Like a dog In rain Lulling Want and onyx Lulling Lulled Somebody give me an MFA.

* This weekend I was able to get new work together for Area Sneaks (I have trouble keeping up with magazines that want work, and I owe work to many magazines that asked me before Area Sneaks did, but this … Continue reading →

Yesterday I finally put together the time and the money to go to the P.O. and mail a bunch of old Etsy orders and Foursquares.  I also bought stamps, so Etsy orders should not be delayed if you place an … Continue reading →

In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I will be in NYC Thurs-Sun for the Boog City Small Small Press Book Fair and related happenings.  See the schedule here (.pdf).

Good things about this week:

So, at work today I picked up the new issue of Artvoice and read my horoscope: “The reality of love is mutilated when it is removed from all its unreality.” So said the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard in his book … Continue reading →

Here. This article made me teary. Meanwhile I’ve moved into my own Buffalo apartment. It’s medium-sized for a Buffalo apartment… the LR is about 11×12′, the bathroom and kitchen are both good sizes but not “large” by any means, and … Continue reading →

Hilda really likes this song.  She snuggles up to the computer. There are no good videos of this song on YouTube.  Both the Dixie Chicks and Elvis versions are really low-tech.  Elvis is great, but I like the gender turn … Continue reading →

I can’t wait to get paid this week so I can pay the minimum on one of my credit cards, my car insurance, another bill, another bill, and do laundry.  If I have money left over I might get a … Continue reading →

It’s like Mrs. Dalloway but with an alternate ending (since Clarissa was lucky enough to have all her guests and Septimus was only an almost anonymous shadow of death.) Buffalo architectural history is really interesting but whenever Buffalo history intersects … Continue reading →

I took advantage of my comp tickets and went to the BPO concert tonight. The program included Beethoven’s 5th, which is pretty great. When I sat down and heard the instruments tune, I almost cried. The tuning-up period is really … Continue reading →

I have been researching cat food so I can change my cats’ diet to a more natural, protein-rich one. They’re predators, after all, and feeding them “diet” or “indoor” foods that are mostly carbs (as most pet foods are) seems … Continue reading →

1. The subway. Public transit is great in theory but in practice, in a city this big it’s disgusting. In the winter it’s a disease factory, where sick people spread germs to healthy people and the stress of everyday life … Continue reading →

I’m reading Friday night at Stain Bar in Brooklyn.  Details here.
