About me:

.. Quick of wit and sleight of hand, thirtysomething with a penchant for literary narcissism. My first book of poetry with a major publisher will be published in the winter (and not even of my discontent). It's titled JOINING ATHENE and will have a small print run which means that all 20 of my myspace "friends" will have to share. HA! Athene, by the way, was the Greek goddess of weaving. ....

Who I'd like to meet:

Myself in ten years

Margaret Atwood, A.S. Byatt, Kelly Link, Sylvia Plath, Mel Brooks, Eleanor Roosevelt, Roland Orzabal

    I know, I know, today is the shower and the cat is you. But really, it'll be over before you know it and on the plus side you'll be squeaky clean and the better for the experience once it's all over.

    Now get on out there and have a thoroughly refreshing MONDAY.

    Last night I dreamed I was Tommy Lee Jones in Coalmainer's Daughter. How weird is that? "Kentucky ain't nothing for me except a lung full of coal dust, Lo-retta."

    sobriquet is a word that keeps popping up in the book Gangs of New York. every great criminal had a colorful sobriquet. i'd wager it has the most uses of the word in any book ever.

    I would LOVE that! Just tell me when and where and I will be there with bells on. Okay maybe not bells... but you know something slightly more decent.

    And where was I during the Ian Moore show? I swoon over his songs.

    Hi, how's life been treating you? I hope well.

    Now, I think that there is beauty in everything, and certainly sketching can bring out that beauty, right? :) I have also taken up still photography a little more seriously with the tee business and all. So... sure.

    Hope you have a great weekend. T
