I just told Dino, and (independently) he came up with the obvious answer--"Lean it!" Of course, it took me rambling on about collar anchors before I got there--you can tell who wears the toolbelt in our house, huh... Dino follows the Greek method of building things: First, throw away all instruction...

Well, NOW you've got me thinking. Hmm--hanging it ON your drywall wall will be okay; supposedly, you can hang up to 300 lbs, but what I'm wondering is how you'll attach the hangers TO the painting. Maybe you should just plan that in from the beginning? You know, like if you had the four corners with...

Thanks, L Rod, and mnaz, you're generous. I'm glad it did for you what I was trying for. Yeah, the playing with perceptions of reality was important to me. On PIB, someone commented, "i like it because i don't know if the narrator is telling the truth - i don't know if the narrator would even know w...

Thanks. This is odd; I would never have guessed that people would read this as "fun"--it just didn't occur to me. While I am playing with questions of identity/truthfulness etc., this happens to be a true story, mine. I'm a little worried that it misfired like this; while I WAS trying to keep the to...

Here's my first draft of the flyer for the PIB 3rd anniversary party--I originally did the image for a project of HaroHalola's, Haikurotica, that I'm illustrating, but PIB's borrowing it. Once she okays it, I'll move it over to Announcements (if I can figure out how).

Yeah, I've been thinking over the insult/retribution poem idea lately, too, a good one posted on PoetryinBaltimore.com and then seeing this on AC. Might hafta try it.

Damn! This is good. I've only just got here, guys, and I'm reading the archives, so forgive if I bring older poems up again? The language, the writing-how-you-talk, yet seeing into the depths of what-it-meant, this is something I'm wrestling with, too, Doreen. NICE.

The Cats

I'd like to tell you they are now Owners of a small motel in Florida; That they lounge in the sunny courtyard And only rent to old women, PETA members. But this is too important to be told By an unreliable narrator. I am trying not to lie. I had fifty cats, once-- "Had" in the sense that I Had a boy...

There once was a Submarine chef Who would stare or else talk you to death-- He'd serve you a meal And then leave you to feel That his aura was made up of meth. This might be sorta off topic, or too self-referential--I made it up years and years ago to describe a co-worker at the Yellow Sub, a restau...
