prose up poetry down...

"nerds are kind of magical--like witches"
--Dodie Bellamy (Pink Steam)

picked up Pink Steam this morning and couldn't put it down...

it was great reading Tony Hicks' (Co Co Times music critic) review of the Sonic Youth/ Pearl Jam show last weekend...it was great seeing the term "Pink Steam" in print in a major "family" newspaper even if it was used in reference to the Sonic Youth song and not the Bellamy book because i/ we know the Sonic Youth song is named after the Bellamy book and that's all that matters...(side note: Kathy Acker was mentioned in last week's Sunday Times as one of the "100 authors you must read before you die"...go Contra Costa County Newspapers!!!)

currently drinking white wine and sweating...

i had the epiphany this week that i have zero tolerance for poetry in the hot seasons (as far as reading goes)...so, as of today i'm switching exclusively to prose (as far as reading goes) until the hot season is over...up next, The Last Temptation Of Christ by N.K....

JUST over being gross so i might try to run tomorrow...anyone game can meet me at the Concord High track at around 9:00 AM...

missed the DB Taxt release party because i got lost in Oakland...well, not really lost...i never had directions...entirely my fault...and the blackouts...i heard it was good though...

cabin feverin' it with JW this coming weekend...i promised myself that i wouldn't get gross...stick to the facts jack!
