Yesterday, I was speaking to a woman who started her own business teaching inner city kids how to run and cook at a restaurant. She said that she still wakes up in the middle of the night with ideas. So this morning when I woke at 4 am and came up to my computer to get some work done that was tumbling around my head I realized I was back in the saddle again. In…
Bill Lavender has a new chapbook out and it cost – $10 – JFC? – what goes on? $10 – you should buy 3 of them. Right now. There are 36 pages, which means it is 27 cents a page, and I’m not sure of the poem count but I can tell you that let’s just say there is a poem every two pages that means you get a poem for 55 cents each. Fifty…
Just downloaded Tweet Deck which is helping me manage multiple Twitter and Facebook accounts; EXCEPT I couldn’t load the second FB account and I can’t get the blinking Connecting to Facebook pop up to quit doing that! Annoying as hell. What’s even more annoying is not being able to figure out how to contact them to ask these questions that are not listed under the FAT (that is right – frequently asked tweets – I…
FOR THE YOUNG WHO WANT TO Talent is what they say you have after the novel is published and favorably reviewed. Beforehand what you have is a tedious delusion, a hobby like knitting. Work is what you have done after the play is produced and the audience claps. Before that friends keep asking when you are planning to go out and get a job.

Okay since I got started on this horoscope thing, I might as well carry it out.

So when I was set with a task recently, it was amazing to me how much the task whet my appetite…
We were supposed to be watching Treme but much like everything around here, T changed her mind and switched Netflix’s next in line to Big Love, which sort of vexed me at first since I was all set to watch Treme (just like I had been all set to watch Dark Shadows when she pulled the plug on that series) – T’s a Libra – they are supposed to be balanced since that is what…
It was Monday on steroids – so much to do I couldn’t catch a moment to reflect on how the hell I got so busy in my life. Tin woke up on the wrong side of the bed and decided to take it out on his nanny. At some point having glued myself to the computer I just had to walk away finally at 6:30 – 12 hours in front of the damn thing –…
Last night, I ran through a series of richly detailed dreams about the bayou, the portage, the history of this area that I call home, and I found myself moving in and out of historic homes and meeting people from all times. It was quite an incredible night that perhaps was brought on by conversations of late about conservation, about a tour I took with the Preservation Resource Center as part of the Kid’s Event…
