Sicko
I saw Sicko. I laughed. I cried. Literally. I felt like puking. I didn’t puke, but I liked the audience participation aspect: a film about sickness that actually makes you feel sick! I felt like moving to Canada. I thought … Continue reading

If you’re a 4SQ subscriber and you get an automatic email from PayPal asking for $24, don’t pay it (unless of course you want to give me an extra $24. I won’t interfere).
More kittens!
Anyone who meets my cat Basil loves him. People who weren’t “cat people” before admit that maybe cats can be as cool as dogs. People who were allergic to cats before don’t mind taking medication so they can be around … Continue reading

Shame
I walked down to the new Corner location of Revolutionary Soup for lunch today. I’d never been there before, but I’d heard great things. As they say, the food “did not disappoint.” But more importantly there is an English Major … Continue reading

My friend Mark found some darling kittens running around in the street and brought them to my house. It’s nice to feel like I’m the kitten refuge. We found their owner rather too immediately, even before I could take lots … Continue reading

Well, I checked into Ron’s blog to get Pierre’s url and noted that he’s reviewed the Zinc reading. The only problem with a positive review from Ron is that it inevitably leads factions of people to hate me or to … Continue reading

a midsummer night’s dream
Well, I forgot to put flowers under my pillow. I dreamt that I was in a large classroom full of people sitting “Indian-style on the rug” in a circle. There were two large white birds with long, gramophone-shaped tails. The … Continue reading

I had a long, winding dream. I was having a large party. Everyone I knew, had ever known, was ostensibly there. Two girls I never really got along with in high school were lovingly checking the library, preparing the hors … Continue reading

Virginia is so green and breathable.
Poetry readings really aren't my thing. Why does the audience cower? Who says the author knows anything about how to read?

I spent the afternoon at a sausagefest
And it wasn’t a poetry reading!

Happy Bloomsday! I had a beer. Inspired by something Curtis Faville said, I also had some fabulous poetry ideas– we’ll see if I actually get around to making any of them.

Anyone in Cville, New York, or points in between have a slide projector I could borrow for the weekend? I need it for the reading with Ron on Sunday.
Truman (aka Carl Rakosi) ended up going home with Tommy and my parents. It was difficult to let him go, but Tommy will benefit from having a cat friend. Turns out, it’s not that I have too many books but … Continue reading
