– YESTERDAY – Sent out a comprehensive GF email. After work, I walked to a Barnes & Noble and worked on reading and “to do” lists for the next year. Beginning next Monday. I went home and put off dealing with the bedbugs for another night, though I was able to relay a message to the landlady about contacting an exterminator.

In poetry, that constitutive project relied on two fundamental principles.

– YESTERDAY – EDIT: Sorry, kids. Yesterday was a frustrating day, although I’m in a very good mood about it. If you’re curious, email me for more info.

– JUNE – Is skin cancer awareness month.
– TODAY – Is Vegan World Day.

Well, the word is out.
In the past we’ve have “krauts” and “japs” and “gooks.” Now the Iraq war has defined its own ethnic “nickname” for the people we’re over there “helping.”

Two sentences today, to make up Friday.

– WEEKEND – Friday was relatively quiet. I read the Wolf Baron’s script (after spending over a week trying to convert it from Word Perfect), and then Jess and I walked out to a Diner over in the Heights – Happy Days – and had the Usual.

I won’t go into the “master plan” updates just yet… I’ll be ready to do that in a week, and if I do so now not only will I be somewhat disorganized about it, but it would be a very long ramble.

No pomo today, kids. I forgot to send myself the sentence. I’ll do a twofer on Monday.

END OF POST.

– I FORGOT TO MENTION – The Tonight Show on Wednesday night: guests George Carlin and Ann Coulter. Who, now that I’ve seen in screen and in the flesh, I’m convinced is actually the manifestation of an all-too-real Skeletor. No, it was interesting and entertaining.

Paragraph 3, Sentence 8:

The composed meditative voice of the romantic lyric then yields to a theatricalized yet overrefined nervous sensibility seeking an ironic distance which will both give vent to its alienation and free desires to dwell in the alternative world produced by the work’s formal structures.
