An arm with a tattoo: "I was made for the library, not the classroom."

David Wells is going down tonight like a fat drunk in a bar fight with a midget. Oh, wait. That WAS David Wells! Let's go Marlins!!!!!!!!! In other news, Bard was a bust so I'm looking for something else to read. Got about 10 pages in and just couldn't get into Llywelyn's style of writing. Too bad, as I was hoping for something along the lines of an Irish version of Aztec. Grabbed Edwidge Danticat's Breath, Eyes, Memory off our bookshelf this morning and got through the first chapter on the train before giving in to a nap. Nothing to…

Pumpkin Seeds: 10/15/2003

350 pages into AMERICAN GODS and I'm thinking of Stephen King's NEEDFUL THINGS. As in somebody desperately needs a good editor. The first two episodes of Smallville this season have been as good as anything on TV in the past decade. George Clooney has Parkinson's. Look for the announcement within a year. There's absolutely nothing sexy about Pink. And yet, there is. Cosmetic surgery for purely cosmetic reasons annoys me. As does relaxed hair, colored contacts and liposuction. People without kids should NEVER offer advice about how to raise them. What kind of upstanding business can you run in 1200…

Authors-on-your-shelf meme (Meme: copy somebody else's list, delete the authors that aren't on your shelf, and add some authors you have - keeping the number at ten.) Dawn Saylor's List: Neil Gaiman Michael Chabon Jack McCarthy Douglas Adams Philip K. Dick Sandra Cisneros Lee Francis Erica Jong Jhumpa Lahiri Jonathon Franzen My List, in no particular order: Lawrence Block Carl Hiaasen Matt Ruff Ed Greenwood Jessica Rydill Howard Zinn Gary Jennings Eduardo Galeano Willie Perdomo Patricia Smith Not a single bit of overlap! Unless you count comic books, in which case I can claim Gaiman via 1602. And I think…

Site Updates

Oh, yeah! I've tweaked loudpoet.com somewhat over the past couple of weeks, among other things, improving navigation between it and this journal - check it out over on the right. I'm still too lazy to figure out how to post this thing directly into my web site and kind of like the blogspot address. I've also added some new content to the words section, primarily essays, including my review of It's A Wonderful Life that originally appeared in my zine, zuzu's petals. In short stories, a life in progress is the first chapter of the never-completed novelization of the ill-fated…
