨ ¨¨&&¨¨¨¨¨&
¨¨¨¨&&¨¨&& I HAVE FRIENDS - THERE'S A CAT, AND A &¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨
&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ DOG (WHO IS RIDICOLOUSLY LARGE AND ¨¨&&¨¨&¨¨&
&&¨¨&&&&&& WANTS TO BE THE BIG SPOON). I LISTEN TO &¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨&&&&¨ THE SHORTWAVE RADIO, AND TRANSMIT A BIT ¨¨&&&&&&&¨
&&&&¨¨&&¨¨ MYSELF, SONGS AND POETRY, AND FOUND &¨¨&&&&&¨¨
¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨& SOUNDS FROM THE FOREST. THE OTHERS TELL ¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨&&&&¨¨ OF THEIR LIVES, PLAY THE GUITAR FOR ME, ¨&&¨¨&¨¨&&
¨&&¨¨&&¨¨& AND TELL TALES OF THE OLD WORLD. I ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ CONSIDER THEM FRIENDS AS WELL. &&&&&&&&&&
¨&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&¨
¨¨&&&&&&&& £ ¨&&&&&&&¨¨
&¨¨&&&&&&¨ ¨¨&&&&&¨¨&
¨¨¨¨&&&&¨¨ MOST IMPORTANTLY, THERE'S A TWO SQUARE &¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨
&&&¨¨&&¨¨¨ METER AREA ON THE FLOOR WHERE I CAN ¨¨¨¨&¨¨&&&
&&¨¨¨¨¨¨&& "SAVE" THINGS. WHATEVER I PUT IN HERE &&&¨¨¨¨¨&&
&¨¨&&&&¨¨¨ WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY THE NIGHTLY &&¨¨&&&¨¨&
¨¨¨¨&&¨¨&& RESET. EVERYTHING ELSE, HOWEVER, IS ¨¨¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨
&&&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ COMPLETELY RESET OVERNIGHT: SYNTH &&&&¨¨¨&&&
&&¨¨&&&&&& PATCHES REMOVED, FOOD UNEATEN, WOUNDS &&&¨¨&¨¨&&
&¨¨¨¨&&&&¨ HEALED, AND WHEREVER AND WHENEVER I'D &&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&
¨¨&&¨¨&&¨¨ FALL ASLEEP I'D ALWAYS WAKE UP FULLY &¨¨&&&&&¨¨
&¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ RESTED IN MY BED. SOMETIMES THERE'S ¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨&
¨¨&&&&&&&& ACCIDENTS WHERE I LOSE STUFF BY &&&¨¨&¨¨¨¨
&¨¨&&&&&&¨ FORGETTING TO PUT THEM IN THE SQUARE. &&¨¨¨¨¨&&&
¨¨¨¨&&&&¨¨ ¨¨¨&&&¨¨&&
¨&&¨¨&&¨¨¨ ¨ &&¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨&& &¨¨¨¨¨&&&&
¨&&&&&&¨¨¨ AT NIGHT, I HAVE DEMI-LUCID DREAMS ¨¨&&&¨¨&&¨
¨¨&&&&¨¨&& WHERE THE SPIRITS OF THE FOREST AROUND ¨¨¨&¨¨¨¨¨¨
&¨¨&&¨¨¨¨¨ THE COTTAGE TRIES TO COMMUNICATE. HERE, &&¨¨¨&&&&&
¨¨¨¨¨¨&&&& IT'S NOT ENDLESS BUT CONNECTED TO A ¨¨¨&¨¨&&&&
¨&&&&¨¨&&¨ LARGE SPRAWLING CITY, WHERE MY RADIO &&¨¨¨¨¨&&¨
¨¨&&¨¨¨¨¨¨ FRIENDS LIVE. WE GO EXPLORING TOGETHER &¨¨&&&¨¨¨¨
&¨¨¨¨&&&&¨ - THINGS ARE DEEP AND DARK - BUT UNLIKE ¨¨¨¨&¨¨&&&
¨¨&&¨¨&&¨¨ ME, THEY NEVER REMEMBER DURING THE DAY. ¨&&¨¨¨¨¨&&
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ THIS IS A MYSTERY WE OFTEN DISCUSS. ¨¨¨¨&&&¨¨¨
