Wednesday, March 20, 1985 Amos has a crushed vertebra At first the vet said it was a sore leg and then he said a slipped disc So I slept on the floor with hiht I' aon the Joan Collins portrait and on sora that they wanted to show allthat they wanted to show all my art on The Love Boat The Love Boat, too The story is that I go on The Love Boat The Love Boat and there's a girl on the boat named Mary with her husband, and she used to be a superstar of mine, and she doesn't want her husband to know that she used to be ”Marina Del Rey” And I just have a few lines, things like ”hello, Mary” But one of the lines I have to say is so like ”Art is crass coirl on the boat named Mary with her husband, and she used to be a superstar of mine, and she doesn't want her husband to know that she used to be ”Marina Del Rey” And I just have a few lines, things like ”hello, Mary” But one of the lines I have to say is so like ”Art is crass commercialism,” which I don't want to say

And then we called up Paul, the exercise trainer orks for Lidija, and ere right near his apartdon Square down there, a nice neighborhood, and so ent over there, and God, it's so strange when you finally see where a person lives, and it's just soIit for a year or so, and now the woman who he sublet it from is back and she's about forty, and like a hippie ants to get backing for a restaurant, and their beds are just like next to each other, and they aren't in the aparto home when the other one is there, so you feel like you're not really living anyplace I guess that that's when your life is really interesting, though, because it keeps you out there in action and getting into weird situations But I hs) this (laughs) this, it's so abstract You know? But I don't understand why he could leave the place like such a duet futons and not waste space with the beds And it would really only have taken a couple of hours to pick the place up once while she was gone in Europe all that tiht walk to pass right through the crowd He o to the bathrooirls putting onin the urinals and it'd be great if it weren't that it suess the ladies rooot out of there and went home Oh, and that lady at the Whitney as so thrilled over Jean Michel, she got hi it, and then you paste it to the back That's why Leo sends raphs sometimes
