anyone else see "walk the line"? thought it was good. decent performances, but superficial attempt at dramatizing the creative process. everything else worked for me. best opening scene i've seen in a LONG time. a big complaint i've seen is that it misrepresents cash's father and first wife - appare...

all i get these days is tickets and thats not so bad but i know what you mean. it's better tho afterall than spending the nite in jail, or standing before a judge who hates you for no reason at all. the last ticket i got was by a piece of shit timewasting cop who had nothing better to do than notice...

happy and merry birthday.

snot holds in all the good ideas and they build up for later. be careful when you blow, you might lose a good idea. best to take zicam, wild turkey, buffalo wings and lots of very cold water. keep the notebook handy. i dont advocate the use of illegal substances but i do recommend them. you know the...

monkey noodles and a can of military issued emergency water.

best read in large doses, getting in the mood and midst of it. most of jacks writing is personal anyway, mostly his attempts to capture his own mind experience.

does it count if one is reflecting on one's own mortality if one was nearly run over by the old man behind the wheel and only very slightly behind and creeping right beyond with meaning and gusto the obviously there stop sign alongside the road upon one was driving this morning? does it count if one...

"ficciones" is a good collection.

i liked "...solitude", but, yeah, you need a notebook to keep track of everyone.

does taking responsibility mean that he's also accountable for appointing a horse club president as the head of the dept responsible for the security and safety of american citizens? bush is an idiot, a liar and a thief. the only way he can take responsibility is by letting someone else reappoint ev...

george saunders was interviewed a bit ago, like last week or something, over at maud newton. it's a pretty good interview, if you ignore the self-indulgent cleverness of the interviewer, which i'll ask you to do. george saunders is a very capable short story writer who you might say is a combination...

but for those of you who arent, but want to be, i should tell you that kurt vonnegut is going to be on "the daily show" this evening. on comedy central at 11 pm. also, part 2 of its weeklong feature, "evolution, schmevolution." funny, funny stuff. hopefully, jon stewart will keep his trap shut long ...
