Went to last night's Belladonna reading, and it was pretty snazzy! Especially impressed by Eileen Tabios' reading. Although I check out
her blog from time to time, I've never really read any of her work. I only know her as the godmother of the hay(na)ku. So last night was a treat, and I came away with her new Belladonna chapbook, The Estrus Gaze(s). It has gorillas and France.
I'm also back on a writing kick. Hooray! Having finished my rough draft of Manamus, I am now back into shorter, more gleeful work.

A phrase that fills me with hollow dread is: "four to eight inches of accumulation."

I've been bitten by a blogging demon. Name some types of love for me? I'm looking forward to getting back to work on EVOL, my love-flarf project. I want to be done by Valentines' Day. After that I'm planning on a series called "Return to Sender," in which I write sonnets to dead people.

Oh, NPR weather guys, stop advising me as to the horrible wind chill; you do it only to mock me. Tomorrow I will go to work looking more like a living pile of scarves and hats than a human being.
Mandamus people: I will send you out your .pdf files tomorrow. I am sorry if it sucks/blows; it probably doesn't, but I have no perspective on it at all after working on it for the past week straight. I've changed the ending like sixteen times and I feel really depressed and I don't know if it's (a) because the poem sucks, (b), because it's just a depressing poem, regardless of its quality, or (c), because I've been reading novels in Spanish (all Spanish-language novels are depressing. The characters are either in jail or Los Angeles or some other stand-in for purgatory, and are usually being knifed to death by mysterious gypsies that are stand-ins for some big symbolic value), or (d), combination of the above.
