Electric Michelangelo Question 5

what do you think about Cy's thoughts on the mermaids - as they relate to female sexuality, implied or obvious? Does the foreshadowing of the Pisces vaginales serve to intensify this connection, or lighten it with some humor?

what do you think of Riley's (and then Cy's) connection between women and the smell of rain or the sea?

Electric Michaelangelo Question 4

if you were to get a tattoo, what would you get? where would you have it?

what do you think Hall was trying to express when she described Riley's tattoo on his foot?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright,

In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Electric Question Three

When Cy first starts to work at the tattoo shop he comments on Riley's disposition and his ability to see humor in the dark. He says, "Perhaps he had come of his trade well fitting with a character already formed and suitable, or perhaps the trade had made him." Do you think there are any jobs that you were "made" for or thinking about your job now, has it made you?
