the golden emperor speaks ex cathedra, pars secunda

ex cathedra is latin for "from the throne". it refers to papal infallibility. i'm referring to being on the toilet. because that's where i am right now. laptops are cool. actually i've got one laptop on top of another on top of my lap. an emperor must be conspicuous at all times.

as my demands have not yet been met, i have no intention of returning to indiana this week. the one you call "roger" is my hostage. only the golden emperor remains to speak.

though i graduated top of my class i have always cultivated a zen like disinterest in the practice of law. law for me is uninterupted life. in the words of a great man,



"i am, the law."

and here in montreal that is made truth by popular will. this is pure rouseau stuff. i am the sovreign by virtue of my spinning. i can sniff out rare tracks like a bloodhound. i have tracks devendra banhart ahsn't even written yet. out here charisma is the only power. whatever i look upon becomes mine. yet to own all is isolating. my fortune cookie said "unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens". the essence of desire is in not possessing. once we own a thing a person the desire dies and is replaced by possesiveness which is exactly what killed my marriage because she was jealous (womanizer sounds like a machine that makes women doesnt it?). as i once said to win butler, "after i bought it [neon bible] i knew i had to hide it it was so precious"

so here i am gretchen, perry, chris (wherever you are). do you want me? here's to the chase.

  1. No, Rob, If you'd like a new chair ask Gretchen for a requisition and Donald will check the budget. I don't know how your missing days will be factored in. Sometimes I'm surprised that I'm younger than you people. Anyway, hope you're having a great day at work today, Robert! If you need any help let me know! did you notice the card I left on your desk?
