estela have you heard of poet j0an j0be smith? she has ASKED to be in our anthology!

well the awful truth is that i didn't actually quite send it yet, but i now solemnly vow that before this day is through, i will.

my email life is in total disarray, the worst it has ever been i think.

no i haven't heard of her, where is she from? xp

oh my goodness estela you sneaky lady!

she's american, a friend of bukowski's, well-known small press poet, editor of pearl magazine and bukowski review. she emailed me and said that she had seen our thread on the bukowski forum and would like to a part of it if it wasn't too late. like i was gonna say NO WAY JOSE YOU'RE PAST THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE.

i'm just reading about her now, that's great she wants in. can you put me down for a copy? or are you sold out already?

we're sold out of the first edition, but after advertising on the bukowski board and selling it, we then realised we hadn't taken into account family/friends who might want copies, so i'm making extras. you can definitely have one! here's our cheap-ass 'website' (LOL):

i know it looks kind of pretentious that i'm named as 'j. paul' but there's 2 reasons for that:
- gotta be careful where my name comes up because of residency app next year. probably paranoid, but just being careful.
- don't want my biological father finding out anything about me and trying to get in contact.

well valid reasons aside, i like 'j. paul', i think it looks elegant.

and thank you! will you want payment in mallow puffs or cash?

j. paul cuntry

mallow puffs! j/k it would cost more to post mallow puffs than it would to pay for this thing. consider it a gift, but ONLY if you email me that thing you promised to email so many moons ago!!

that 2nd reason isn't as dramatic as i made it sound. guy is just a weirdo who i don't like, and suddenly turned up at my work earlier this year after more than 8yrs of no contact. i just can't be bothered dealing with him and his weirdness.

going to bed now and wishing I was having fun with all of you... ;_;

It somehow seems pathetically sad that I'm the next poster after myself. 6 hours people!!!

I am at salon spending way too much on color right how. Oops!
At least it is Saturday!

ooooo....what color?

5RB with 6R highlights

Goin old school after brown for years

is that red brown with red highlights?

tza, come to seattle

lxy/jergins i passed yr house last night / i might move over there.

& also :

my parents are coming from RI to Seattle this afternoon. they are to meet girlfriend. i'm a little scared? she must be nearly crappin' herself.

Good heavens, man, that's quite swiftly serious sounding if that's the case! Should we plan your bridal shower now? (Oh wait I got that wrong.)

oooh wow!

remy, wld love to come to seattle. need to find time + dollars.

Holy cow, remy!!!

I am so excited about Obama. Srsly. I have been excited since I saw him speak on '07 but now it is finally hitting me and I am SO excited. It's been a long time since anything about this world made me hopeful.

I had some awesome pecan pie a bit ago, am drinking lovely wine and waiting for Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings to come on Austin City Limits. Hope your Saturday nights are equally great.

it is possible that FB and K and i just spent a bunch of time getting shithoused and listening to bands that were crap w/free booooooze.

HELLO FREINDZ

hey also there was a terrible band there from brooklyn but i do not hold my NYC peeps to blame, but holy shit, something something XYZ was CRAP

Hello all, I just had tiramisu in St Moritz, this holiday has been awesome. Going the long way back from Venice to Zurich we came over the mountains. Train through the snowy passes, spirals and switchbacks up and down. Sun shining. I am beaming.

Train just did an entire 360 inside a mountain.

You know, if they figure out the Senator from Alaska before the one from Minnesota, I'm going to have to laugh a bit.

Sounds groovy, Ed. TRAIN TRAVEL DESCRIPTION PAGES DR. FREUD. When are you guys back? I'm done redoing my fillum treatment and off to a surprise party. Farmer's Market was excellent yesterday because all of our customers were talking about how happy the election made them. It was my last day and hours later I got a text from F4rm3r Nige1 telling me to look in my bag. In bag, envelope with Xmas bonus!

Still intermittently stopping doing whatever I'm doing to totally headrush over the Obama win. The Coleman/Franken race means I've been wary of calling home since my mom refused to call MN for Obama on speakerphone and chewed me out for voting Franken, who annoyed her long before he was a politician. So I haven't.

i just woke up to a friend freaking out that she may be having an allergic reaction and an email from my sister that is so mean i was in tears. can i start today over?

yay maintenance is finally recaulking our showers. i don't know why they were caulked to begin with instead of grouted (just the corners, the tiles are grouted). however, there is also some kind of caulk on the floor that's a mess, and the guy said he would only replace that if someone in the basement complains about water leaking... even though shower water has already clearly damaged the sink cabinet. way to go, crazy dudes.

also whenever landlady and maintenance dude start talking in mandarin it seems to escalate to a fight rather quickly, which somewhat concerns me...

I'm REALLY tired and thus having trouble comprehending your posts, tehresa, but it sounds like you've had a bad day!

Also feeling frustrated that I cannot wave a magic wand and cure people. UNFAIR

You should learn Mandarin so you can officiate.

AFAIK mandarin always sounds like an argument about to get violent.

ugh is it really monday AGAIN!?

i could do without this day.

It's a day that exists to remind us how well the other days can be in comparison.

At least on Monday the week is fresh and shiny, full of the hope of productivity. By Wednesday all is smudged, scratched and filled with the despair of reality.

In between is Tuesday, the nexus point of slough.

Only four hours of clinical tonight, from 6 to 10, and then I can jump in to writing a billion pages for Thursday. Clinical is going to be the highlight.

my sister (the one who is NOT mad at me!) is on her way up from d.c. for visiting today and tomorrow with her bff, and i am sad because i have to go to class both nights. stupid school.

"stupid school" = painfully OTM

I hope you get to have some fun with your sister and her bff anyway, tza!

fukkin hate computers

My computer hates me, but it's usually not the other way around. So I'm thinking this is a programmer thing.
