skated out to Rob Halpern and Lee's place for Thom Donovan's talk on disability, poetics, and form. i arrived sweaty and eager, i left cool and satiated. and it's always nice to see Jen Hofer, hi Jen Hofer! i have this fantasy where me and Jen Hofer are riding bikes, well she's riding a bike, i'm on a skateboard, around LA...we're probably wearing tank tops and shorts...it's hot out. we drink beers and laugh and laugh...Jocelyn Saidenberg meets up with us and we go swimming in the ocean, a family of sea otters probably makes friends with us while we're swimming laps, we name them Herbert (Dad), Sherbert (Mom) and Yogurt (Little Kid), we laugh and laugh about this as we pat the stupid little otters on the head...and then we probably get sandwiches and Kettle Chips and more beer and head to a park...we end the day picnicking in the park playing dominoes with our shoes off...the thing is, i think this is totally feasible. JEN HOFER LET'S RIDE BIKES!!!
so Thom's talk was really interesting. the discussion tht followed was really interesting. Brazil passed off the new issue of his mag Try. Eleni S. and i talked about Bruce Springsteen and collaboration. Brandon ignored my phone calls. i petted Jocelyn's dog (David Bowie pretty) while admiring Thom's shoes (David Bowie pretty). i drank lot's of red and white wine. i skated home even though i promised people i wouldn't. i didn't break my knee.
tonight is Adaye and Lance and Natalie's party Assassins at Deco Lounge. i'll go to that.
my mom bought me new jeans. they're beautiful. i went down a size. 33 34!
last night i read Wanders by Robin Blaser and Meredith Quartermain, also made a big dent in The Grand Piano #4. i've been reading like crazy the last couple weeks. feels good...something's brewing.
the baseball game with James and Emma was fun. we had crazy good tickets. i could reach out and touch the visitors dugout. baseball that close is a whole 'nother game. if i was rich i would buy season tickets in that section. easy peezy decision'ezy...no rich though.
Megan texted me "i went to a George Michael show last night...for some reason it reminded me of you...," which is just totally awesome.
i got speakers for my computer at work. or, speakers were given to me for my computer at work. currently bumping Strangers Die Everyday...thanks Art!
okay, back to work for now...
it's nice out today, it feels good out today...

Could it have anything to do with a possible physical resemblance to Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou?
r.,
whoa, who the hell is that?
i'm about to google...i'll be right back...
okay i'm back! i should have known...but he's tiny isn't he?
Yeah, but he's Greek! (for the record, I had to hit Wikipedia for his true name--just dimly remembered he's (half) Greek).
