Hao Jiu Bu Jian
Clayton, by John Guillory
Hao jiu bu jian! (好久不見), Chinese for “Long time, no see.” And for this, I must apologize. It’s been a full 18 months since the last issue. It has taken quite some time to recover creatively to a point where I feel confident in expressing myself again. Recover, that is, from the death of my parents, within 7 months of each other, in late 2003 and early 2004. It has also been 5 years since the premier issue of moocat.net, back in the fall of 2001. To celebrate, I’ve added a whole new category: digifilm. I hope that these first few meager offerings will encourage others to send in their digifilms from all over the planet, to enhance this small journal of “gentle moos from round the world.”
