nothin' like a squirrel lunging at your head to wake you up in the morning...

...see, the gross hippies at Naropa (they're a few) like to feed the squirrels bagels and chips and curry and patchouli-stink, or whatever they have in their homemade fanny packs and/or stuck in their hair...so, the squirrels no no fear when it comes to humans...in fact they get down right ornery...it's scary, like this morning, i'm smoking a cig in front of the archives, i hear a noise above my head, i look up, they're two pissed off looking squirrels perched about a foot above me on the lowest branch of the tree...they're super ready to pounce...so i back off, one of the squirrels evidently looses interest but the other one jumps down from the tree and runs up on me/ totally stalking mode...i'm like "oh shit" so i start backing off...then it jumps on the picnic table next to me (mere inches!) and starts chirping it's scary chirp...so i run to the archives and lock the door behind me and now i'm here blogging...

this IS NOT my week...

i'm not even going to get into the computer stuff...seriously i was getting panic attacks last night...i had to read a bunch of Batman comics to calm me down...i'm finally giving in and droping $125 to have a mac specialist pay me a house call...just take the money dude and make all my computer problems go away...eck...

but there seems to be some sort of light at the end of the tunnel...Stephanie Young is burning me a bunch of new cd's (!!!)...

AND Justin Lacour over at Kulturevulture ( http://www.kulturevulture.org ) solicited me for some work for the next issue...that rocks...

oh yeah, i almost forgot, more bad, i woke up an hour early this morning for work...6:45 instead of 7:45...i only realized in the shower while listening to Prince Best Of The B-sides...

go to Stephanie Young's page for thoughts on blogging and flarf...

go to Pierre Joris' page for thoughts on the Muslim cartoon crises...

i'm going to smoke another smoke then start work (an hour early)...

i love you all, this has not been my week...

ps. i sort of sound like a dick when i say "solicited me for work" huh? i should just say "asked me for work..."

pps. to all the Bay Area homies (as if you didn't alreay know and need someone landlocked in Boulder to tell you), go see Brandon Brown read tonight at the Blue Danube in the Richmond...Larry Kearney's reading series...

ppps. i just smoked a cig without being threatened by hippie trained squirrels...looks like my luck might be turning around...
