a: Yes and no. A proper reply requires a longer explanation which I will provide at some point.

b: Yes. But he told me that it freaked out his girlfriend extremely, because the character "Todd" that I described so perfectly matched him (and Todd, of course, gets a bullet in the head.)

“I think she’s trying to save it,” I heard outside my door, waking from a dream of touring a laboratory where giant paper mache heads in a tank teetered between sinking and floating. ... That was the first moment I felt the “How do I define who I am? How do I maintain the integrity of my system?” described here. Then, I was passed out on the floor in front of a giant canvas while in an artist residence. Now, I find myself feeling a different variation of the time, looking into a fortress of tolerance for what I’ve preserved.
