The National Poetry Slam is Dead
Crazy busy at work and home this week but, along with managing my GSL fantasy football draft, I’ve been surfing around for the scoop on Nationals. (LA won by the way; Nuyorican came in second and San Jose’s Mike McGee won the indies.) Between Blogger and LiveJournal, I suspect the poetry_slam list will be rather
Balseros One of the most heartbreaking documentaries I’ve ever seen. The flip side of Buena Vista Social Club and a must-see for all you pseudo-revolutionaries out there that need a little dose of reality to flesh out your one-dimensional rants.

Missed this one on Saturday: Your Daily Horoscope for May 17, 2003 Dear Guy, No doubt you are a well-respected member of the community, Guy, and you must feel some responsibility for maintaining the image you project. This pride in yourself is a sign of your integrity, but it may also cause you problems. You
But I’m not the least bit excited
Ditched the morning sessions of the conference yesterday and wandered the streets for a couple of hours, getting some air and clearing my head.
