The guy who pushed Mark off his bike last year just pled guilty to second degree murder (in another incident -- Mark is fine).

My own urge to kill? Fading . . . fading . . .

Someone has to design fountains. Like the kind in public squares and mall food courts and the lobbies of pretentious office buildings. Can I do that? Please?

God. I just want to beat things with sticks. I wish people didn't have faces. It's much easier to beat something if it doesn't keep looking at you while you do it.

Bad Mood, Day 2. They get better as the days wear on. But next morning, it's like the mood has reaccumulated overnight.

Editing poems, watching Dirty Jobs, studiously and happily avoiding the SotU Address.

I have 33 poems that are ready to go out into the world, and about 15 more that need just a bit more tweaking. I am going to send out some Oranges poems. I love them -- but it's hard for me to gauge whether they totally work on an individual poem level: the work, as a whole, is heavily based on the idea of accretion, and without reading the poems that precede it, any individual orange poem could just seem like a random assortment of lines.

The Spectacle of Meat is looking pretty ready to go: most of the meat poems have achieved their final form. I'll be revising a few others to go in, but I expect it to go quickly. I might even have the final text ready by the weekend. Then it will be page design time. W00t!

Really in an unbelievably foul mood today. So, whoever you are, wherever you are, I hate you. Just for today, most likely. But still.

At any rate, if you made one of those new year's resolutions to be "more grateful" or something, today you should be grateful that human beings did not evolve to possess killer eye lasers. Because if we had . . .

ZZZZZZAAAAPP!!

Received:

The Oulipo Compendium
bird-book, by Jessica Smith

Got some editing done on the train down to CVille, I hope to clean everything up and get it shipped out to journals tonight (fingers crossed, fingers crossed).

The Spectacle of Meat isn't far in the offing. Huzzah (and finally!) Going back to CVille this weekend to take a letterpressing class. Not much else going on right now . . .

At the first incarnation of Lolita and Gilda's Burlesque Poetry Hour, Kim Addonizio's panties go for forty-two dollars.

The look on Reb Livingston's face? Priceless.
