Nigrinisms

I notice I have been using the word "hell" a lot in my recent writing... Is ths perhaps a subliminal message come to the fore??

For those of you interested I will be showing The Furies -- one of my recent films -- at the NJ Historical Society in Newark, NJ on January 26th at Noon...I'll have more info on this next time and it will also be screened in China at Creek Art Center, (Shanghai, China).
